    Oh, I know that feeling! I went shopping this weekend for a new swimsuit. Even though I've lost 33 lbs. I didn't really think I looked that good and I didn't fit into the size I thought I would. It was discouraging.

    Don't give up yet - I won't either!

    Listen sister...have you picked up a 7 lb dumbell? It's a good amount of weight! Focus on the positive and use that old navy experience as your motivation! I started last summer at a size 22 and now I JUST was able to buy some 16's after 45ish lbs lost. But I still have at least 25 more to lose...so I just remember where I've been, where I want to be and that where I am now is just a stop along the way! Hang in there! Counting calories is a huge helper on here ( just saying in case you didn't already ) Also, make sure you are eating every few hours..even if it's a few baby carrots or something small and drink a lot of water :O)

    stay positive it doesn't matter how much weight I have lost or how much running I do, the cut and style of old navy clothes will never fit me. Stay on the look out for the clothing brands that will suit your body shape.

    7 Lbs is an awesome loss, be happy about that!

    Old Navy has no idea what size is what. I had 3 pairs of the SAME type of jean. I tried on the 10s, didn't fit, I couldn't even pull them past my thighs. I was so distraught. So I tried on the 12s (my size). They barely fit. I was so confused! This is my regular size, why don't they fit? I've lost weight! So for some reason, I tried on the 8s. I could slide them on WHILE BUTTONED all the way up. They were way, WAY too big. Overall, Old Navy is ridiculous about sizes. They just toss a totally random number on there.

    Eat your exercise calories! Your body needs nourishment to continue living. It needs extra if you are going to work harder by doing exercises!

    As for burning 500-1000 calories... that amazes me. I've never seen that happen to me. If I jog for an hour I might hit 500 calories. Usually I work out and burn 200 or so. If I have enough energy, I'll work out again and burn another 150 or so. You sound like you are doing great with your workouts! :smile:

    I would not worry about the sizing so much as how you feel. Who cares what size the tag says. The only time in my life that I could fit into a sizes 8 pants was when I was 115 lbs & anorexic. It was many years ago. I don't have those issues any more, but I know I will never fit into that size pants again. I don't feel like not eating and having my hip bones protruding out of my body just to fit into a smaller size thanks. Size does not mater at all. Just buy cloths that fit you.
