Thought I would share my success:

So, this morning I had to try about 20 outfits to find one that was not falling off me! There is a big pile of clothes that don't fit on my bed.

In the past, it was the reverse! The pile would consist of clothes that were too tight!

Not a single pair of my office pants fits me anymore. So, I am going to use my 30% kohls coupon today to buy a couple of pairs to ride me over.

Down from pant size 22 to 16!

YAY!

Awesome. Go you!!

great job. It is a wonderful feeling! I have been stuck in a 12 for 3 months and just now dropped to a 10. What a feeling!! I feel so much smaller around my husband now. He is 6"4 and I am 5"7 and married for 20 years. So weird to be hugged by him and he can get his arms all the way around me.

So I have to ask: Are you getting rid of those clothes? I am starting to drop sizes but am so conditioned that I will regain that I keep the old clothes just in case. I know (and pray) that this will permanently work for me but a lifetime of ups and downs has left its mark.

Think positive and it will work for you how long doe's it take before the weight starts dropping a week a month

I know exactly what you mean. I have lost almost half my body weight. I have not just gotten rid of lots of clothes to start with but during my journey I have given away new clothes that were now too big. Its worth it keep going.

My NSV.... I have been taking Water aerobics for a few years. You may know the exercise where you lift your left knee and bring it to your right elbow. Never could quite make the connection but yesterday I DID IT!!!!!! My pool mates cheered with me!!!! It was amazing.. Thank you Lord!!!!

I was nodding my head reading this post. I have my pile. It is growing as we speak. I also have a alternate closet... It was filled with cute clothes I could not wear. Ummm its almot empty. I love shopping in my "little" closet.

I hear ya! Old habits and fears are hard to shake off!

To answer you question, this time around, I am getting rid of clothes. This step towards a healthy life was a drastic one for all of us taken with a lot of thought and care. Now is not the time to doubt it!

I cleaned out 3/4 of my closet this weekend and packed 6 giant bags for Goodwill. This has motivated me further. Seeing my closet almost empty and only consisting of clothes that fit has made me stronger in my resolve! Try it! Just clean out and pack loose clothes away. See how it feels for a week or so before dropping off the clothes at goodwill.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS!
