  • Wow! You look great!!! I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking, what size are you wearing now? I'm 5'5" and have lost 16 pounds (193 to 177) and my goal is to wear a size 8. I'm currently wearing size 13-14 and I know everyone is different but it's nice to get a general idea. Congrats and keep up the great work!
