:bigsmile: I'm floating on cloud nine right now. I went shopping yesterday and a sales clerk asked if she could help me find a size in the shorts I was looking at. I told her, "I'm not 100% sure what size I need... maybe an 8?" She looked me up and down and said, "I don't think you're an 8" [I contemplated hitting her while she was bent over with her back to me digging through the pile of shorts] Then she stood up and said, "Here's a 6 and a 4 just in case the 6 is too big". I felt guilty for my initial thoughts and I nearly hugged her. Turns out the 6 fit perfect. Holy **** I'm a size 6.

THEN when I went home I thought... if I just bought 2 pairs of size 6 shorts maybe I can fit into my skinny jeans again. And after a few squats I can breath in them (haha). My profile picture is my victory dance... also wearing my new (size small!!) tank top.

Life is good.

    Super Job!!!! I looked at your menu and see that you eat back your calories burned and that you eat all foods, not just celery and carrots. Keep it up!!!!!

    Congratulations! I'm guilty of always wearing a size too big for comfort, and assuming a smaller size will be too tight!
    I miss my skinnies!! I'm really jealous of you now!! Well done though :)
