15 pounds down with a mini-victory!

Hi there! I'm so excited about my success on here so far, I had to share a mini-victory I had today. To preface: I'm 5'2", and currently 117lbs, with a starting weight of 132lbs.

A few years ago, I was really happy with my weight (about 105-110) and had a few pair of jeans that I LIVED in and loved. As the weight gained, the jeans got tighter. Then it got to the point where I couldn't button them, and I hung them in the back of my closet, secretly hoping I'd wake up one day and they'd magically fit.

When I started on this site, I was pushing 140lbs, on a high dose of prednisone and felt so helpless and hopeless. I joined this site, changed my eating habits, and the weight slowly started to disappear.

A few weeks ago, I did some "closet shopping" and the jeans fit! They were a little snug, but I was so happy, I wore them anyway, muffin top and all. I continued eating a very healthy diet and maintaining a positive attitude, and the weight kept coming off. Today, I put the jeans on, and now they're loose!

This website really is such a great tool in weight loss and maintaining a healthy attitude. I'd like to thank everyone on my friends list for the amazing support I've gotten from each and every one of them. If I can do this, YOU CAN TOO! Feel free to add me!

Congratulations! That is so exciting! Fitting into clothes that you love is so reaffirming, especially when they are "magic!"
