Well last summer I had lost about 20 pounds from my heaviest point and I had this pair of shorts from Old navy that were size 10 and too tight to wear. I could get them on, but it was not a pretty sight. So this morning instead of weighing I pulled them out and tried them on...they FELL off, literally. I was dancing around my room! So overall in about a years time I have lost a total of 42 pounds and I don't know how many inches. I am so glad that I decided to try those little shorts on today b/c it made my day!:smile:

    Thanks for all the "YAYS". I tried on some jeans today while out and about. They were on sale and a size 8. I started to put them back figuring they wouldn't fit but said what the heck...tried them on and they were a little big!! Did some more happy dancing! So this was great motivation b/c I am going away with the girls for the weekend! Sometimes those weekends away can be difficult to stay on track so hopefully this will help me do so!!
