      Great job!!!!

      Side note: I hate to point it out, but size 18 to 8 is 5 sizes, not 10. Remember that female clothing skips a number between sizes: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16, 17/18...assuming you're talking US sizes, of course.

      Depends on the brand and where you bought it. Walmart will bunch up the sizes as you mention. But let me tell you.... a size 8 feels a lot different than a size 9. Ten sizes thanks.

      Well Done!! You look good in both photos, but the current one has a self confidence glow which is nice to see.

      Nice work!! I totally went to Hawaii this November, guess what!?!?!? I was wearing a "not so sexy" tank top and shorts and tried to stay in the water to cover it all up and then hurried over to my towel. That was a huge wake up call, so thank for the motivation and maybe next year Hawaii will be different with an actual swimsuit! You did amazing hard work and it shows!!

      I don't mind sharing my personal info if it's motivating for others. I'm by far perfect, but I work hard to keep going, even when I don't really want to. I am 5'6". At my heaviest, I was 215+. I kinda just stopped weighing because I didn't want to know. My lowest weight was 148. However, life happens and I let myself back into my old habits again, which resulted in gaining some back. I have about 20 lbs to go to be back at my lowest weight. When I was at my lowest weight, I'd say it took me about a year to get there from when I started caring about what I was doing. I'd bounce around up and down but not really make any headway until after my youngest was born. Then I realized if I wanted to be healthier and smaller, I needed to pay attention and start being accountable. My goal is to be back at 148 (or even 140) and be back into my size 4s and 5s in time for summer. In AZ, summer starts about the end of March so here's to all us reaching our goals and kicking @$$!
