So yesterday, my boss approached me with the comment, "Girl, if you don't quit losing weight, you're going to have to buy some new work clothes.Those pants are about to fall right off!" Well, this excited me and I took off to the bathroom to have a look at my pants....my size 14's were so satisfyingly loose, I decided to take a picture! (Has anyone tried to take a picture of their own butt before? I assure you, it is no easy task!) This morning, I was rummaging through my closet, trying to find something to wear and low and behold...yep...HOT DANG! There is an old pair of size 12 slacks that I wore in...HIGH SCHOOL!!!! Did I dare try them on? Ya darn right I did and they slid on with ease!!! I took a picture after a happy dance complete with multiple fist pumps. (please pardon the poor picture quality and my bathroom, it is in the process of being painted lol) Just thought I'd share! Have a great day everyone!

    I have been sticking to MFP and doing a rotation of Jillian Micheal's workout dvds. I really love them! My weight has been coming off super slow because I didn't have very much to lose and now I'm focusing more on toning.

    Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I pull off a size 12 because I'm really tall. I'm really not tiny at all, 6'4" and 184 lbs currently lol.

    Thank you! It's so hard for me to compare sizes with other ladies because I'm so tall. A size 12 definitely looks different on someone my height (6'4"). My goal is a size 10.

    Yay! More tall ladies! I'm 5'9'' so not nearly as respectable as your height but still on the taller end. It is hard to compare weight with those that are like 5'5'' as their "healthy" weight is borderline anorexic for us! Thank you for the inspiration! I love telling people my weight and they drop their jaw because they are always like, "NO way! How can you be that much?" and I always say, "Tall people can get away with it!" lol

    I am thinking the same thing, no way you are a 12. I'm a 14-16 and I'm 3 times your size. I'd peg you at a size 4/6. Congrats though!!

    Thank God you are tall - I was looking at how skinny you are and thinking - that's a twelve?!? I'll never be that thin. I'm doomed forever to be at least a fourteen. :ohwell: You look GREAT!!! Thanks for sharing.

    Wow! Now this is why I love MFP! All of you are so wonderful and make me feel so good! Thank you so much for all of the sweet comments....I hope it's motivating for all of you because I know it sure does help me! I'm a total success story thread junkie...everyone keep up your hard work. My weight has been coming off very slowly but I'm finally almost to my goal and it feels good to know that all of the counting calories and hard work are finally paying off. Much love to all of you!!:heart:
