HOLY CRAP NSV with pic (underwear warning)

awelch79

So, its COLD here in northwest Indiana lately (high of about 59 so far today with rain!) so I have to break out the long pants. The problem was none of them fit! (YAY!) I had a few pairs of 10s from early this Spring, but even with a belt, they had that lovely bunching going on all around the waist so I decided to splurge on a new pair of jeans or two.

I had no idea what size I am in now, so I went into the dressing room with some JR size 9 and 11 and some regular size 8s and threw in a few 6s just to see how far I had to go. Imagine my shock when I slipped the 6s on and buttoned and zipped them with ease! OMG! A year ago I was in a tight 16!

Then, as if that werent enough to make my friggin day, I glanced in the mirror and saw this: ...somebody PINCH ME, Im dreaming!

Yes, I had to take a photo of the pic on my cell because I dont have Internet on my phone.

That is so encouraging! I was a tight 16 in January and now my 12s are getting baggy - could you send me your 10s?!?! ) I have mostly 8s in my attic, I seem to have skipped size 10 on the way up.

You look awesome!

What kind of exercises have you been doing since you started this? I'm really finding lots of inspiration from people on this site.
