in Success Stories
Although I'd tried to lose weight a few times before, my sister said that she saw this time it would be different because I looked more determined and focused about it. So she bought me a pair of jeans and a shirt a size smaller than mine on purpose. I told her she had just thrown her money away, she said that she was absolutely sure I would be wearing them in a few weeks. And she was right! I was dreading a bit trying them on, because I was afraid to be too disappointed and ending up giving up on my journey,you wouldn't believe how thrilled I was when I put them on and not only they fit, the jeans are a little loose on my thighs and hips! I need to buy a scale, so I can know the numbers for real, but this definitely proves I'm shedding the pounds. I know it's only one size down, but I couldn't be happier! Thank you, sis! :)

    Personally, using scale drives me crazy. Every little fluctuation gets my hopes up or drops them down. If you're wearing smaller clothing, clearly, you're getting somewhere! I like to wait until something is loose, or I am in a smaller size, then weigh,that way my scale victory is just as satisfying!

    **Great job on your loss! Keep up the fantastic work!***

    Good for you! Seems like sis knew something about you that you didn't--until now! Keep up the good work.

    That's awesome. You have got to want it so bad you can taste it and than you will be able to really do it. They always say nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. And they are so right!

    That is amazing, keep it up! I bought myself pants a size too small just before starting this and I'm happy to say I managed to fit in them too :)

    Thank you for all your kind messages! I definitely want to get the scale,because I'm very curious to know how much I've lost! I have soooo many clothes that don't fit me anymore, so I'm excited to start opening the closet where I put them!Who knows what might fit me next!

    Forget the scale. Invest in a measuring tape.

    Yay! Of course you're losing... you're doing so well with exercise and logging.
