Went through my "skinny clothes"
My scale hasn't moved in a week but I know I'm consistently losing weight. I decided to put my scale away and try on some old "skinny" clothes instead. I have 4 summer dresses that are all starting to fit! It made me feel like this short and difficult journey has been worth it. I've come far in other areas of my personal life. I've been divorced for a year and I'm starting to date, now I have cute clothes to wear out!
Yes, one of the perks... until you've gone through all of the "I'll be able to wear this again someday" stuff in the back of your closet, and then you're up a creek!! ;)
I swear one of the hardest things has been keeping myself decently clothed at work through this process!
But to the OP - seriously, congrats!! It is a great feeling!

I started exercising a few weeks ago, and because so many people have said that it could slow down weight loss (but not fat loss ?) on the scale I started to measure myself every two weeks.
Just 6 months ago size 16 was my dream size. If someone told me a few months ago that I would be shopping for summer cloths in regular sizes I would have laughter at their silliness...
Had to exchange the plus size leggings I just got on Amazon because the came up to my arm pits. Just tried on pair of size 12 pants. They fit!
