    I started on 02/24/12, as a size 22. I am now in 8/10. Still working on getting back into my 6's.

    You can do anything you set your mind to. Believe in yourself. I'll leave you with one of my favorite motivational verses...

    Anything is Possible

    Anything is possible, if you think it is worthwhile.
    If you’re willing to go the distance, to go the extra mile.
    With determination and effort, you can often achieve more.
    Because you don’t always get what you wish, but what you work for.
    Dreams can become challenging, but no matter what the cost.
    Strive to complete the task before you, and you’ll never end up lost.
    So bring with you your goals, and leave your doubts behind.
    Whether you think you can or can’t, you certainly will find.
    You’ll be right either way–so never quit, and this is why:
    You’ll never become a failure, until you fail to try.

    Good luck!

    I started at a 24 in July and am now in size 20 pants (down 38lbs). I'm very happy with my progress since I'm 6'2 and it takes tall chicks longer to drop sizes.

    Remember, this is NOT a race. Slow and steady keeps it off.

    I started in March @ 24W or 26.

    I am now down to 18W or 20W depending on the pants

    I went from large/XL shirts to medium/large again depending on the shirt

    I went from a 22W swimsuit down to an 18 which is now getting loose. I need to see if the size 16 I bought fits.

    I do have a few pairs of 18 pants that fit well and some that don't

    If I try and wear my 24's they slide right off my body.. it's an awesome feeling.

    I started at a very tight 28. Now I'm down to a comfortable/loose (depending on the brand/cut) 14 jean. Size 12 dress. I still see that really big girl in the mirror though. Waiting for my brain to catch up.

    I started in 26/28s and at 256 pounds. I'm now in size 10s (occasionally an 8 in skirts) and at 134. misscristie - I'm fighting that body image problem as well.

    Well, I started at a 24 and over 40 lbs later I'm in anything from an 18-24. I bought three pairs of jeans last weekend because my old 20s and 22s were falling off, and they were all the same brand of jeans, just different styles, and I ended up with a pair of 18s, 20s, and a pair of 22s. I have one newer pair of jeans in a size 24. Obviously, they woudln't have fit me 40 lbs ago, but sometimes it's frustrating that my size doesn't seem to be going down.

    In reality, I've had to get rid of a ton of clothes because they are just too big, but different brands and/or different styles fit differently.

    I'm 5'10" and my ultimate goal is a 12, maybe a 10. Really, I'll just be happy when I stop having to buy clothes in the W sizes because it seems like they are usually shorter than their smaller counterparts, and I have long legs!

    May 1 of this year I was a 22, but would have comfortably been at a 24. I started on another program and then switched to MFP this summer. I'm now comfortably in a 14 (48 lbs down total). There are weeks when I do great and weeks that I totally stink it up. My advice and support--just don't give up. Don't take a bad day or a bad week as an excuse to give up. Friend me if you are looking for someone to share your ups and downs with....

    I started as a 24 and I'm currently at 20/22!

    Actually, I JUST got a box of clothes that were too small for me out of the closet, and this adorable pair of pajamas I got last Christmas were in there. I've never been able to wear them because they were too small--they fit great now!!!

    You can definitely do it! For me, starting out (after the initial excitement) is the hardest part. When you can't see any results at all after 5 or 10 pounds, it's hard to stay motivated. But once you start seeing results, even small ones, it gets easier to feed the motivation! Good luck, you can do it!

    I started out wearing 26W. I now wear a size 12 pants and medium tops. I started on October 20, 2011 and have 28 pounds to go to more original goal. Also, I'm 58 years old with double knee replacements.

    So you are not alone and you CAN do it!

    I forgot to add this visual I took this week. The shirt on the bottom is size 4X that I was wearing snugly and the top shirt is a medium that I now wear.
