In August 2012 I was wearing a tight size 18. This past weekend I bought a size 12 shirt and just today I bought a size 12 pants. I still have a ways to go to reach my goal, but these little highs along the way make it an easier road to travel.

    Isn't it a great feeling? I especially love the moments when I look at something and say "That'll NEVER fit!" and then it does. Great job!

    I'm so excited for you. The jump to be able to shop more places instead of just plus size is awesome! I'm so proud of you! You should take a pic of you now and compare it to then.
