edited September 2024 in Success Stories
Every six months for at least the last two years I have had an "I desperatly need new jeans" moment when I realize that my current pair look like I borrowed them from an older sibling. Last go round it was down to a size 12 and that was an OMG moment, i was about 12 the last time I fit into a size 12 - this go round I thought I would be looking at a 10... nope - size 8 and I nearly had a heart attack - I have NEVER in my life worn a size 8. I went from Kids Fat clothes into a size 12 jeans when I was younger (my mom had to hem them to make them short enough)... At my largest I was a size 26-28.... I am still in shock!!

    :laugh: :laugh: I'm not that concerned with losing anymore - 10 would be nice but I wouldnt cry if I didnt lose another pound... my body seems to have other ideas though! I was happy when I was 20lbs heavier... Now I want to TONE!

    Wow, that's so exciting!! I've never been an 8 either so I can imagine your excitement. I went from kids fat clothes to a woman's 10 when I was about 12.

    :laugh: I dont really think that I HAVE to lose 10more - I was supper happy when I was 20 and even 40lbs heavier than I am now... My body however seems to have other ideas! I am trying to tone up now more than lose weight. :happy:

    about the same here... being the fat kid kinda sucked! But I figure all of us who went through it and came out the otherside are the stronger for it!
