So last night my friend and I went to a concert and I needed something to wear so I stopped at Gordman's to check out the clearance racks. I found a really cute denim skirt and thought crap it's a 12 I can't wear that but thought since it's only $5 I have to try it on and see how long it will be before it fits and I might still buy it at that price. I go and try it on and it fits perfect in fact there is actually room to breath. I can't figure it out honestly because I have several 14's that won't fit still and 16's are roomy but to fit into a 12 I was shocked. When I started this journey a size 12 was my goal size to reach to be realistic I would love to be a 10 but figured it wouldn't happen. I have come down from a size 24 to a size 12-14 in the past 4 3/4 months. I just hope that I can continue to loose and maybe see a size 10 in my future now that it sounds a bit more acheivable. I still have about 35lbs to loose to hit goal so that's at least 1 more jean size. Just wanted to share my exciting news, on an unhappier note I went and got fitted for a bra and I about cried when she said I was a 36 B I haven't been a B cup since 4th grade, I swear I am going to be the only women on earth who has had a breast reduction that has to get implants. I can't believe I am in a B I am in denial so I didn't buy a new bra yesterday but considering all the ones I have are D's I might not have a choice soon.

Melissa, congratulations! I totally can relate to how you feel! Before surgery my goal was a size 12, too, and I'm wearing size 12 pants right this minute! I can't even imagine what size I'll end up at-it's too mind-boggling! You are looking wonderful-keep up the great work!
