Another non-scale success...
Had to share with everyone...
I started this journey in a size 32 jeans and had to struggle to get them on and then prayed I never had to sit in them. The other day, my mom gave me a pair of jeans to wear as I lose some weight. I just took them out of the bag and laughed...a size 16. Yea, right mom. a 16? Maybe in another 3-4 months. So, just for giggles, I thought I would see how far I could get them up on my legs. I just about passed out when they went over my legs...and then my hips. I thought...surely I can't button them. I DID!!!! They fit and I can even sit in them and still breathe!! I know all jeans fit different, but a size 16!! Holy moly. I still have about 45 pounds to hit my goal. I didn't think that at my goal weight of 190 I would be able to wear a size 16. Here I am 45 pounds from goal and wearing a size 16. Wowsers!!!

yeah thats awesome....i understand how you feel and be happy about that..lol ..my hubby bought me a coat right after we got married, probably 12 years ago...its one of those usAF coats..blue with the hood. He is retired air force. anyways, that coat was always a bit tight..never really fit me right and so i never wore it much. I have carried that coat around to wear it "someday" and that someday came..it fits better now then when i got it....that amazes me so i know exactly how you feel..
