Pants are no longer in the 20's WOO HOO

Today I am happy to report that I am no longer in 24's, or 22's even 20's, Okay I still wear 20's but need a belt. I am in size 18!!!!!!

I am thrilled and needed to share with someone else other then my husband. Though he did comment on how my butt is shrinking. LOL

Congratulations and good luck on your continued success.

Congratulations!!! It's a good feeling, isn't it?

I started as a 22 and currently in a 16 but they are big so I'm ready to move into a 14. :rolleyes:

That is awesome, I am so looking forward to getting out of the "woman's" sizes

Exactly! I was able to buy my first shirt in an XL and finally not in the plus section. Just seems crazy to think I can finally do that. Love it though!

Cangel, that is great news!! You are such an inspiration! So proud of you!

Wahoo! Way to go sister! I am 6 days out and am starting in a 20 and can't wait to wear my 18's and 16's I have put away. I don't know what I would do with myself of I got lower than that! I wore 14's in middle school lol. I'm starving but seeing your success makes me proud for you and excited for me to get there!

Congrats i can't wait! I can barely remember the day i wore pants under a 20, hopefully soon!

wow congrats 18 is awesome

ive gained and lost 60lbs in the past 4 years, so i have size 6-size 18 in my closet. haha hopefully ur size 18 continues to shrink

just got banded so hopefully my size 16 rite now will shrink to a 6!

That's awesome! Congratulations!!!

Our stats are similar. I can't wait to go shopping in the "regular" section of stores and not have to go to specialty stores. In fact, I'm just belting my clothes until I can do just that. No buying new clothes until they are a 16 or below!

Congrats! I started off in 20s and I'm in 6s now! I have 20lbs more to lose so I'm seeing a size 4 in my future, maybe!!

That is excellent. How long did it take?

Honestly it's been 7 months. 6 months of meetings with nutritionist brought me from 234 to 217, then a month and a half after surgery I went from 20s to size 18. I couldn't go to the gym for the first six weeks so my weight loss was stalled. Some weeks are better than others.

Congratulations! Isn't it a wonderful feeling? I too just bought my first pair of dress pants since my surgery---yep, size 18! It was great! I refuse to buy anything else until I'm out of the Women's section and in the Misses section. :) Hopefully, that won't be long for either of us!

Awesome job. I just went to Aeropostale yesterday and I fit in their sizes which are juniors 13/14. I still have about 15 more pounds to go, so hopefully will get in their 11/12 soon.
