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!!!!

Nothing better than smaller clothes! I started out at size 28/30 and am now a 10/12.

i love the smaller clothes too, but I hate how stores sizes are so different. some I can be 14 others 18.

these days i'm trying to be more interested in how they fit n look on me rather than the number on the tag.

another thing i've learnt is that even though it might fit - it may not suit your body type! here I was thinking i could wear anything in a size 14 but no. if it doesn't suit my body type it still looks rubbish.

its all about the look of it now and not the number on the tag.
