    Thank you for sharing this --- you've done a terrific job. I have about 140 total to lose --- down about 45 so far. (Excited that the amount I have to lose is now in the double digits -- that's something, right?) I have a question, though, if you don't mind answering it. How much did you lose before you needed different sized clothes? I am not there yet, though I may be getting close. Like you, I'm 5'11", and therefore the weight is not as obvious on me. I wear a size 22, and have for a long time --- and am still able to wear a size 22. Clothes are definitely more loose and fit better than they did before, but I'm just wondering how much longer it will be before I really "need" new clothes.

    Thanks again for the inspirational post. You're awesome!!!

    It honestly dependeds on the person. Some people can lose 15lbs and drop, some lose 45lbs and then drop. It all depends on the person. As for me, the first drop in size didn't come until the first 25-30lbs were lost. I've gone from a 30-32 to a low 22 (meaning I can fit size 20 now, but there are still some 20's I can't fit yet, and may need to buy the size up). Don't be discouraged if the dress size doesn't change for you the way it may change for others! What I suggest is that you go to the store, pick up 4 different brands of the next size down, try them all on, if they all fit, GREAT, you have "sized-down" as like to call it, but if they do not, purchase the ones that fit the least, and make them goal pants. I love doing goals like this because it allows you to celebrate the small accomplishments rather than having to wait until your "final goal" to feel that you've achieved something wonderful! HTH!

Thanks for sharing your story, people like me appreciate seeing others progress. You are very inspirational.. :-)
