This may seem small, but with 160 total pounds to lose, I have to focus on small wins.

I went shopping today and grabbed some clothes to try on. I started my journey 3 1/2 months ago wearing a 2x/24W. About a month ago I was able to start wearing 22W bottoms and a 1x top. So, today I grabbed those sizes and tried them on. The shorts were big and I could get the 20Ws on; they were just a little tight. Imagine my surprise when I put on the shirts and was SWIMMING in them! I had grabbed one 0x to try, on a whim, and it fit me great, if not a little big. So, you all know what I had to do next, right? I wandered over to the "normal sizes" and grabbed a few XL shirts to try on. Several of them fit perfectly! The ones that were cut a little smaller were snug, but they didn't look that bad. I'm not going to lie, I cried. It's been two years since I was able to wear a non plus size shirt. I'm down 32 pounds and 40 inches so far and I can't wait to see how these next pounds and inches change my body!

    Awesome feeling! For me, once i finally lost a size, it started going faster. I made the mistake of buying several size xl work scrubs, and i outgrew them in like a month and a half. Thursday, i wore a size large top & bottom to work!!!

    Enjoy this feeling! You did it! And you'll have several more nsvs to look forward to. Great job!!!
