For as long as I can remember I've been in size 16 jeans. At some points they even started to get way too tight.
Since the beginning of my journey I've dropped 32 lbs. (8 while on this site). Once I joined this site and started losing weight and toning through the 30 day shred, I noticed my pants were getting really loose. My belt was being worn thing just from tightening it so much.

As I headed home for fall break today I stopped at Walmart, quite excited that I might possibly be able to fit into size 14, finally! So I gathered up some jeans and some athletic-like pants and kept my fingers crossed that they would fit.

Well..... they were baggy! Turns out my jeans are now a size 12!!!! And I had to go even smaller for the other type of pants... I would usually buy them in a 16/18, and now I'm buying them in an 8/10! I was smiling the moment I left the fitting room.

    I just experienced the same joy this week. My pants are normally 10-12 depending on the pants but I went to Target on Monday and tried on and fit into three pairs all size 6!!!! I owed one pair of 18's previously and also had 16's. So congrats to us!!!! Keep up the good work my friend. This journey is not easy but possible. :wink:

    Keep it up!!! That is awesome! I'm new to this site and hoping to see some success soon. I've been doing ww for 3 months w/very little success. I'm hoping this site will work better for me, if I can see how many calories I'm burning during exercise, it may work better.

    Congratulations! I can tell I'm getting smaller though the scale doesn't reflect it. However, my T shirts and rings are fitting much looser. The water weight can leave now. ;)
