Wow!!! It just didn't seem to want to come. I've been wearing my size 18 jeans since surgery and today was 'jeans' day-friday at work. I put them on and I knew they were baggy, but I looked in the mirror this morning and they were ridiculous looking in the front. So I mustered all my courage and tried my 16's on and VOILA!!!! They fit...holy cow!!!! They are a little tight...but the way all jeans are when they come out of the wash....they will relax and fit fine. OMG!!!!! I can't believe it!!! I've had little moments of triumph but THIS just makes me sooooo happy. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

wtg, great feeling, after years of losing and gaining, sometimes the # of lbs does not matter, as long as those inches come off.

can not wait till i post that i am a 16 again, keep up the good work

That is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Congrats! I those NSV moments! I might now be moving fast on losing lbs but I do notice my new blazer fitting a little loser now> Yayyy for all of us!

Congrats. Took forever to get back into the 16s, so I hear ya.

Now it's taking me forever to get under 200... been working on it for three weeks now. Determined not to update my ticker 'til I get there. I WILL get there! I've lost 70 lbs to date and have been able to unload all of the boxes of clothes in different sizes that I saved for years. That in itself is a victory. To all of us struggling, HANG IN THERE.

Woot woot! It is a great feeling! I rummaged through my closet yesterday for size 20 jeans and the whole way up the leg I was chanting, "Please fit, please fit!" -- and they did! At first I thought they were too tight (you know, the right out of the dryer feeling). But less than an hour later I found them very loose and I tugged on them all day like I needed a belt to hold them up! Not quite ready for an 18, but getting closer every day!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
