So, i am still trying to wear my jeans that are a size 26 - I need to get a belt if I continue to do this.

A friend gave me a box of her "fat clothes" from after her surgery so I would not have to purchse much.

She was smaller that me to begin with, so most of the pants and jeans she sent were a size 16. However, there was one size 18.

I thought I would give it a shot, and what do my wondering eyes should appear - they fit - they are tight, but I can breathe in them!

Wow!!! so excited!!!

That's fabulous!

So exciting!!! That's such a great feeling

Awesome! Doesn't it feel wonderful! Funny how I've changed my laundry habits from everything in cold water and many things line dried to prevent shrinking to now everything gets hot water and dryer time to shrink things as much as I can. I also have hit the goodwill and other consignment shops because I was told not to spend $ buying new things that might not fit me in a month. I'm not super rich so I'm working every clothing corner I can until I get to goal....then oh how I will love shopping ! I've already warned family that are smaller than me. "Watch out I'm coming for your closet"

Awesome!!!!!!

I reemember 25 or so years ago when I went on Nutrisystem and got down to a 34 slim and how excited I was to show the family I could fit into a pair of jeans that said slim on them.

Looking forward to getting back to that point.
