Just this morning I dug my old and forgotten size 34 jeans from the back of the closet. I was wearing size 38 back in the beginning of August. Getting into 34 for the past 4-5 years was impossible. So I thought, since I lost 15lbs, lets give it a try!
Well what do you know! They fit comfortably enough to make it through the day without feeling like I'm going to pop a button!
I'm so happy of that small progress I had to share. Almost a third towards my goal and feeling strong!
Happy Monday everyone.

    Congratulations! It's a great feeling.

    I started at a size 40 back in January 2013 and gradually worked my way down through the size 38 and 36 trousers that I still had in the closet. After that, I had to start buying new ones.

    I did discover that men's trouser sizes have been hit by the vanity sizing that has long plagued women's clothing. The size 32 jeans I bought from Old Navy are really 35 inches at the waist! And the size 32 Perry Ellis dress slacks from Macy's are more like 33.25.
