I went looking for a skirt today - a cute black skirt. After trying many on, i shockingly bought a size 8. To celebrate, i bought a pair of sling back, peep toe stillettos. ;)

the annoying part...when i look down at my body, it looks the same as before. lots of bumps and lumps. Thank goodness for cameras. :)

A size 8, that's great!

I'm excited to have dropped from a size 24 to a size 20. I can't wait to be just like you!!

Enjoy your skirt and shoes!! :)

thats awesome! do you find it easier to walk in heels with the weight off? i cant walk in heels to save my life. when i do i want to cut my feet off!

sadly i havent really dropped any sizes yet. my 20's are too big but the 18's are too snug.

yes, my feet feel WAY different with the weight loss. So much better. I had MAJOR problems with ingrowns, but the pressure is off, literally. I might actually get to keep both of my big toe nails now!
