I haven't seen the scale move in either direction in over a week...BUT

I'm sitting here in a pair of 16w's (from 18/18w's I've been wearing all year) that I haven't been able to button up AT ALL in over a year :love: :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: :love:

BUT...

I've got a super muffin top that looks like, ummmm...I've got a ways to go!
:ohwell: :laugh: :laugh: :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :happy:

PLEASE add one of your success...BUT stories!

    shrinking is shrinking - I have my goal pants that I actually managed to pull up all the way last week - ( forget buttoning them - that is not happened for a while - but at least I got them up over my *kitten* ! )

    I bought the first single digit pants since sophomore year of high school (I'm 26 now). Little bit of a muffin top, but they zip and button.

    I'm so excited to be almost back into single digits. Woohoo. Another 15 lbs and I should be in 8s for real.

    I've got a pair of board shorts that I bought years ago and was never able to fit into. I could not bring myself to ever get rid of them because I love them so much. As of this week, I can now get them on (in December they wouldn't go past my thighs) and get them completely fastened. BUT it's not pretty and it will be a LONG time before I will be able to wear them anywhere other than in front of my mirror.

    :laugh: I've got another one...

    One of my favorite stores was having a special triple points day--so I went in and got a whole BUNCH of stuff--spending way more than I normally would have, because of the triple points and the GREAT deals, just knowing that I may have to return some of the items and thus not spending as much as I got (lots of work-out stuff and clothes and stuff), just knowing some of the things would be too small, too tight, too yucky looking too UGHish...because I didn't try on one of the items on.

    Success? EVERYTHING fit or almost fit and it ALL looked and feels tremendous on me...only a couple of things didn't fit perfectly, but so cute and so close that I don't dare return them, because they're gorgeous--a shocking success!

    BUT????

    I spent way more than I wanted to, because the sales person admonished me that if anything doesn't look or feel great, bring it back (I was figuring/counting on having to return half or more of the items, thinking they wouldn't look right...the only things I'm going to be bringing back cost less than 10 bucks each...:noway: :indifferent: :noway: So, I'm going to keep 99% of it and am will be putting in more "sweat equity" for these deals than I originally planned. :drinker: :love: :grumble: :love: :drinker:
