HI. I am a 32 year old mom of 2 who is finally ready to take me time and make myself feel better! I actually started in January counting calories. Then in Feb I decided to join a gym and that has made a HUGE difference. I started at 155. I am now 131. I have about 10-15 more lbs to lose. I am at the feeling awkward time bc my clothes are still fitting the same. I mean 23 lbs down and i can still wear the same jeans, now they feel different but I guess I wanted drastic changes with that kind of weight loss. I have noticed all my shirts being too big but i am still self conscious of my stomach and arm flab so i wont where tight fitting shirts. I am feeling a lot better than I was, I haven't had my pic taken since I started losing weight so I am anxious to compare. I hated having my pictures taken before. I have started noticing more people are complimenting my on my weight here recently. I know I should be patient but I am getting excited to get new clothes :) When did you notice the big change in sizes etc? I am really focusing on my arms and stomach. I run on the treadmill as well.

    I'm 5'7 and I've gone from a 155 to a much more toned 138 with 8 lbs til goal. (been doing 30 DS) My size 12 jeans still fit just fine, and I can also fit well enough into the 10s from the back of the closet. For most shirts, larges are too big, but mediums are too small. I'm hoping that the last few pounds will put me in a solid 8 jean and medium shirt. It's frustrating being between sizes!

    It is very frustrating lol. I am 5'1 to add lol so I all ready hate clothes bc I cant find them short enough. I wear a 10 jean right now but today i put on 6 shorts and they fit. Go figure. I dont know if its my legs or what. I def have a bubble butt lol so that may play a roll. I will be glad though when I can change and never go back to the current jeans I have.
