So...this is my first success post and I am SO excited!!! I had to go shopping today for new workout wear....for a couple of reasons:

1. I have never really had good workout wear before and now wear it 6 days a week :laugh:
2. Every time I do jumping jacks my once tight yoga pants now fall down....:blushing: My hubby thinks its funny...me, not so much!

So went shopping with my twin girls (they are 8). Tried on a bunch of XL's because that is always where I start.....after a while of down sizing everything I picked out to try on I found a fit. The sports bra and yoga pant is a MEDIUM!! the tag actually says (and believe me I checked it 3 times!) "M/M (12)" YAY!! WHOOT WHOOT!!! :drinker: When I tried them on my girls both looked at me and in surround sound said "Mommy....you are SO SKINNY!!" lol :flowerforyou: I still have a ways to go, but damn this feels good!

I LOVE this site!! It has changed my life :bigsmile:

    This is awesome! Good for you! I was an 18 before I started this site and lost a lot on my own but this site has helped me keep going tremendously! I am hoping soon to get into that 12 as well. I am in a 14 right now but, they are a bit loose but, can't quite get into a 12-hate that in between phase. Where you are right now is my pre-preg and can't wait to get there. I gained 72 lbs. with my baby girl. I have lost 63 of it and can't wait to be where you are - so excited for you and you just made me that much more excited because I will be right there with you soon! Keep up the awesome work!!!! Congrats! :flowerforyou:

    That is fantastic and great!!!

    I was stoked when I went from XL and 16/18 to L and 12/14, which is where I am now. Can't wait until I am in a Medium either...........

    And I am going to do back handsprings when I get to S and XS again!!! Haven't been there in about 12 years.
