In the Thrift Store dressing room. I fit into size 8 dress pants. Not just one pair ... but several. I could not believe it.

The last (and only) time I wore a 8 was a brief moment MANY year ago when I was 17 (when I had just lost 63 pounds). I was a lot smaller then (126 pounds) compared to my ~143 pounds now, but I'm not going to even think about size differences over the years. I am just going to enjoy this.

The point is ... I BOUGHT SIZE 8 PANTS AND THEY FIT ME!!!! Who would have thunk it?

Mini-Me,

CONGRATS!!!!! I can't EVEN begin to image how it must feel! Rejoice in this moment and enjoy! All of your hard work has paid off!

That is soooooooooooo AWESOME!!! Congrats and enjoy.

I would have totally CRIED:crying:!!! I'm so happy for you sniff, sniff...then I would have screamed for JOY:lol0: lol

Awe Mini.... thats great!!!!!! I bet you look fab in those 8's

What a celebration!!! I would cry too. That is so amazing. Be so very proud.

Congrats Mini! It's pretty exciting all right! The sleeve is so grand!

The sleeve is grand ... just heat and humidy don't help on the scale. I'm retaining like 3 pounds due to the heat. Yuck!

But, the 8's still fit ... just a little more "snug". Yahoo!

I'm so happy for you. . .Keep up the Good work!

I was sleeved on April 2, 2010 and the joy of just being able to lose weight is truly a blessing. I am down from 326 to 251, never in a million years would I have been able to get that much weight off (75lbs) on my own. I can only imagine what a size 8 would be like and I know when I get there I'll be crying also :thumbup1:
