Okay I am not all the way there, but Today I bought 4 new blouses! Size 12!! I know, not a size 4 but that will never happen. I started out size 18 on the top, 14 on the bottom! Now size 12 on top, 11 pushing for a 9 on the bottom! Good bye Torrid! Good bye Lane Bryant, Good bye Roaman's catalog! Good bye Plus size shopping, goodbye crying in the dressing room! 22 pounds down, 11 to go! I can smell it! I almost bought the 10's but was afraid of shrinkage. Organic cotton is not as predictable! Gosh that feels so good!!!

    Wow! Those 22 pounds made a huge difference for you!

    That's great!
    My 22 pounds only sent me 2 sizes down. :ohwell: Not complaining .....
    but when I see a 12 in my clothes hamper, you'll hear me screaming all over!!!!!!

    Truth be known I stood in the dressing room staring at the mirror, and not believing my own eyes! I thought the clothing was mis-marked, I tried 4 of the same thing, to be sure. It was a OMG moment! I have not lost all my weight to goal yet but the things firming up sure made a huge difference! Thank you all for the nice messages! I have gone back to my closet to look at my new blouses twice. I feel like a kid who just bought the perfect Prom dress! Such a nice feeling for an old lady! I love this website and Mike for creating it! I can do this, now I believe it. I know I can!

    Special thanks to my loving daughter Luckyleprichaun for bringing me here, with a smile and no judgment! I love you so much for this gift!

    Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! I know how you feel about not buying the plus sizes. After I got to that point, I would walk by the plus sizes and smile and think to myself, I don't wear that size anymore. Such a great feeling. :happy: Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I tell everyone, even the haters who say things like when are you going to quit! and how skinny do you want to be. I did it with My Fitness Pal . com I know they want to know but are too embarrassed to ask.

    I love this site. We should all nominate him for the Doctor Phil show or something!

    I agree!
    This site has changed my whole outlook on life.
    Hubby & I are making changes we never dreamed of before.
    We're going away for our anniversary & instead of picking someplace to go & look at the scenery & eat, & drink, we're going hiking!
    :bigsmile:
    Not camping, mind you. :noway:
    But to the mountains where it's cooler & we can walk & get off the highway & explore a little.
    That never would have happened before I found MFP.
    What a change in attitude toward being active.
    Thanks Mike!

    Okay I did it, I went to dr. phil.com and told them about Mike, maybe if everyone does it mike will get the credit he deserves!
