Hi everybody! Today I was going through some spring/summer clothes since its ALMOST the season again and I tried on a pair of capri's that I about lived in last year and they are huge!! Sometimes its moments like this that really give you a kick in the butt of what you've actually accomplished (especially now since i'm being so hard on myself in midst of my stall-that-never-ends).

So hopefully this will inspire some people, which is what I love doing the most! I sure know that all of you inspire me everyday!
Have a great day everyone.

"What my mind can envision; my body can master!"

Wow, you're doing great! There is nothing like pulling something out of the closet and finding that it doesn't fit because IT IS TOO BIG!!! Amazing, isn't it?

I have a particular line of clothes that I have worn for years. It's forgiving and yet I can dress up for work in them. I've gone down in size so much that even the tops don't fit. I'm frankly a little afraid to get into my Spring Summer things. I know they are going to swim. Luckily I'm working this year so can buy a few things new.

Glad to share the joy with you!
Peace, Peg

I think we should start a baggy pants club! I am keeping my biggest pair for a photo after I reach/near goal! I still ahve one pair at my goal size from before I got pregnant the first time! I hope to be able to wear it when I reach my goal to take the picture in!

Doesn't it feel great to grab a pair and realize they don't fit??? I love it! It has happened to me twice--I am almost into my 18 misses. The 18 Womens fit nicely--not even tight now!!!! You go girl--keep swimming!!!

If you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it!

Thanks everybody. I feel really good about it. Its werid though, even though I know I've lost some weight, sometimes it feels like i havent lost any (exception of the feeling so much better, I CAN tell that!). I wonder why that is?

But anyways, thanks so much. I wish all of you the best as well!

Emily,

I have noticed that the more weight I lose, the more I notice how fat I am. I SEE the fat more now for some reason.
