What a fantastic story!!! It really motivated me. Timely as I am cleaning out my closet of "fat clothes."

Thanks for sharing your story. We all want a version of that story for ouselves and that is why we need to hear that it is happens with time and determination. It seems like progress is so slow until you look back at where you started and how many times you tried before you found something that works.
I love that you bought all three jeans. What a man thing to do. Enjoy.

I nearly cried when I read this :ohwell:
I am totally inspired by what you have achieved and I hope to someday share the same "dressing room experience".
I've been a bigger girl all my life and now I finally feel as though that will change.
And I feel that it is all because of finding MFP. I feel so blessed.
Thank you for sharing your incredible story!!

Good luck, God bless, and never give up!

I remember that feeling when i didn't believe this could be true and tried another couple pairs on just to be sure. I have found that i can hit a platue and stop myself from going any further i have a goal of 150 pounds and its because of people like you and my faith in God that I will meet my goals thank you for all that you do for me!!!!

Thank you for sharing your story!

I did cry before I began MFP because I tried on a pair of my size 18 work pants, and I couldn't button them by about 4 inches. I'd been telling myself I wouldn't go over that size no matter what. Today, 12 weeks later, I tried them on, and they fit!

Stories like yours are what have inspired me to keep going when I lost my motivation. And since I kept the automatic Facebook update on, I have accountability as well.

Thanks again!

You go buddy! 34 jeans is a good day. Now it gets expensive, being a preacher I have to have at least one good suit, you know, in case somebody dies. We modern preachers don't wear them things unless we have too. I took my good suit to have it altered and he told me if I lost much more weight he could not make it any smaller. Now, the church gave me this suit for my birthday, I call it my birthday suit, makes people snicker but I don't know why. I told the tailor I was going to loose 10 or 15 more so he took it up all the way. I think it will still fit but anyway, small price to pay if I have to replace it.
