Ok so my new goal was to be in a size 14 by feb 14th. I decided to go to the mall this weekend and pic out something cute in a 14 to see how far i had to go. well lo and behold everything i tried on was 14's and they fit!!!! I was soooo shocked! no spanks, no girdles, just me!!!! wow i'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and believing i can make my goal of a 12 or 10 in one year! wish me luck!!!

Way to go!!! I got My butt into a 16 and was shocked. I had just bought a pair of jeans 18 the week before. I scale hadn't changed but a pound or two back and forth but the 16's I bought for next month fit. They were tight at begining of last week and zipped right up by Friday morning.14 seems so far way for me- It's been forever since I own a 14. I can't wait for that day. You are awesome! What a great feeling. Keep up the great work.

Congrats...I am getting close to a 14 too! The best part is packing up all those big clothes and clearing out my closet. Clothes shopping is not the nightmare it used to be and I actually enjoy not being limited to purses and shoes and jewelery in most stores.

That is awesome! I know it feels fantastic! But don't buy too many clothes yet cuz you're still shrinking! I made the mistake of starting to buy clothes cuz I was so excited -- bought 14's then 12's then 10's then 8's ... I'm now a 4-6!!! I cannot believe it!! I was banded back in December 2010 so a little over a year later and 90 pounds gone!! Woohoo! It is very exciting for sure!! :)

it's funny you say that cuz i went to the store today to get some base pieces, like black skirt or pants that i could just switch the tops with. yeah i was already warned not to buy too many clothes..lol

Congratulations......Yes be very warned. I learned after the fact. I brought all these 14's and soon had to return them for 12's and now I have to go shopping again because I am approaching a size 10. My goal is to be in a 8 by my birthday in May. It feels so good to shop in the regular size section. Kudo's to all of us on this weight loss journey.

I was just saying the same thing, I feel a bubble of excitement starting. Im actually loosing weight, starting to use small plates, baby spoons so what, but if it works for me, then I will use.

I bought stuff ahead of time to have , and I think by the time I go look those clothes will be to big, I hope I left the tags on!

Rock on !
