edited September 18 in Success Stories
After I had my children I was size 18. I bought myself some clothes just last week i tried everything on in my usual sizes, 18 for bottoms and 1X for shirts. They were too big! FOR ONCE!! Usually I have to get a bigger size! When the lady came by I asked her for a size smaller which is 16 and just X. To my surprise they were still too big! Finally I had found my size... 14 !! X is too big for me now as well, but in Penningtons 14+ (LOVE THAT STORE) its the smallest they had haha I've lost 20lbs It says 15 but thats water weight. So I am now down to 199 size 14!! I want to get to size 10, im sure another 20lbs and I will be at that size and half way to my goal!! XD

    What exciting news for you!!! I can't wait until I drop sizes, you have encouraged me to push harder.

    Okay, that's really exciting and inspiring! I would love to be able to start shopping in regular stores again and be under 200 again! Good for you girl!

    You know what I did this weekend? I went out and bought a bunch of clothes in one size too small for me so I would be motivated to lose those few extra pounds and be able to fit in them. It might sound kinda weird, but if the clothes are cute enough, it really makes me work that much harder :happy:

    Thank you all!!

    Being able to motivate others is motivation itself for me! That's awesome! I can't wait until I can shop in a normal store as well.. Though I will miss the ladies at the 14+ store haha
