Today I weighed in 20 pounds lighter than when I started in October! :happy: I haven't seen this number on the scale since 4 years ago!!! And yesterday, the "If every day were like today, you'd weigh __ in 5 weeks" tool showed me a number I haven't seen in 8 years! This is amazing!!

The best part, by far, is that for the first time in a long time, I will have to buy new clothes because everything is getting too BIG on me! My works pants are all baggy now, and the ones that don't have belt loops are falling down. :blushing: Gotta put those ones away for good. Some of my belts don't even have enough holes to get tight enough around my waist. :noway:

This feels so good! Just wanted to pass on the positivity!! :flowerforyou:

    Those big clothes, don't PUT away...GIVE away. You're not going to need them anymore and don't want them hanging around for comfort. Enjoy your shopping spree.

    I know the feeling! After loosing my first 25-35 pds during the summer of 2008, (while wearing mostly casual capri and sun dresses), when it turned cool and I went to put on a long pair of pants, they literally dropped to my knees! ! ! By November everything was 4-5 sizes to big! I immediately went shopping...WARNING...Since then I have continued to lose and am having to have the clothes I brought at the end of last year altered. Plus my shoe size went down a whole size. If there was ever an upside down to loosing weight....the replacement cost ($$$$$) is a LOVE - HATE relationship!

    Keep up the good work! Don't let nothing stop you from reaching your goal!

    Way to go!!! I have been putting my old clothes on Freecycle. It's a yahoo groupd designed to keep stuff out of landfills. Members give stuff away and request items they need. You may even score some new clothes if you check it out!

    I have the same love hate relationship going! It's hard when you have nothing to wear, I feel that all I've done is replace clothes. Some of my replacements no longer fit and it does get pricey.

    I had an entire closet of size 16's that I collected over a lot of years. I hung onto them for a while and decided they needed to be out of the house, I gave them away. I'm now wearing 10's and some of them are loose around the waist. 8's are my goal and 6's would be a dream.....

    Thanks soooo much everyone for all the comments!! :flowerforyou:
    Based on your advice, I'll weed through my closet (oooh that's scary, are you sure?), and won't spend all my money on the next size down because hopefully there will be more to come! :wink:

    Have a great night. :smile:

    Awesome job!!! It feels so good, doesn't it?! I wore a pair of jeans today that haven't come out of my dresser in a YEAR!!! I couldn't believe it when they slid over my hips without a problem, and I could button them without having to try... Treat yourself to an outfit, so you have something to compare your sizes to later!!!
