september i lost 10lbs

november i losts 16lbs

december i lost 9lbs

january so far first week 4lbs

why am i not happy? i will tell you why because i went to ross today to see what size pants i wear i just knew i was a 16 or 18

so i grabbed a bunch of jeans in that range and do you know the 18 i couldnt fit i wonder how big my ass really was, but my 22/24 jeans are way to big for me i was so sad because i knew i could at least get in an 18. this battle is something else man. talk to me fellow sleevers.

ms thank you for the compliment

so i went to ross again yesterday and i noticed the sections, juniors and womens so i went to womens and guess what i fit into a 16W that must mean im an 18 which makes me happy yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i feel so much better

Lol... Take it from a person who still shops in the junior ( though I shouldn't ) a16 junior is definitely smaller that a 16 woman's.

Let me say this-a few years ago I went to a uniform shop. Tried on a set of scrubs, they fit great, so I grabbed a few more sets. Only one set fit when I got home. All three were the same size, same brand. Just try a different brand. I like old navy jeans.

laura lol

doreen i am happy the these

It really is all about distribution. My legs have always been thinner than the rest of me, now they look like chicken legs with my barrel sized tummy on top. I know that in the end everything will balance out, I think we just need to keep going and be grateful that we can't just give up and have a comforting pint of ice cream like in the old days.
