12!

No joke, I squeeled like a little kid! What an amazing feeling.

My sister, who is thinner than I am (for right now), gave me a bunch of her "fat" clothes (my words, not hers) that she no longer fits into because they are too big since she lost weight dieting.

I have been trying on these clothes for a couple of months just to see how close I was to fitting...initially I couldn't even get this particular skirt up over my thighs...today, it slid up past my thighs and zipped up with one tug of the zipper! 

In honor of my NSV, I changed my avatar to show off my thinner face and shorter haircut!

That had to be so exciting!  I've NEVER worn a size 12!  Congratulations.  BTW, I see that you're oh-so-close to the "century mark".  You've done amazingly well.

Thank you so much!! I can't remember the last time I wore a size 12 either...if ever! It does feel very good.

I am very pleased with my weight loss progress, but find myself slipping into some old habits...AND I am at a stall. I can see the century mark...but at this rate, it feels like I may never get there... I keep hovering between 170.5 - 171 -- I can't wait to see the 160s!! 

You are also doing incredibly well, and 80 lbs down in ~6 months is awesome!! Keep up the excellent work!!

 Ah, size 12....such an awesome thing.  Congrats.  

My sister is a size 4, yeah I know, *****! LOL I love her, but she has this pair of size 5 pants she calls her "fat" pants so I took them and told her that my goal was to get into those pants.  I don't know if I ever really want to even be a size five, being 5 foot 8.  But I have them and for giggles I try them on every now and then, and I can pull them all the way up at least! 

I am currently a very loose size 12 working really hard to get to size 10 before I can buy new clothes!  It sucks I have like 3 pairs of pants!  LOL

Thats awesome! Way to go! It's exciting to see these changes, it makes it all worth it! I tried on the dress I wore to my junior prom today and it was to big and like you I got excited!
I love your hair, it's cute!
