in Success Stories
A few years ago when I "first" lost weight I did it through pure calorie counting, so of course I was still chubby and "soft". Still, because I went from a size 12 to an 8 I thought I'd give a bikini a try. I ordered this hot red two piece from Victoria Secret but was soooooo disappointed when I tried it on that I shoved it in a drawer never to be seen again.....I eventually went back to my normal (bad) eating and stopped exercising and went up to a size 10. Once none of my clothes fit I decided it was time to make a REAL change.

15 pounds and many inches later, through macro maintenance, I'm back at my original weight loss BUT the bikini I've been working sooooo hard to look good in is now TOO BIG!!! For years this bikini has been sitting in my drawer and when I finally have the body and the courage to wear it out its TOO BIG!.....Oh well, guess I'll have to goooooo SHOPPING lol

    hahaha I know right! Unfortunately because of other priorities I haven't been able to go shopping since I lost weight, so I have no idea what size I am now. Even though I still have a ways to go body composition wise I am SUPER appreciative of where I'm at now and how far I've come to get here! Thanks MFP for all the support!
