Fitting into size 2 pants!!!! After being a size 26/28

See the pic? that is me wearing a medium shirt and a size 2 pair of pants... let me try that again... a size 2 pair of pants... the last time I was in old navy, picking up the 4's - I saw these pants in clearance for $10... to my little brain, they didn't look that much smaller than the 4's so on a lark, I bought them - and seriously, if they don't fit? I'm out $10 - I spent more than that on meals, snacks = I couldn't even begin to tell you how much money I spent on pringles and stax... and dip, of course... and I wanted to try them on in the comfort of my home so no one would hear me struggle with them as I occasionally use some colorful language...

So now it is 2 weeks later, and I re stumble upon them and I go... sure I need a laugh this morning, because I am not feeling particularly tiny... and I need a laugh (it has been a long week)

So I attempt to put these pants on... I have a moment of tightness around the shins, but they move up in place (they are skinny jeans overall and I am curvy) ... I have to readjust my stomach flab to get in the pants, and I am pretty sure that is a no go... until it is... I can close the pants -- I do have the stomach overhang bulge which means I am not wearing these pants out of the house yet, but I can move and walk and get my *kitten* (which I still consider big) into a size 2 pair of pants. I also want to mention, these don't stretch, they are regular fitted jeans...

Now this is pretty mind blowing as I was a 26/28 for a very long time... sigh... I was already a size 20 in college and the lowest I ever got down to before stalling out on my past weight loss attempts was a size 16... Now I know that women's sizes most likely have gotten more generous with the expanding populations over the past 20 years but it still is pretty mind blowing when you consider where I started from no matter what adjustments were made to sizing... Seriously, how is it possible to go from a size 26/28 to a size 2????

I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial day weekend and I'm going to go sit in stunned silence while I contemplate this odd turn of events...

    Thank you! I have fought for every pound and inch lost. I'm 296.8 which I haven't been in the 200's in 10 years. I feel pretty amazing!

    As a current size 26/28 I'm blown away by your transformation! I don't know that I'll ever get that small, but you're proof that it's possible.

    Wow! You did shrink quite a bit! You lost quite a bit of extra weight! Good job! Your hard work and perseverance worked! As for the size 2...I haven't worn a size 3 since 3rd grade! It's so funny thinking of a grown women being that small for someone from a very tall family :smile: . Congratulations!

    Can't even imagine your joy!?!? Holy smokes! What an accomplishment! Time to go back to Old Navy and rifle through that bin again. You might be in need of many more size 2s. Congratulations!

    Congratulations! You are very inspiring! I was also once a size 26/28 and have lost 100 pounds and am now a size 10/12, have hit a long-lasting plateau and fear I am stuck here, but you give me hope to keep sticking to my plan. Although the scale has changed in a long time, I have lost several inches off my waist and hips since I increased my running and started doing Kaia Boot Camp. I don't know if I will ever see a size 2, but knowing you have done it reminds me to keep on track and I can still lose the 40 pounds I have left to reach my goal. Keep up the healthy living!
