I started this journey in July but didn't go strong on it until the end of July. Until my weigh in tomorrow I'm at about a 14 lb weight loss. At the beginning of the school year I bought a few new clothes. I found some of my old "fat" pants in a size 18 and though they were just a little loose I pulled them out because I could wear them with a belt.

I tried on 2 of them today and there is easily 3 inches between the pants and my body!!! I couldn't wear it even with a belt without looking silly. So that convinces me that I'm fully in a size 16 and quickly heading for some 14s. I would love to be close to a 12 by Christmas!!!

    You might even be a 14 now. I started at an 18, too and I was getting rid of clothes and pulled out some jeans from my too small drawer and they were a 14 and fit. Not a fluke because I bought some dress pants and a skirt in a 14. It's hard to know when to count my weight loss from because I was in an 18 even up and down 20lbs, then lost 17lbs below that. If there is 3 inches, you very well could be there especially if you are working out. I know I'm much tighter and losing more size than lbs though I have to keep track of inches better.

    I don't think I'm quite there yet. I carry a lot of my weight in my stomach and it's a lot bigger and more skin due to my 2 beautiful children who destroyed my stomach!!! hehe. I do need to find some of my normal 14s and try. I tried on one and it's pretty tight still but I would rather be a loose 16 than a tight 14!!!

    Right on! I hope I'm headed in the same direction. My 16w jeans are getting loose, but regular 16 jeans are still way too tight around the belly, thanks to twin skin and all the post-partum shifting. Does that ever go away? I'll be so annoyed if I keep losing weight but have to wear Ws because of the southern migration! I think I have to do more ab work. Guess I'll be giving 30DS a more committed attempt!
