Down a Size +

So, for the past month been wearing the same size clothing and have noticed most fitting better to loosely. Added a belt to those getting loose. Today decided to try on a pair of jeans that I couldn't get anywhere near fastening for the past 2 years. They fit loosely! Tried another pair a size smaller, not quite there, but it feels great to go from a tight fitting 24 (US) to a loose fitting 22.

Also, 3 days ago I ordered motivational shorts - couple of size 18 and 3 16s for summertime - goal is to fit into them and I won't be mad if they are too big!

    I did the same thing, I bought 'motivational' size 18! Problem is they are 'Just My Size' brand so they have a bit of stretch to them and I can already wear them. Now I have to get a pair that don't stretch as my goal jeans.

    Awesome job, I love when clothes make me feel good, instead of vice versa! Keep it up! :)

    Yay for you!!!! I tried on some jeans a couple of weeks ago that I had bought and didn't ever lose enough where I could fit into them. They fit now!! I think is it almost better to "discover" clothes you already own than buy new ones (for me anyway).

    Way to go! What a way to really feel the weight coming off. Last night I tried on a pair of jeans that were a 20 instead of my normal 22 and the 20's were loose too. :) Keep up the great work.

    Yep, my favorite kind of "shopping" too - leaves more money for cute clothes for my girls and more good for us foods :happy:
