from a size 18 to a size...

8!!!!! I went shopping yesterday and I got 3 new pairs of pants all size 8!!!! woooot! Im so excited I almost cried when I put them on. It feels like someone elses body with my head attached. im going to put a pic of me in one of my new outfits if anyone is interested in seeing in my album. still doesnt feel real! :)

Wahoo!  You are is amazing!

I was a a tight size 16 (probably an 18, but I wouldn't allow myself to shop for new clothes) until I lost some weight.  Yesterday I bought a pair of size 12s.  And I am feeling pretty darn good about it.

I meant to type "You are amazing!"  This is what happens when you don't proofread posts!

thanks!!

That is sooo exciting!!! :) I can't wait for my success. I'm a 16/18 currently and look enviously at my own (older) size 10/12 pics. I haven't been under a size 10 since jr. high and I'm not even sure if it's possible anymore for my frame. You have given me a lil more hope though! :) Congrats!! 

thanks ladies!! hard work but so worth it!

Thats great.

Ive gone from a NZ size 22 which i think is a US18 to a NZ14/US10? Im aiming for an NZ size 6/8 which i think is US size 2.

Good luck with your goals and enjoy the new clothes

Wow!! You can tell a big difference just between Sept. and October!! Way to go, I'm sure that is a great feeling!!

Wow, that's quite an acheivement! Congratulations!

That’s Awesome!!! I was a size 2X (that’s size 24) …. And I just recently bought a size 14/16 for myself the other day.. I’m feeling great about it… I would like to go down to a size 10 though… still working on that goal… the 16 size I bought are already a little loose… and I bought it 2 weeks ago… lol.. I hate to keep buying new clothes.. but I really needed them since I no longer could wear my big ones… but I did find some really old stuff in my closet which were size 14 and I took those out and tried them instead… I’m really proud of myself.. but I would really like to lose another 30 pounds (and a couple of sizes) J …

priya1- I know what you mean, it took me a good 20 pounds to buy any new clothes and then I started going down faster then ever (size wise) and now that i have spent all this money I *hope* not to drop to a size 6 (if I get to that size at all) too quickly...spent too much money to not enjoy it!

This is why it has a convenient "E" button to edit your post.

Awesome!  Thanks for the post, it's so inspiring! 

Wow! Congratulations. I really feel like that is just impossible for me. But seeing someone else do it gives me hope. How long did it take you? I am a size 16. I have been going up a size a year... pretty much. It is so depressing. I am too young to have anything to blame it on other than myslef. How did you stay motivated???

Congratulations! That is a huge drop in sizes and you certainly must be feeling good. Congratulations on your new body and new clothes! You look amazing!!! :)

way to go!!! i remember the first time i fit into a size 10, i danced around in the dressing room! you look fantastic!

sheila-

I felt the same way but you can totally do it!! it took me about...4 months I think?

just simply being aware of whats in the food i was eating has been HUGE with me! I dont think I could go back because of it.

Congrats to you.

Aussie sizes are a bit different, Im an AU 18 at the moment and hope to be a AU 12, which is like an 10 or 8American I think...I cant wait. I wont be buying any new clothes until I reach my goal weight so I will be in baggy clothes for a while lol 

Good for you caiti83! I just had two little ones too, and I never thought I would lose the weight. My mom never did so I figured this was how my body was going to look. It was a "mommy body". But like you we can work hard to lose it. I'm in a size 9 now, two smaller then before I was pregnant and one then what I was in highschool. I definately cried in the dressing room! hahaha

Keep it up, I hope these last couple pounds are easier for you then they are for me!
