edited September 28 in Success Stories
you know when you see the success stories in magazines or on TV and people are literally standing in one leg of their fat pants??? i have seriously never in my life either thought i was big enough in the past to be able to do this at my smallest or i would never get small enough to ever be able to do this.....

WELLLLLLL, i was wrong on both parts lol....at my biggest: 263lbs i wore a size 24 pants and an XXL top....currently i'm wearing 12s and i bought a pair of 10s this weekend which is what brought me to this post....

i knew i wanted to try on my old size 24 jeans sometime soon but just decided on saturday after a very happy afternoon buying a pair of size 10 skinny jean shorts from ny&co that i would grab the old pair off the shelf....well when i did, i also found a pair of jean shorts and a pair of khakis both in size 24 too.....i brought them down to the kitchen to show my husband...he grabbed my iphone and took some pics for me.....sooooo, without further ado, here they are....i can not believe i am posting pics showing my belly (i'm not done yet and there is much work to be done here, even considering a tummy tuck when i get to my goal) but i am just soooo amazed by the changes i HAD to share.......thanks for looking and please know that anything is possible....after seeing these pics i honestly believe that hard work does pay off...it might take time, almost 3 1/2 yrs for me so far to lose 75lbs, but those 75lbs are gone for good....i still have another 25-40lbs to get to my goal but i am constantly reevaluating as i go thru this process to get the best me....

1st pic is me wearing the size 24 jeans....

    Dude, those shorts? You should cut off the other leg & the pocket, put the pocket on the leg and make it into a cute skirt! :happy: Btw, you look great!
