How many sizes have you dropped?!?

Figured instead of counting and focusing on just the pounds we could take a look at our sizes as a way to encourage each other and motivate ourselves and others. I am a bit over three and a half months out and feeling great!

Pant Size Day of Sleeve: 40 and 42

Current Size Pants: 30

Shirt Size Day of Surgery: xxl

Current Shirt Size: Small

Just wanted to say congrats to you all... I am so excited/nervous about surgery ( 2/10/14). I am currently in 16W/18W and my tops are XL or XXL depending on the manufacturer. I am really hoping that once I reach goal I am down to about a 6-8 in pants and medium top. Haven't been that size since the 10th grade... :)

~Update~

Pant Size Day of Sleeve: 40 and 42

Current Size Pants: 28

Shirt Size Day of Surgery: xxl

Current Shirt Size: Small

Before surgery I wore a size 18 tight and size 20 comfortably. I can fit in both a size 12 and 14 depending on the name brand. I've seen several comment regarding "the girls". Unfortunately, I have similar problems to some of the others. While my back size of my bras has decreased from 42 to 36, my cup size has stayed the same at a DD and I would love to be a C or B. I too find that I have to buy a larger top to accommodate the bust.

Last February I was:

Pants: 24W

Shirts: 2X/3X

One year later:

Pants: 10

Shirts: Large (some mediums)

I have about 15lbs left to lose to reach my goal. I hope to be in a size 8 pants and a medium/large shirt.

I was at my personal goal ten pounds higher lol. I am comfortable at where I am now, but with only being four months out I don't have much say.

Started at a size 20 in October now size 12 and large tops. Still can't figure out what size underwear to buy though. .. lol
