A friend of mine brought me 6 huge trashbags of clothing that she was no longer able to wear back in May. I got quite a few things out of them, and so did another coworker. When we were finished, B just said I could donate the rest to the yard sale we were getting ready to have at our church. Somehow one small bag of stuff didn't get taken to the sale and ended up in our den. I pulled it out the other day to see if there was anything else in there I would wear. To my surprise, I found a great pair of pants! Now, if I had not picked out the pants before, that meant that they had not fit very well. So I tried 'em on again since I've been dieting for 2 weeks....and they fit wonderfully!
So I wore them today!! Success feels awesome! The scale says I've lost about 5 lbs, but until today I was still on the steroids. I hoping more falls off now that I'm off of those! I have lost inches, for sure, esp. in my belly. And the great thing is if I don't eat lots of carbs, I am not hungry! Not to say I wasn't tempted today by 'breakfast for lunch' at school, but I resisted well! Chris has even created a homeade salad dressing that I really like on salads...so much so that I actually ASKED for one tonight, which is so usually not like me!
So keep encouraging ladies! I can do this, I AM doing this, and it feels good!

Good for you! Those type of non-scale successes are great! I'm down 2.4lbs this week at WW! =))
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you! It does feel good when you can fit in a smaller size, don't it? I have bunch of clothes that I kept just in case I get skinnier again(x fingers and toes). I guess due to stress, sleepless nights, but not dieting, I managed to lose 11 lbs in 4 weeks. Argh not sure if it's a good thing but I guess it is! :) keep it up! YOU CAN DO THIS! I'll be one of your cheerleaders!
That is wonderful Christi! Good for you :D
That is AWESOME!
Remember, slow steady weight loss is the best way to rid that weight forever - and it sounds like you're doing it!

WTG Christi!!!
