My wow moment today

Evening all, This morning when I was getting ready for work, I tried on a pair of my husbands shorts and they fit. It was so funny to me just to think 6 months ago I could'nt have gotten them up my hips but they went all the way up, fastened, zipped and were not tight, I still had room in them. I guess the weight is really coming off after all although I don't see it in the mirror, but I can tell it in my clothes. Good luck to the rest of you as we journey through this together. Octavia

That's funny....my husband did the opposite not too long ago and grabbed my shorts out of the closet and couldn't get them all the up. I guess he was so accustomed to grabbing the smaller clothes that he assumed they were his. Dawn

Hey Octavia...I have been dreaming of trying on my BF's jeans. I think I might actually give it a try tonight. One of my big goals is to weigh less then him. He's about 185, so I still have about 40 pounds to go, but because he's all muscley, I think I won't have to weigh less than him to fit in them. Congrats on all of your success!! Beth

That is wonderful. I was celebrating with you as I fit into a size 18/20 skirt. That's far from the size 30 I was wearing 5 months ago. I can't believe how much we change. Did you get the e-mail about the Bham dinner on Aug 3rd @ 6:30pm? It is at Pablo's at the Colonnade. I hope you can make it. Beth M

Hi Beth, I did get the email, I just wanted to make sure I'd be able to attend before I said anything. Isn't it great when you can get into old sizes again? I'm having a problem with my sizes. I guess it depends on where I go but they're varying from 18-22. Octavia

Good for you Octavia I know how the mirrow can fool you, but the clothes really tell the tale don't they Regards and hugs, Ronna

That's great that you fit in his clothes w/ room to spare. My husband wears funky Wrangler slim fit jeans . . . he only weights about 155-160. I'm sure I'll never fit in his jeans, but wouldn't wear the kind he wears anyway. Yahoo for you! Karla

That's great news ... what a moment! I finally weigh less than my husband ... you better believe I strutted around when that happened! LOL And the other day when I did a load of laundry, I had to look twice to figure out which jeans were Steve's and which were mine! Debbie

Octavia - That's great! What did your husband think about it? My wife says that she'll kick my butt on the day I can fit into her clothes! Congrats Be Well, A.J.
