Ok, so I've been rather down on myself because I fell off the wagon over the holidays. I didn't exercise for 10 days and didn't really watch what I ate, I grazed a lot. So I busted my tail and worked out really hard last week, watched what I ate and the scale reflected....nothing. I have remained at the same weight for about 4 weeks. This, for me, is a disaster as I was losing 10 pounds a month on average for 9 months!

So, I started the 5 day pouch test today to get back on track and jumpstart the weight loss again. Tonight I decided to try on some clothes I got on clearance for an upcoming trip in two months, and lo and behold, the dang size 12 skirt went on and zipped up and was snug, but 12? 12??? Haven't seen a 12 in oh.....about 12 years! Hope the silly thing fits in 2 months! If not, I'd rather have wasted the 9.99 than have it be too small!

Congratulations! I know it feels good to fit into a smaller size.

Congratulations! I just managed to zip up a pair of size 12 jeans,too. Now they are definitely too tight to wear in public, but I'm pretty excited. Size 12 sounds incredibly small when you used to be a 26.

Now if only we could figure out a way to discreetly display the size tag.....

:thumbup: Discreet, my butt!!! I will proudly wear it out, and say "oh, really, I didn't realize my size 12 tag was out!"

oh you are cracking me up!!! that is so something i will do when i get out of these 14's and into 12's. I can't wait!

Ha! you guys are so funny! Amazing how a 12 sounds so small to some and would be other people's "fat clothes"...coming from a size 24 I'd say a size 12 is damn good! We should all be proud--damn those pounds, let's talk sizes!

I know! I was a tight 26/28, now I am a 14/16. I am proud of that...heck, when I reach a 12, I will probably shout it from the rooftops. Sew extra big tags that say "size 12" in my clothes, you name it, i will do it.:thumbup:

It is kind of surreal sometimes, when folding the laundry, I will go to fold pants or even panties and wonder for a minute whose clothes they are. It is weird. They look small to me now, since I absolutely remember where I was 18 months ago.

Yeah, don'tcha just LOVE JEANS! My husband thought a pair of mine were my daughter's. Awesome NSV!!! Of course, she wears much smaller jeans but, he thought mine looked small enough to hers. : )

That is exactly what is happening and I just find it weird, but good.:w00t:
