Success Story or Vanity Sizing?!?
I have been a size 12 for as long as I can remember (except for the 14's and 16's after my 2 pregnancies). I went to the GAP today to try on size 10's because my 12's were too big. I ended up needed 8's, and even a 6. What?!? Has their sizing gone off the charts, or have I lost more weight and inches than I was aware of?!?

Some of the strength (especially the second set of push ups and the anterior raise/side lunge) can be…

Finally becoming a part of the "Community"...
I've been on MFP for a month, but haven't been using any of the "community" features. I'm a teacher on summer break and find myself with more time to set it all up...so here I am. I'm 5 pounds into a 30 pound goal. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and I'm looking for people to keep me on my toes and help me stay…
