Thought I would share this with my MFP family. :flowerforyou:

I bought this pair of shorts about two months ago. They were on sale and they were so darn pretty, and I wanted them so bad. But they were a size 9, and not a forgiving size 9 either. There was not even the slightest bit of give to the fabric, no “stretch” no elastic. I was about a size 11 at the time. I bought them (along with a matching crop top) and left all the tags on, thinking, by the end of the summer I will fit in to these.

And today, I tried them on, and they fit like a dream. I couldn’t even zipper them (let along button them!) the first time I tried them on. :noway: I cannot believe how far I have come.

I took the tags off, and I’m wearing them for the first time out of the house today.

Anyway. Here they are:

Still in disbelief!

If I can do it, anybody can, really! :tongue:

    Wow! You look fantastic! I have a pair of "7 for All Mankind" jeans that I bought a couple of months ago that I'd like to fit into when I reach my end goal. Looking at those pics is an inspiration to me, because we have similar weight goals...you're just a little farther along than I am. Work those shorts today!! :)

    That's awesome! I did something similar to inspire me. I went to my favorite shop and paid dearly for a fab dress that is one size too small (okay - maybe 2!) The girls at the shop must have thought I was nuts to buy it but when I told them I WILL fit into this dress by New Year's - that got it! It hangs in full view so I see it every day - it's the best excercise motivator and appetite suppressent ever! Keep up the good work and "cheers" to your next "Thinspiration!!!

    Know how you feel.

    I did a little window shoppign yesterday and tried on a size 13 juniors capris and they were a little tight, but I could zip and button them. I figure another 5-8 lbs and they would fit perfect.

    I also can't believe I have lost 34 lbs already. Truth be told I have practically cut out all fast food, with the exception of the occasional crunchy chicke taco from Taco Bell, which is actually better sodium wise than a 6" turkey sandwich from Subway. (I would normally have a 6" turkey with little mustard, american cheese, lettuce, olives, onions, pepper on wheat - total calories is 360 with 1600 mg of sodium) (3 crunchy chicken tacos at Taco Bell 950 mg sodium and 450 calories)

    Good job!
    I have a Banana Republic skirt that has NO stretch at all. Ordered online and decided to return to a local store. Its been sititng by my dresser almost a month. I think I will hang it up in the closet and make it my motivation to get into it by the end of the year! Its two sizes too small so not an unattainable goal :)
