    What a wonderful story! Go you and well done. It's those kind of momentus days that keep us going and it reminds us of why we are doing this journey.

    I did this with skinny jeans at the start of this year. I tried them on thinking 'these will never look right on me'. They were fab and I should have been wearing them years ago and esp since I started to lose weight. I was jumping up and down in the shop, dying to tell someone.

    Keep up the good work.

    That is so awesome.. I have the same exact thing happening right now.. I wore 20's which should have been 22's but could not bring myself to buy them.. That was in MAY .. This morning I tried on a pair of 14's they were a little tight but I could zip them button them and they were on.. YAY for us.. This is great !! Congrats

    yeah, I am picking up a pair of 14s tomorrow too! Perhaps even 12s for later this fall!

    I did the exact same thing at Sears, going from a snug 22 to a 16 from Jan till Apr, and now I can put them on w/o unzipping them......i's been at least 15 years since I wore 16's without the W for plus size...I guess I'll have to hit the thrift stores too, until I reach my goal...Congrats!

    Wow what a lovely story! Nothing you could eat would feel anywhere near that good (with apologies to Kate Moss!) Well done you!! xx

    OMG - this is so true! Because it'll last longer than the quick gradification of food, right? LOL - Way to go - nice NSV moment!! I completely understand as I just had a similar moment myself, trying on some size 10 jeans my friend gave me to get me thru the next size... coming from pushing size 16, it was huge when I got those on!! Don't ya just wanna jump up and down and tell everybody, ha ha!! Fabulous job - keep up the hard work!!

    I walked to the nail salon today and my tech didn't even recognize me at first! Then I walked halfway home and actually RAN .75 miles without stopping the rest of the way home. My neighbor lady laughed at me yelling "OMG I did it!!!!" in my driveway

    I woke my 20 year old son up last night to take the picture. He said are those 16s? You are actually doing it this time aren't you? I will take that as a compliment!?!?!?!

    I am overwhelmed at the support from this site! Thank you for your kind words...ya'll rock!
