NSV - Time to Cruise

ncsjodi

I started my weightloss journey in January 2011 and have lost just under 100 pounds since then. I've gone from a size 22W to a comfortable size 12. Last May my husband finished a degree program in Paramedic Science and to celebrate we booked a Disney Cruise for the family for Spring Break 2012. It had been a hard, busy 2 1/2 years for all of us with Daddy not around very much. My initial goal was to be under 150 pounds by then, which would have meant a 110 pound loss. Needless to say, I'm not there yet.

Last November, I got an email from Lands End advertising last summer's swimsuits on clearance. I picked one out in a size 12 (I was wearing a 14/16 at the time) and bought it as a goal. I tried it on when I received it to find that the top of the tankini already fit, so I returned the top for a size 10. Had to have something to work towards.

Well, we leave for our cruise on Thursday so I pulled the swimsuit out to try it on and..... IT FITS!!!!! The top is actually a bit loose!



I can honestly say that I NEVER thought I'd be wearing a size 10 in anything!
