Talking 32Lbs. gone and in prepregnancy jeans

Well I hit a milestone last week that I didn't know was a milestone until, well, I hit it. I started in a size 24 and last week I put on a size 18 and the best damn fit too!! I haven't worn a size 18 since 2002, before I met my husband and before our 3 sons. I know I still have 50Lbs to go but man it feels great, it gave me the encouragement to keep working at it. I'd love to wear a size 12, I don't have any memory of wearing a 12 so I'd like to see if I can do it. Just thought I'd share my excitement with strangers who have the same goals as I do.

Congratulations, that is awesome progress! Wearing jeans that haven't fit in forever is such a reward!

I feel ya! I put on a size 20 that I had previously bought and had to fight to get on! I put them on Friday with no problem! I could actually fit them perfectly! No more kicking and pulling or laying down to try to button them!! This added to my motivation because I felt like this is really working!! Contgrats!!
