    Congrats! My short-term goal is to fit into a riding jacket I bought about 2 years ago. I found it on clearance at a killer price. It was a tad too small then but if I took out the pads, I could wear it. Of course I said oh, I can lose a few lbs and wear this in no time. I wore it once and it was just too snug to comfortably operate the bike so I rode about a block, realized that it just wasn't going to work for a long day's ride, hung it up and there it stayed because not only did I not lose any weight - I gained. And, since I got it on clearance, I couldn't return it either.

    I tried it on yesterday and still a no-go but getting closer. I'm so tired of having to wear men's riding gear. I'm going to do the biggest happy dance when I can finally fit into some women's gear!

    Congrats on the weight loss, since I have started losing weght 45+lbs, I have lost 2 jeans sizes and 2 shirts sizes too. Some years ago I bought a mesh riding jacket online and it never fit but now it does. I like the feeling of the weight loss but buying new clothes is getting pricey, I rode 470 miles on may 25th and stopped at 4 stealerships but I got 12 news shirts and new sweatshirt.....I love the discount racks.
