I am tickled pink.....can't stop smiling.
The reason: I have lost 24.4 lbs and 11.75 inches, so my all my pants that hang in my closet don't fit me anymore, therefore I had to go shopping.
I was thinking that I'd gone down a size or so, not thinking there would be a real big difference.....thinking perhaps down to a size 10 which I would have been very happy with.
Well, I am tickled pink to say that all the pants that I bought today (all 6 pairs) are a size 8.
I still can't believe it as I was a size 12/14 when I started this whole process and now, here I am. I kept having to look at the tag to make sure they said size 8 on the label; still can't believe it. Not that it matters what the label says as no one will ever see it, but I will know and that 's the best feeling in the world.

    That exact same thing happened to me! I know how awesome it feels not just to go down in size, but getting down TWO unexpectedly and getting into the one digits!

    Congratulations! Well done! :)
