I haven't yet reached my first goal, but I did have a WOO HOO ME moment this morning! I started out this journey at 228 lbs, and a tight size 18/xxl shirt. I am down 15 lbs now, and I put on my size 16 jeans this morning. I haven't been able to wear these in 4 years, and they FIT. They are comfortable! I'm not sucking myself in, they don't cut in to my tummy. I am SO proud of myself!

    Great start!! Glad you are focusing on the inches and not the weight[scale]! We use the same method,pair of slacks and try them on every week to track our progress and don't worry to much on what the scale says[hard to do]. Weight fluctuates day to day,week to week,month to month,people forget that you lose all over not in the area you want to lose it in. We weigh ourselves on the 15th and 30th. Keep it up!!:drinker:

    Rock on! Enjoy! I love your rewards! After I lost about 10-12 pounds, I treated myself to a rib tattoo. It hurt, but it was so worth it ;) Hang in there and keep focusing on those goals!!

    I am right there with you!! This morning I tried on my size 16 jeans that I haven't worn since 06 and they fit! I was doing the happy dance all around my bedroom. I started in a size 20. Isn't it a great feeling? Congratulations to you.

    How flippin cool is that! WTG! The clothes fitting part > scale IMO but getting your weight and your inches down together is the icing on the watching what goes in your mouth cake!
