:wink: Well, I finally got to go shopping..my size 18's were literally falling down around my ankles and I was swimming in my xl shirts. WELL! I figured I'd buy Large shirts and size 16 shorts..WRONG! Medium shirts and size 14 bermuda shorts! I can't believe it! lol I was SOOO excited I almost burst into tears in the dressing room..lol My whole plan originally was I wanted to be a size 14 or a 12, looks like I have finally made it to 14 down from cramming myself into size 20's (probably should have been wearing 22's) I'm officially changing my goal...I now think I can make it to an 8 :love: Anyways, I just wanted to share because I am just so freakin' excited! :) I love you guys :flowerforyou:

    Congratulations!!!

    I went shopping today too!

    Went down two sizes in pants (from 24 to 22 though--those 14s are still ways off for me!).

    I was excited though!

    Maybe now that I've got pants that fit people might notice I've lost some weight.


    Dancing bananas for us both!

    That is so exciting. I am really happy for you. I have recently experienced the same thing myself. I am starting to wear all those great cloths tucked away in my closet that I have not worn since I gradueted high school. It feels great.

    I think that you changing your goal is wonderful. More power to ya! Keep up the great work!:wink:
