THIS IS AMAZING!!! Now I'm no size 4... but I had a similar experience over the Christmas holiday. I wear a size 22. Been a size 22 for several years now... So I've begun to lose weight and my pants are getting loose. My step-mother asks me what size I am in... Jeez... I'm not sure, all I know is that my jeans are loose. She says she bets I'm in an 18. (YEAH RIGHT!!!) She proceeds to say that she has a pair of 18's that are too long for her and me, being the tall amazon goddess that I am, would probably fit them well. Of course I try them on to humor her and whattaya know... They zip. And button. And I can breathe. I'm smaller than I was before I had my son. I am in an 18. WOW. This is huge for me. I haven't worn a size 18 in probably 10 years. Anyway, thank you for your story. You made me relive this recent and amazing triumph for myself. You have also pushed me that much more and made me feel confident that I can reach my short term goal of a size 16 pant by St. Patty's day. THANK YOU!!!

You are a tall beautiful amazon goddess aren't you?! Honestly, I was crying reading this. I'm sure you will be in a 16 easily by ST. Patty's day. I'd love to be in a size 4 jeans by then. Thanks for sharing also.

thank you! GOOD LUCK! WE CAN ALL DO THISSSS!!!

What a great idea - to put the logo on the back of the card to have that daily reminder! How fantastic to see your goal now in person! You're an inspiration to me for sure!

I just started today - my goal is only 12 lbs (for starters), but you story brought a tear to my eyes. It's a great reminder there are little things which can be done to alter our habits and give us daily reminders.

On the back of my card, I'm taping a picture of a cruise ship - because in June, I'm going to Europe for 2 weeks, and I want to look good.

It's bad enough I live in Southern California - probably the most shallow area in the world. I sure would love to be able to go to the beach and feel alright with myself in swim trunks!

Thank you once again for your story! I wish you the best of luck!

Wow, that is a great motivator Eric! I really want to go there one day too. Maybe I'll have to have as collage of items on the back of my card. I'm glad you are inspired.
