I'm a size what?!?

Thanks everybody! I am wearing my new size 6 pants today and they are really comfortable, not tight in the least. Yay!

And ffwifeagomoll, I did it by exercising and tracking my calories down to the single gummy bear level. I run, lift weights and do yoga. I was a gym rat before I had my son but discovered after her was born that getting both of us to the gym was just a hassle, and then you can only be there as long as daycare is available and baby is content etc. So, I cancelled the gym membership, got a running stroller, and bought a set of adjustable weight dumbbells. I use Chalene Extreme to lift weights at home when I can wake up before my son. I usually run weekend mornings or before dinner if the weather is nice, as far as he's concerned it's equivalent to going for a walk. And I am able to get away to go to a yoga class about once a week (and I discovered Bikram this last year, which has been awesome). That was effect I've on it's own until about a size 10 but then I plateaued a bit. Once I started using MFP religiously the rest melted off. Like I said, I could do another 10 I think, and that includes building more muscle too. As for feeling fit, I feel very fit. In general my body feels pretty strong and I am definitely starting to see some visible muscle tone. But there was no trick, just exercise and keeping track of calories in and calories out. Oh, and when I have a bad day I just remember that everyday is a fresh start. Good luck and if you want to friend me feel free!
