Size 6!!!

Subject head pretty much says it all. Lately I've not been weighing myself, but I've been getting discouraged because I haven't really being seeing the weight loss in the mirror. To me I don't look any smaller. I've been on a 1200 calorie diet and working out between 45 - 60 min. a day. The other day I was horrified to find that my thighs actually appeared to be bigger.
I felt pretty ripped off -- like I work my butt off, and I end up bulking up instead of slimming down?
My boyfriend assured me I didn't look any bigger at all; if anything, "certain parts" of me looked smaller and more toned. I decided to test the theory and try on some stuff. Even on what should have been the worst day of the month for puffiness, I still had to go down to size six in pants!
I was stunned. I thought "oh, it must just be a big size six," so I went and found the most daunting thing on the rack: skinny jeans.
THEY FIT. They actually looked good. I still can't believe it.
I started working out and watching my weight two months ago, and I have gone from a size ten to a size six, and toned up quite a bit in the process.
Break out the celebratory Doritos and beer! (Just kidding.) :drinker:
