Hey all,

so I started my new job today and was like "yeah I need at least a large," they came out with a small and i just looked at them like they were crazy...
so i tried it on, thinking how awkward it would be to say that i need a larger size.... IT FIT! A SMALL SHIRT FITS and is actually kinda big! Considering I was a size XXL/18-20 not too long ago, that's awesome!!
But considering I still have so much more to lose what size am I gonna end up in? Like a 4 or something? LOL :)

Woohoo so happy :)

    That's awesome! Very encouraging, but a 12 kg loss is even better 'cos clothing sizes do vary so much.

    Keep up the great work!

    True but I decided to go clothes shopping after work and tried on all Small shirts and they fit :D

    I don't get it though, 15 kilos lighter than this... back when I did no exercise and ate crap I was at least a Large.. :S

    that's true for me too - I am a really comfy US 12 right now at 180 (actually 177 as of yesterday, yeah!) but back at 145 which was over THIRTY pounds lighter I was squeezing into a size 8. I've decided its 2 things, one is that working out dramatically changes the shape of your body and the other is that having been really overweight dramatically changes the shape of your body. My lower thighs are incredibly lean now (not the upper ones) but I'm struggling with my belly and a bit of torso fat still and if you'd asked me 5 years ago I would have told you I never hold much weight on my top half.
