    My winter coat that I bought 2 years ago got more snug as the winter went on and eventually I put it away. I took it out this past weekend and it fits like a glove!!! So glad I don't have to go buy another one. Shopping out of my closet is the best deal in town :)

    That's great. About a month ago I had to go through my closet and spent half the day just trying on clothes and checking sizes. I took two boxes full that were too big to goodwill and put all the rest in order of size so I can shrink down into them - too fun!

    Too funny :)

    We all have the same tendencies to put clothes back into our closets that we don't fit into anymore thinking ....one day I'll get back into them.

    Both of us have proved it can be done.

    I pulled out my winter dress pants to wear today, and they are comfortable, even loose. They were purchased last winter (on-line), and quickly shoved into the back of the closet because they were so tight and uncomfortable!

    Wow guys, great!! I like your 5 min. cut on time around the track bm1409. I use to run and walk until a good year ago when I overdid it planting trees. Too much activity caused my back to hurt too bad. Soon I too will be timing myself. Prob. start with the treadmill, slow! Yesterday I tried on a pair of pants that fit 2 years ago and now fit again! Funny though, I decided I didn't want them anymore because I felt "too old " for them! I also have serious issues with bloating, to the point of looking and feeling about to give birth after eating. This has greatly improved!

    I really love these! Heart2Health I'm going to check on my old winter coat today, it would be lovely not to need to buy a new one! (I was just on the Columbia site, and got sticker shock!)

    These stories really give me hope. My work pants are (can't say were yet) so tight I felt sick. I only have to "dress" for work once a month normally as I work from home 3 out of 4 weeks. I'll be back in my office on Tuesday.... that will be my first test for clothes to hopefully fit a bit better. Only been a week, but my fingers are still crossed!

    My daughter bought me some "fit into" jeans last Christmas that has been hanging in my closet, waiting for me to fit into. Today I pulled them out and I can actually fit into them. I have to admit they dont look great ( can see bulges here and there), but Im hoping by this Christmas they look good enough to wear. I think I may hang them in the kitchen to be a constant reminder of things to come. :smile:
