Well I did it....

Hi Judy!

I did write to you once but the post disappeard.  Weird.

Thanks for congratulations. I did feel really good trying on those pants.   I took a chance, didn't try them on at the store.  I thought if they don't fit.  I will make sure I had a goal to get into them.  But they FIT....lol

I really do feel good, and thank you so much for your support


Peace

Wwwwhhhoooooooooooooo MaryMargaret!!!! You are beautiful and you know size 14 is the "normal average size of an American Woman"...Never apologize about size. It's about health for us. Size 14 is great!

You my dear are a success...WOW!!! Size 30/32 to Size 14!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Debbie,

You are right, it is about health but I like the little perks that come my way.

I know it is normal size, but I still see places I need to lose.  Some places I will never lose the flabby skin.  You know what, I am not going to worry about that. 

Yep, when I started to lose weight on atkins I weighed 354 now I weigh 169.  A few more pounds to lose..

Thanks for the encouragement.  I really need to feel good about myself

Peace

Mary Margaret......CONGRATULATIONS!!  I bet you were walking on cloud nine when you tried them on and they fit! What a great accomplishment girl.

Hi Sandy,

It is an accomplishment , isn't it?   You work so hard and sometimes it seems like you aren't getting anywhere and then finally, it pays off.

I am thrilled to be in the 14's.  I honestly don't ever think I wore that size.

I was always heavy my whole life.

Thanks for being supportive.

Peace

Congratulations!

Size 14 is my next goal. I'm barely squeezing into a 16 now.

Glad to see you treated yourself to new jeans.  Once in a while a girl needs a reward.

Ciao,


Maria

Hi Maria,

Thanks and you are right about rewarding ourselves.  I never paid 30.00 for a pair of pants.  I thought about what I was going to buy and decided to splurge on the jeans.  I figured that I wanted something, for a change that was a little more money than I would spend.

I love this group they are all so supportive.  Makes you feel so good.

Thanks again,

Peace

Hey, good for you! It's smaller than my size (I'm a 16). Don't put yourself down for "just" a 14. Celebrate!

Hi Eileen,

You are right, it is a celebration of commitment and hard work.  I don't see myself thinner in the mirror, but I know now I have lost weight to fit into those jeans.   I was so happy I wanted to cry/

Thanks for your support.  What a group I have found here.


Peace

I may never get down to a 14 - but GOOD for you!!!   Many congratulations.  I know it isn't easy.
