I wanted to share my favorite non-scale victory with you all.

I have been overweight since I was 10 years old. My mother used to take me shopping for jeans in the boy's department because the girl's clothes wouldn't fit me. When I entered high school, I was a women's size 16. I have been yo-yo dieting ever since.

I joined MFP on February 1st, 2012 at 150lbs and a (US) Size 12.

Today, my husband took me dress shopping at Banana Republic and for the first time in my entire adult life, I fit into a size 4!
I bought 3 of them because I was so excited. Thank you to all who have been so supportive!

    YEA!!! I did the exact same thing this wekend. Shop had a dress I loved, but only in a 4. I wasn't even going to try it on, but sales lady convinced me and it fit (not even snug). Bought 2 dresses there, went to a different shop because I figured their sizes were just generous, but nope bought another dress Small Petite (2-4), a pair of capris (P4) and a top. I've been dancing around all weekend. MFP ROCKS!!!
