    I totally get what your saying... I have been struggling to lose the weight from my second daughter and she will be 4 next month. I have lost some weight them gained it back I finally went and talked to my doctor about my concerns and what i have been doing to try to lose the weight. We agreed upon a prescription and I have been on it now for almost 3 weeks and have lost 8.7lbs with the help of it. I haven't felt so confident that iwill lose the weight and be finally be happy about myself since starting this pill. I now feel that I am on my way. It will take time but you will get there :)

    I started on November 8, 2010 at 289 pounds and just BARELY squeezing into a size 26/28. Today I fit comfortably in a size 12 (but unfortunately wearing 14's until I get to Goodwill - a wonderful friend for weight loss).

    In July of this year I was 256 and wearing a size 20. I'm now 198 and wearing a size 14 which are getting a bit loose. My first major goal (where I'll reevaluate at that time) is 180. Hope to be a 10/12 by then in regular jeans. Would be really cool if I could get into a pair of 8s... don't think I've ever worn a size 8. I'm also 5'9" for reference. And yes... love shopping at the 2nd hand stores... I can't afford to buy new pants all the time! Each size is only lasting me about a month right now!

    My story is sooo much like everyone's here!! I started at 270 in a size 24 and now I am 202 between a 16 and 18. I can wear a 16 but I don't like my clothes tight! I would love to see a size 10 and an 8 would be even better!! I've set my first goal at 180 and will re evaluate once I get there. Please feel free to add me as a friend as I would love to have more! Good Luck everyone! Oh and I don't think I was ever a size 8 or 10. I remember wearing 16's in middle school!

    I started 6 months ago in a size 26 and am now down to a size 14 so it's possible.

    I was a 16/18 when I started. Not sure what size I am now (my 16/18s are falling off me!). Went from an XL t-shirt to a M. Not buying any new clothes until I reach goal weight. My goal is a 6/8 (just knock off the ones--lol). Very similar to your goal!

    Hang in there...we can do this!

    i've recently bought my first pair of size 18. have been a size 16 for years. must say they are more comfortable. However, my goal is a size 10/12. re-started yesterday.

    I started in a 28 (I can't even believe that sometimes, and they where SNUG!) and I am now a 12. I have 25 lbs to go until goal and I am hoping that will put me in an 8/10 (although I would prefer a solid 8, I have NEVER worn a single digit clothing size LOL).

    You can do it!! I started my journey January 2010, wearing a 16-18. Last week I bought a size 6!! It hasn't happened quickly, but it has happened. If a 43 year old mother of two teenagers can do it, anyone can!!

    I want to join too :) i started here a year ago at a size 20, got down to a 16, fell off the wagon for about 9 months (moving, new job etc) and then i have just recently gotten back on the wagon.

    so i do believe that we can all do this together!! I look forward to sharing and seeing success stories on here soon :)

    I've been a size 18 for almost 10years, even with a weight gain of almost 40lbs! How is that possible? Anywho, a size 8/10 would be nice. No more shopping in 'specialty stores"! I'm down 12lbs with plenty to go i'm sure!
