I told myself I wasn't going to post my victories until I had lost 50 lbs and had some pics......but I can't wait! I have primary progressive MS so exercise is difficult, however since January I have lost 48 lbs!!!!! Now for the best part.......I started this journey in a Lane Bryant size 24 dress pant, I know for certain because I have many pairs as a part of my work uniform. They were getting so big I knew I MUST replace them, I had a couple of pairs of 22s that I "made do" with for a while. Yesterday I bought new pants in a size 20, thinking that was what I needed.......nope, tried them on at home and returned them to the store today for an 18!!!!!! Holy cow! I haven't been in an 18 in almost 30 years.....even if is a "big" 18!!!! I am loving life and celebrating today with extra pool time.....gotta love burning those calories in a cool pool! Can't wait to show off my new non baggy pants at work tomorrow!! (Oh yeah....they have ordered me new shirts at work, too)

    WOW . . that is so inspiring! Congrats!

    I have had much the same issue with pants and I finally went out and bought several new pairs because literally, some of my size 20's were falling down and/or so baggy!
