I posted this in 100+ but I wanted to post it here too. I have been visiting the forum for a while. I usually don't post a lot but have been doing it more and more recently because I think I need the support of others going through the same things. I have been losing about 1/2 to 1 lb a week and its been a struggle as I see others in my group having lost much much more than me. Especially as it seems the scale has been sort of stuck for a while. Today I went into Lane Bryant. I have been resisting shopping because I refuse to pay that much for something I hopefully won't wear very long, but this means all my clothes are really big on me. I was unable to wear a 28 there when I began my journey. Today I tried on the pants and the lady told me they run kind of small. So I tried a 24, and they were falling off of me. Then a 22, again they were too big. So she got me a 20 and......I actually got them on my body!!!!! Its been years since I could fit in a Lane Bryant 22. Granted I could only fit into them and zip them up, but still they went on my body. It made me hope that even though the number seems stuck that I am at least getting smaller.

That's great Oceanspirit. I too get easily depressed when I'm losing only a pound a week or stall for a couple weeks. That is great about the inches that you are losing and I am encouraged that it's not all about the scale but about the inches too! Way to go!

Congratulations! I'm sure that made you feel great. :rolleyes2:

That feeling is what the whole journey is about!! GOOD JOB

Congratulations! While the scale victories are nice...these NSV moments are even better!

Awsome! Shopping has been fun for me, and that's a great feeling. Keep up the great work!
