First NSV!!

So I started my journey in February of this year to get back to a healthy weight after struggling with it for the past 5 yrs. I am 5'10" and I started at 258lbs (which is my highest weight that I'm aware of). Up until my senior year in high school I was usually around the 175-180lb mark which isn't far from my healthiest weight. So since February I have managed to lose 22lbs just by watching what I eat and working out 5-6 days a week. I am now down to 236lbs but I still have a long way to go! Today while I was cleaning out my closet I cam across some old pairs of jeans that i wore probably about 3 years ago that were a size 16 ( at my heaviest weight I was wearing a size 20!). I tried them on and amazingly THEY FIT!!!!!!

I am sooo excited! I can't wait to keep going and see my body change more and more as time goes on! Just thought I'd share this with you all who may need a little motivation! This definitely makes me want to keep pushing! If I can do this so can YOU!

Good for you! I have certain pair of jeans as well that i am looking to be to skinny to wear! That is the only reason they are around. I would like to wear them without muffin top!

Keep Going you are doing great!

Your starting weight is almost exactly what mine is! I'm 5'11" and my starting weight was 255. At my thinest I was wearing a size 10 and that was only 2 years ago. Now at a 20 I hate everything I wear. I hate to shop and I feel like others are judeging me because of my size. Thanks for the boost in my confidence! I now know this will work!

That's awesome! Congrats - it's definately a good feeling.

I just arranged my closet by size the other day - as I lose weight I'll try on the next "section" of clothes. I'm thinking like every 10-15 lbs lost I'll give it a whirl. I'll either be excited that I have more clothes to wear or determined to get back into them. I'm sure I have at least 20 pairs of pants that DON'T fit me right now. I told myself that it's pointless to buy new clothes when I have all this good stuff in there just collecting dust!
