    That is awesome! I've done low carb in the past and was successful. Just wondering did incorporate fruit at all?

    Once in awhile I'll eat strawberries or blueberries, but not very often. Once I get to goal weight I'll probably eat berries a little more often, but fruit is pretty high in carb and natural sugar

    I went to Kmart and tried on a pair of jeans curious on what size I was. I fit into a size 8. I was able to get a size 6 bottoned and zipped, but I'm definitely not a 6. I was so excited and shocked to fit into a size 8. I didn't like any of the jeans they had at Kmart so went to Kohl's and tried on a few there all size 8 and brought my first pair of size 8 home since highschool.

    Wow congratulations!!!

    I was a 24 last month and now I'm a 22...I would be happy to be an 18 just so I won't be in the 20's anymore.

    Wow thats inspiring! Must be an awesome feeling and you should be incredibly proud! Question: did you notice that the sizes went faster towards the end of your weight loss? I ask because I started at a size 20-22, and ive lost 33lbs so far and finalllly went down to a size 18. Just hoping theyll go down a little quicker now maybe. Anyways, best of luck to you and Congratulations!!!

    They go down much quicker after size 16 or 18. I actually didn't even lose much weight on the scale when I went from my size 11 pants to the size 8. Maybe 5 pounds at most. It took about 20 pounds to go down in size from the higher sizes. I really wasn't expecting to get a size 8 on at all I was just curious on how close I was when I tried them on and to my surprise they fit. So then I tried a 6 out of curiousity and they zipped and buttoned but definitely did not fit so I'm guessing within the next 10 pounds I'll be in the 6

    That is interesting and good to know! I'm in 18s now - sometimes 20 depending on the pants. I can get size 16 slacks on but not buttoned and definitely not something I can sit in. LOL The smallest I remember being in recent times was 16 jeans, I think - but I wasn't working out then. I would love to be in 14s by the end of summer!

    GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
