I am just as guilty as the next about feeling chained to the scale sometimes. I know that I am a slow and steady wins the race type of weight loss patient. I exercise at least 5x a week to help things along, record my food journal, watch portion sizes, don't drink my calories, etc. Sooooo...when the scale slows down, it is frustrating to see just ounces when I want pounds. However, a few weeks ago I decided to go get a few new outfits to reward myself for working so hard.I was so pumped!! No more plus size! For the first time in over 13 years, I didn't have to pay $2 extra!!! As exciting as that was, I also picked up a few clearance fitness tops and shorts that I found on clearance. There was a couple that were 12/14 tops that I went ahead and got even though I couldn't wear them yet. A girl can't pass up a good deal! Well, today I decided to try it them on before my workout! Success!!! In just that short time, even though the scale didn't show much of a change, my body definitely has!!! WooWoo!!!!Since March I have dropped from a 24 pants to a 16/18 and my tops from 22 to a 12/14! Such a great feeling!!!!

Thats awesome! congrats..must have felt great!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can only imagine your excitement. Keep up the good work

That is awesome...i'm like u..the scale has only gone down 45 pounds in the 14 months i've been banded. But from a size 20 to a 12! Keep up the good work

They say clothes doesn't make the man or woman, but sometimes doesn't it make you feel great? Congrats!!!

That is really exciting news!! Keep up the good work!!

got that feeling this evening!! I bought some shorts and was able to get two sizes smaller!! Woohoo! It felt wonderful!

Congrats,

Today I went shopping for new shorts have been putting this off till the last minute before our vacation. Not smart because apparently July is the end of summer. LOL So selections were limited but on sale. So first I went and got shorts at Target and got into a size 24, then tonight I went to Lane Bryant and was hope to get some jean shorts but all they had was one pair of size 22 I thought well let me take a chance and see if they fit. To my suprise I got them up, buttoned and zipped. I was SHOCKED, before my surgery on May 29th my LB jeans were size 28 so excited about the drop in size.

Congratulations!

I've also been dropping clothing sizes lately, and I've found it nice to be able to 'shop' in my own closet again.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

I can't wait to go shopping in mine you could only imagine the clothing with tags I have in there that don't fit!

Congrats!!

Awesome progress! I have also gone from a tight, tight 22 (should have been a 24, but vanity and pride prevailed) to a loose 16. It is an amazing feeling and each time I moan to myself about slow weight loss, I remember the 6 clothing sizes I've dropped.

I too had to get rid of clothes with tags that are now too big on me. I never got to wear them but Im happy about that!!

Great NSV, I too have bought things, wore once and found next time too big!!Great for the ego, no the pocket book!
