I'm wearing my skinny pants today. YIPPY!

Maybe "skinny" is not pc, but I believe most women have "skinny" jeans or pants or something they try to get back into when gained and lost weight.

About 2 mths ago I realized most of my work clothes weren't fitting.  I hadn't worked out (regularly) for about 2 years.  Even though I generally eat healthy I would splurge more than I should.  I've had more family stress then anyone should have.  I wouldn't say eating was a comfort thing because when I'm superstressed I tend not to eat.  I just didn't have time or want to make time to work out because I'm generally way at the bottom of my priority list due to family issues.

Anyway...I've never been really heavy always on the thin and slender side, but I'd put on a few.   I really didn't want to spend money on new clothes so I found cc and some other weight lost sites and tools.  I forced myself to make time to work out (very helpful with my stress level btw).  I started a 1200/day diet. 

I've stuck with it for the last 8 wks.  In a recent visit to my doc he said 1200 was to low so yesterday I bumped it up.  I did a really good work out (for me) last night.

Last week I tried my skinny pants on and I got them on but my belly was uncomfortablly hanging over.  My niece tried my pants on this weekend because she was thinking about borrowing them.  For some reason this morning I was feeling good about my shape (I've decided to focus more on my size and shape now than the # on the scale).  I tried them on and they went on with ease.  So I had to wear them today.  I'm really skyed and feel good for the first time in a while.

Congratulations on your success! It's quite the high, no? Spread the cheer; pay it forward :)

What a great feeling! Congrats to you! I have yet to wear my skinny pants but they fit right now...can't wait until I can get them on comfortably :) yay for you!!!!
