I got these jeans from a friend of mine this past May, going by size...they should've fit. WAY to small. Couldn't even pull them up over my butt. I started this journey in August. So far I've lost 22lbs and several inches from my waist and hips. About a month or two ago, I started to be able to wear these jeans, but I couldn't button the inside button and HAD to wear a sweatshirt because my stomach hung over too far. (They're the kind that have the button inside, and then two buttons on the outside(don't know if that makes sense)

I put them on today, and just for the heck of it, decided to wear a tank top and a tight zip up...just to see what it looked like. OMFG I am so stinking excited to say...I look good!

    This is a HUGE success! Do not belittle the amazing moment with the word small (in quotes no less). SHOUT THIS FROM THE ROOF TOPS!

    Amazing job :)

    I know it's more than a small success, but in the grand scheme of my weight loss journey, it's one step. And when I say "small" I mean it's small compared to the weight I still need to lose, BUT it is a big accomplishment for me to be able to wear smaller jeans than to have to go out and buy bigger ones.
