I just wanted to share this. Before I started on CC, I was 181lbs, when I started CC, I was 153 lbs.

This morning I was 129lbs.

Last night, I bought 3 new pairs of jeans (this is a big deal for me).

They were a size 4 petite.

I used to be a size 12.

I just wanted to share that. :)

Woohoo! way to go Shuber!

Yay! Great job!! I can't wait until that day comes for me! =)

That is AWESOME!  Congrats on your hard work!!

Congrats! That's great! (I love when buying clothes is fun :)).

Wow!! You  must feel great! Congratulations!

Congrats to you shuber! That's AWESOME!

Yes, congrats to you. I'm still too big to enjoy buying new clothes. I buy new plants for my flowerbeds instead. Then I can enjoy them while I get my exercise gardening. But if I drop about 20 pounds I'll go back to buying clothes.

Congratulations!  That's awesome!

Your post was very encouraging! I am just getting started and it is frustrating when I think of how much I need to lose. Knowing someone else could do it and DID do it is encouraging for me.

I didn't get to my current weight (215) overnight so I won't get to my goal that fast either. Each day is a step closer though.

Keep up the good work as you work to maintain your fabulous loss.

hugs....charlotte

That has to feel great!!!

I think this is great you just encourage me to keep going.

I have just turned 40 yrs old and decided to lose 30 lbs. I am 150 lbs and have been off and on at trying to stay motivated. You have just motivated me to keep going.

Keep up the great work.

Great job!  You're at my goal, and I started at about the same place as you!  I'm only down to 174, but you've inspired me to keep at it!  Thanks for sharing!  Would love more advice from you...

That is awesome!! How tall are you?

How long did it take you to lose all that weight?  You must be so proud of yourself!  I know it is so hard sometimes but you stuck with it, I'm proud of you

That's totally fabulous - you're at my weight and you reached my goal. Could you share some specifics of your daily eating regime along with your exercise choices of cardio and strength training.

Right on!  Good for you!

That is awesome to hear!!!!  You started out close to what I was and it sounds like your goals are similar to mine as well.  I've been at it off and on for around 2 years now and I finally got down to the low 120's (123 this morning) and the four pairs of size 4's I bought a couple of weeks ago are already loose on me.  I was a 14 when I started :)  Great job and keep it up!!!!

how tall are you?  what did you weigh when you wore a 14?

how tall are you?  what did you weigh when you wore a 14?

 I am 5'4" and I honestly don't remember my weight when I was a 14.  I was 191 when I left the hospital after having my son 2 yrs ago.  I dropped to about 163 within 6 months. I started CC in March/April this year and was about 140's.  I've since gotten serious and dedicated and have lost all the baby fat.... and then some.

You are about 3 inches taller than me.  I am trying to figure out what I need to weigh to get back into a ten and then into a four.  I'm no where near that now, just need the numbers for motivation.  Your doing really well.  Good to hear you can lose and keep it off!
