This morning i had to ask the lady at our front desk if she had a box cutter? She looks at me and ask"Kyunda why do you need a box cutter...you dont have any packages"? I smile a say i have to make a new hole in my belt! My pants are WAY TOO BIGG!!!

I had to make the hole about 3 inches away from the last hole! It felt GREAT! YEAAAAA MEEE!!!!! I haven't been shopping since i started losing weight so i dont really know what my new size is. But i have on a size 16 pants and they are folded in the waist and held together with my belt with the new hole. So i'm thinking im probable down to 12/14! Goal size is 11/12(10 would be AWESOME!)

Thanks for letting me share!

    You are awesome! Go get some new clothes--you deserve it!! At least get one pair of pants, and then if you out grow THOSE, get some more!

    Wayt to go!!!! I am in the same boat. Size 16 pants that would fall down if I didn't wear a belt. I don't know if I want to buy new pants yet, since I am still losing weight. Keep up the good work.
  • That's fantastic!!

    congrats!! That is definitely something to be proud of!

    Tip from someone who went from a tight 20 to an 11/12 (and still shrinking!):

    Wearing the right size clothes makes you feel so much better and a lot sexier. You will want to go to the gym if you feel good about how you look. Even though I am a size 11/12, when I wear my 14 jeans I look and feel bigger. I tend to want to eat more and feel like it is ok because my pants don't fit. Also I get negative compliments...my best friend told me it looked like I *kitten* my pants. lol...It didn't make me feel good. I felt worse because I can't afford new jeans.

    Shop at thrift stores. Don't purchase new new clothes because you will be needing to get rid of those in a few months anyway. You DESERVE to look as great as you have worked for.

    Keep it up!!!
  • Get it girl!!!
  • Good for you, girl! That is so wonderful! I'm sure you feel like the rock star that you are :)
