edited December 2024 in Success Stories
Back in January I lost 30 pounds and was able to fit into a size 18 for the first time in I don't know how long. Well i fell off the wagon and ate like utter crap and stopped excercising for a couple of months and gained 20 of those 30 pounds back!
When I had dropped the 30 pounds I had bought about 5 pairs of size 18 jeans, and once I gained some of it back only 2 of the pairs of pants would button, and even those were so tight I couldn't wear them out without be super uncomfortable!

Alas! This morning I sat down to pee(sorry tmi) and i just felt smaller. i felt like I wasn't as huge as I had been, i moved my hands around my waist and I just didn't feel as fat!

So i showered and decided I was going to try on my size 18 old navy skinny jeans that even just a week ago it took all of my effort to button. I pulled them on and buttoned them without an issue. They are still a bit tight, but they were that way when I bought them back in January! I couldn't believe it! I feel like I am Queen of the world!!!

My goal for august was to be able to fit into all of my "new" jeans that were size 18 that I only wore a couple of time, and I am one step closer to that goal!

Thanks for listening to my babbling! And thank you all for your support! :)

    Wahoo! Congrats. Isn't it funny how you can "feel" skinnier and know that your body is changing? Love it!

    Yesterday, I ate double the calories for my goal. I don't know why I did it. But, I kept telling myself--it is just one day. Get back on track today. Reading your story really helped me. If you can come back down after a couple of months, surely I can get back on track after one day.

    Congratulations!

    Thank you so much for sharing! I had five days off from exercise and was feeling really depressed. Now I know I can get right back into it!

    Oh, and congratulations on the jeans! What a great feeling!

    Fabulous Job!!!!!!! That is such a nice feeling. I can't wait until I can get my favorite ring on with ease. I can actually get it on now but it is still tight and I MAY have to wash my hands to get it off :P
