how much smaller my goal weight/size will be. I've been getting emails about all these fall fashion sales, and I honestly can't buy any clothes because I don't know what size I will be by the time it's cold outside. My leather jacket won't fit. It's a men's 4X. That's HUGE!!!! I am assuming that my goal weight of 170 (at 5'6") will put me at about a pant size 12.... it all depends on the designer, but that's my estimate. My waist, according to some size charts, would be about 31".

I FREAKED!!!!

When I started all of this, I will embarrassedly admit, my waist was 48"..... if it got down to 31... that's 17" just in my waist. I can really do this... 17" sure!!!!

I wonder how much smaller my hips would be!?!?!??!?!??!?!

    I've gone through so many clothes that Ive started buying black stretchy yoga pants from the dollar store LMAO I cant afford to keep buying pants... I found one dollar general that has a ton of the pants i can 'get away with' at work for $3 a pair. Plus, they have an elastic waist, so I can keep taking out elastic until they start to look funny and pleated. It's a damn shame, but TOTALLY worth it!!! I've gone from busting the zippers out of a 26/28 down to an 18 and still going down.

    I have to agree with Joybell! You can do this. You just have to attack it in small chunks instead of thinking about the big picture. Make mini-goals and only focus on your next one, not on the end goal. I'm here with you too. And...my waist started out at about 47 inches so I know exactly where you are coming from.

    Keep up the good work. You can do this! :-)
