Ok, I went shopping for new jeans today.... and to my surprise.... I am now a

(DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!)

SIZE 4!!!

I have not been trying to lose weight. I have been maintaining my weight (125-126) for almost 3 months now thanks to eating right & exercise.

I forst tried on a size 6 because that's the size I was the last time I went out shopping. They jeans fit a bit loose so I said what the heck.. lets' see if I can fit into a size 4.... And I did!!!

No, they weren't snug at all... they were just riiiight! :bigsmile:

    Ahhhhhh! This is me totally jealous, but ogling you in your size 4s! :love:

    Anyway, I am proud to say that I have gone from a size 18 to size 16. I know, nowhere CLOSE to you, but a milestone is a milestone! I don't know if I will ever reach a size 4 because I don't know what that looks like on me, but CONGRATS! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I was not planning on getting below a size 8 but my body had a different plan for me I guess.

    Keep up the great work abby :drinker:

    Wow!!!! Thats amazing!! So even though you haven't lost any more weight, because you are maintaining, you have STILL lost inches!!
    All that exercise is paying off!!

    I hardly worked out this week b/c I have a cold & a new puppy.
    But, I've only been running, jogging & walking for about 30-40 minutes for 5 days a week.

    Thanks but there's nothing to be jealous of.
    I still have tons of toning up to do & we're planning on trying for our 3rd child in a few months so I'll need all the support & motivation after the pregnancy.
