My shocking suprise

[ian559]

Boy, was I suprised today. It was cold this morning so I went to my closet to find a pair of jeans. I wear shorts all the time. I pulled out a pair and tried to slip them on. They were tight. Very tight. I was disgusted!!!! I took them off and as I was about to slam them to the floor I looked at the tag. They were size 54!!!!! I was a 58 4 weeks ago..... Yes they were tight but damn!!!!! They were 54s!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO IAN! It feels great doesn't it? I was at a 42 waist in my jeans and just bought some 38s that actually fit! YEH! Mike

Next step, shrink your jeans in the dryer, and try to fit in them once again!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are shrinking!!!! :Party: :dazzle: :Party: :dazzle: :Party:

Hey, Ian...

...I'm sorry I didn't see this post from you earlier, because I think I have something to add to this that might make you happy (and motivated)...

When I began LCing, I was also in size 58 jeans! Today, I wear 44's! I share this not to blow my own horn, but to let you know that you can achieve your goals by following this WOE. I saved my 58s for history, and truth be told, I even have a pair of 60s. I don't ever want to go there again. Plus, I can't believe how heavy those jeans are when I hold them.

I'll post the attached a couple of pictures for you of what I look like now as an example (actually, I'm smaller now). I have more to lose, for sure, but it feels good...

Thanks everyone. this is kind of bitter sweet to me. I lost this 70 lbs many times. These 54 are pants I wore 2 years ago. I got to a 48 last time...... Sickness forced my weight gain and now this time it just does not seem to want to come off. By this week into it last time I had lost 40lbs..... So I am happy to be smaller again..........
