I'm down 24 lbs and I'm a size 16!!! I feel so good, even though I've been so bad the past month. I went and tried on pants at different stores just to make sure that it wasn't a fluke. Like I told my friend they are tight but I haven't been in a size 16 since my first son 13 years ago. I think I actually feel and look better than 13 years ago. I still have a ways to go but I think the light bulb finally went off in my head. I also have inspired one of my coworker's to give up soda and coffee, she is going to be fun next week to work with!!!

Good job, Wendy! Stick with it til you hit your goal. Do you see a size 7 by this time next year?

congratulations, wendeh!

that size 7 is very doable! i think i started at a size 24(that's when i started wearing jeans instead of sweatpants. you can stuff a lot of fat in a large sweatpants.

)

I don't know about size 7, I'm starting w/ small goals. My goal weight is 165 to be honest. I know that still seems like a lot, but honestly I want something that seems attainable and that does. Maybe once I get there I will keep going, I'm 5'10 so that is on the high side for me if I remember correctly. It's all about not getting discouraged and seeing results. Not beating myself up when I slip also helps so much!!! Thanks guys for you support!!!

Congratulations!!! I like your goal weight. My dr. told me he wanted to see me at 160 and I'm there now, in a size 12. That goal didn't put too much pressure on me and I'm still trying to lose more but am really happy where I am. I'm only 5'4" so 165 will look a lot better on you than me, ha ha!
