Several months ago, my size 12's were fitting super snug. It was getting to the point where I really needed to make a decision. Either head to the store and buy some size 14's, or get my butt into gear and get fit! I chose the latter.
Here I am, 5 months later, 22 pounds down and in need of shopping. Instead of size 14's, I got to buy size 8's. I seriously don't recall the last time I was able to buy this size. The funny thing is, I still have about 10 pounds or so from where I want to be, so it's possible I could go down another size by the time it's all said and done.
Thanks for letting me share my success!

I have been consistently working out 5-6 times per week for the last 5 months. I
