Size What to Size What?

Hello fellow Bandsters,

I don't so much count my success with the numbers on the scale, as I do my clothes. The scale may not always move, but the way my clothes fit or don't(OMG! can you imagine now having clothes that are too big for you..it blows my mind). I am a work in progress, so that's why I put current size, not goal size. For the first time in ages, I am actually in jeans that are in style and it makes me feel amazing(and amazing beats depressed anyday)!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's celebrate our progress!!!!!!!!!!!!

STARTING SIZE... a tight 18/20

CURRENT SIZE..... 10

I FEEL......sexy and modern, did I mention sexy? lol

NEED TO WORK ON....exercising, toning and confidence

Need to work on....... I think I'm doing pretty darn good. I try not to snack, or if I do it's something decent, I don't deprive myself so I don't really get cravings, and I exercise 4-5 days a week. I'm losing slower, but still losing, and I'm feeling better than I have since college. I'm active with my kids, have tons of energy and a much more positive attitude--boy I sound really conceited! :thumbup:

I have lost only about 15 pounds was down 20. I have hit a wall. I had 2nd fill and I still feel no restriction. I have not been stuck, or feel like I need to stop eating. I do get full but on more than I think I need to be eating. I get my next fill on the 25th, I hope this will give more restriction.
