I went through my closet last night trying on all the clothes i have kept and the one's my sister left and it has a lot more room in it now! I'm giving away a stack of size 16 jeans,a couple of 18's.Kept size 12 and 14.The 12's are still a little tight but i did get them on.
I have lost 14 pounds in the last 2 months but it seems like more because of the inches lost.
The scrubs i wear to work look terrible on me because they bag so much but i can't afford to buy anymore right now.
The main problem i have is my face....my cheeks are chubby.....i want a strong jaw line.lol

Doesn't it feel great to clear out those duds that have gotten too big and baggy? Great job, lilac and keep up the good work!

Take care~

Isn't Doing that a great motivator to continue this woe. I keep coming up with "new" clothes from my old storage boxes. last weekend I wore jeans for the first time in over 2 years. I had forgotten how comfortable they were. I've started haunting the goodwill store near me and have come up with some great bargains that will see me through a couple months of weight loss. I refuse to spend $30 for jeans or pants and shirts I will only be able to wear 10 times.
Good luck!

Congratulations! I live for the day that I can wear some of my smaller clothes!

If you have a sewing machine it isn't too hard to make your scrubs a little smaller. Just sew along the seam on each side. I've got a closet full of XL scrubs and I can't wait till I can take those puppies in!!

Yeah! Doesn't it feel good? Happydance!

The other day I found a pair of pants that I had put aside much earlier this year. They were my "mini goal pants". I had just about forgotten about them. I tried them on - totally lose on me now! So cool!

My husband is also so glad, that we hadn't gotten rid of the smaller size pants, cause now they fit again. He is also very thrilled.

Can't wait to go down another size.



Never give up! Never surrender!

Getting rid of the bigger sizes is the best feeling! My boyfriend and I just bought a house and while i am packing I have been trying on old cloths. I am hapopy to say that two full boxes worth or going to charity instead of my new house. I droped from bulging out of 12's to a 7/8.
