Ok, so yesterday I started going through some of my clothes.  My husband and sister were telling me the "baggy" pants had to go!!   I ordered a new set of scrubs for work, I ordered a 3x pant, knowing if they didn't fit yet they would eventually.  I pulled them out of the bag, looked at them and said: "no way are these going over my fat !SS.  My husband said givem a try, just to see how tight they really are.  OH MY GOSH!!!  I actuallly got them on... they are just slightly snug on the front of my lower belly, but totally wearable, especially with the top that is long!!!  I couldn't believe it.  I started going thru a couple of other things in my closet.  My sister had bought me a new pair of capris for vacation, in a size 26 about 4 weeks ago.  I couldn't even pull them up all the way back them.  Today they not only came up over my hips, but were able to be buttoned as well.  Again a little tight in the panni area, but  doable with the long orange shirt she got for me with it.  I really think that by vacation in about 7 weeks they will be perfect!!!  My husband loved the orange shirt too!!!  I think this has been my first major WOW moment!!!   I am now thinking that for the first time on this vacation, perhaps I can get a few of the cornie T-shirts from the places we go.  I have never been able to do that!!! Thanks for listening  Caroline

Woo hoo!  Doesn't that feel great.  But re: the capris fitting in 7 weeks, I'm not so sure they will fit.  I think they will be TOO BIG!!!!!

Keep up the great work -Dawn

That's fantastic!  I love that about this board...I'm not the only one really excited to be able to wear a 3X/size 26.  I *so* can't wait for the day so I can only imagine how happy you must feel!  Keep up the great work and I can't wait to hear when these things are too big!

I know that many of us track pounds and inches, but one of the signs of progress  that I enjoy the most is fitting back into things that I had grown out of. Isn't it fabulous!
