I just did some back to school clothes shopping (I'm a teacher.) and comfortably fit into a size 6 pants. It's an amazing feeling. The last time I fit into anything even remotely close to a size 6 was elementary school.

SW: 265
Pant size: 24
Shirt size 3x

CW: 149
Pant size: 6
Shirt size: S or M

    Fantastic! I have a long, long way to go so I like to see these posts to keep me motivated. LOL, I think about if I ever make it to single-digit size that I haven't been there since I was a child, either.

    That's amazing. Congratulations. The last time I wore a size 9 was in High School. Hoping to reach size 9 again though I have a long way to go.

    Just FYI you may want to aim for an 8 or a 10- 9 is a juniors size (3,5,7,9 etc are juniors, 2,4,6,8 etc are women's). Juniors sizes aren't really cut to fit an adult woman's body. Assuming you live somewhere where that applies. Either way, good luck and congrats to the O.P.!
