Today I tried some Jeans on because I am so sick of not having anything that fits me right now.....but workout clothes. WELL I am so glad because I can wear 18's!!!!! I have lost 43 pounds and 12.5 inches.....but I never thought that it would make me change that much in clothes! I am so happy and amazed by this! Is anyone else finding that this is happening to them....I mean 24 to and 18 is huge! :)

    That is awesome!!! I started with my highest as a 24, and now I'm down to an 18 as well. It's an AWESOME feeling, I agree!!

    I keep thinking about a size 16, which I haven't been at since high school!

    That's so GREAT!!! Good for you! I also keep thinking about the size 16 jeans hanging in my closet! I have not put them on since I had my three year old....so its been a while.....and when i think about it that way ....I wonder how in the world I got to a 24 in that short amount of time! Its for sure not just pregnancy!

    Thanks for the inspiration! I'm a 24 now, and just started MFP. I can't wait to dig out those size 18 from storage!!! Great job and keep it up! :smile:

    43 pounds is a fantastic loss. I'm too afraid to try on smaller jeans right now, so I'm using a jacket that never fit me (but does now - snugly though) as a measure of my progress. Congratulations. :drinker:

    Awesome job! I remember how awesome that felt--my first time shopping for new clothes after I started was when I made that same size transition as well :). At that point a belt just won't cut it!

    Way to go! That is the best feeling in the world. I started out in a tight 24 and just bought pair of size 16 dress pants from Lane Bryant today. Can't wait to be able to shop in a non plus size store.
