I started this MFP journey when my size 22 jeans became too tight to be comfortable and I had to buy a pair of 24's.

I have a pair of skinny fit size 20's. I had appointed them as my first goal. The goal after those will be a pair of bootcut 18's I loved.

This morning bleary eyed I thought I would see whether I was any closer to getting into my 20's jeans since when I last tried them I could barely get them past my thighs let alone get the button to reach.
I pulled them on, over my thighs, just about did the button up..ok ok I had to breathe in.. I was kind of disappointed really. I mean yeah I could do them up but I probably wouldn't be able to bend. Then I looked in the mirror and noticed they were the wrong shape....

... turns out I can do up the button on my 18's, I had reached for them instead :D:D

I cannot even put into words how awesome it feels to have done that. Yeah I won't be wearing them out due to the hefty muffin top but its cool. This is working!!!

    Amazing! It is an NSV if it makes you feel good, if you have accomplished anything beyond what the scale tells you. Keep up the good work!
