WOW Moment & SOOOOOO happy!
My niece is getting married on January 15th ...she's having this huge beautiful wedding and I have waited and waited to get something to wear to it...well the time has come so last night I went out looking...I want something really pretty and fancy...I don't really wear dresses (because I have always hated how heavy my legs were) so I'm looking for something with pants...I will admit that I didn't find anything that I was happy with but what I DID find out is that I have gone from a size 26 pants to a SIZE 18 and blouse size of 22/24 to SIZE 16!!! OMG I was thrilled. I was with my girlfriend and I took 3 different sizes into the dressing room...pants size 22, 20 & 18. I put the 22's on and they looked and felt so huge...I tried the 20's and they were still too big so I said to myself, even if they don't fit I'll just try the 18's...they actually fit. All the tops I tried on were way too big so my girlfriend brought me a size 16 in 2 of the styles and they fit AND looked GOOD. I didn't buy them because I think I can get something better (fancier) but I can't believe that those sizes actually fit my body! The pounds may not be showing on the scale but I guess the gym is paying off and the inches are melting! I'll find out tomorrow morning when I get weighed and measured at the gym!
Thanx for letting me share! I'm so excited!

Linda,
Great news hun ~hugs~ You are doing awesome. I know when we are not losing on the scale that we are moving down in sizes.
Congrats again and I hope you find the perfect outfit that will make you shine at the wedding.

Hi Linda - That really is great news and a GREAT WOW moment. It must have been an incredible feeling to get into those smaller clothes. You should try on a dress - just for the heck of it. I bet you will look great in one! Whatever you end up getting, I know you will look smashing and you will WOW your family and have a blast at the wedding.
Enjoy!
