I've lost a little over 20 lbs and I'm still in the same size, but if I'm being honest with myself, my clothes were too tight for me and I should have been a size up. Now I can definitely see and feel that they fit much better. Maybe that was the case with you?

Hi everyone! I'm a SAHM to a 2 year old boy. I'd like to lose about 70-80 lbs.

That's awesome! I love your blue sweater!
