I went shopping today -- and I am now the proud owner of smaller underwear and size 16 pants.
Size 16 ... holy crap... I started out at a size 22

In October I weighed 248 pounds..... was a size 20
In March I weigh 250 pounds..... size 16 baby!

Guess what ... the scale does NOT run my life!

    Nice! I agree that people fixate too much on the scale when they really should be watching how their body is changing in a variety of ways. Many times, I think that people get discouraged when the scale doesn't move for a few weeks without noticing that other amazing and EVEN BETTER things are happening to their body.

    Congrats!!!

    The smaller jeans feeling is amazing, isn't it. It's nice when you feel the efforts of your hard work. Congrats my dear :flowerforyou:


    I am curious to know how tall you are. I wore a 16/18 my entire adult life until now :D I am 5'4 and was in the 190's at my heaviest weight . I started this journey at 177 lbs.
