skipped a size?

I somehow managed to skip size 10 and went straight to 8.  I have no idea how.  My size 12 jeans (2 different pairs and brands) were getting loose, so I bought the same brands and styles in size 10.  I tried them on at home and they were loose!  So back to the store, and grabbed size 8 and they fit!  I haven't been in single digits since before I had my now 13 year old daughter.  I remember a vet on this site sometimes says that during her stalls she often loses a size or 2...I guess I see where she's coming from.  I'm not really in a stall, but haven't lost any weight in a week.  This journey has lots of surprises in store.

That's awesome!

thanks!

So encouraging to hear!! I also lost an inch this week, but no weight. Lol. Nowhere near an 8 though. Love reading about those so far along!

thank you!  you're doing terrific!

Nice! I am trying to purposely only buy every other size in jeans to save money... LOL. Just moved down. Time for a trip for both of us to donate some clothes! Isn't it a great feeling?

it is a great feeling.  and yes, I just donated 4 huge trash bags full of clothes.  geesh!  but i hesitate to buy too much because I just don't know where I'll land yet.  LOL that's so smart to only buy every 2 sizes.  I guess I did that inadvertently! 

That is a great feeling..I bought most of my clothes when I was losing a lot at the thrift stores since I was going through sizes fast.  Them and clearance racks are my best friends😊

absolutely!  

I've had good luck with Macy's clearance racks. They often have extra percentages off on top of the clearance price.
