I bought my first pair of size 6 last week, and I literally did a Snoopydance in the dressing room when I tried them on and they fit -- and not only that, but they make my butt look cute, which hasn't happened in a loooooooooooooong time. :D

size 8 was the most exciting, for some reason: because it was single digits? I'm not sure.

I got down to a 4 but that didn't ever seem real.

now I am living happily as a 6. but 8 was the most exciting. oh, and it was the first time I got new clothes - that's prolly why. so from 18 down to 8 I just lived in really baggy stuff!!!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

size 8, life is great

I think for me it was fitting into a size 34 waist trouser. For me a 34 took me out of the "fat man clothes" range. I was so excited to be able to put on a pair of 34 jeans I just about lost it in the dressing room. Now I'm in 32s, but can easily fit into 31s. (Please remember I'm short, so fitting a size 34 means I'd still be too big for my frame! So, no offense to the tall guys here for whom a 34 would be a down right skinny size!)

Fitting into a size Medium polo shirt was pretty cool, too! I've gone from a XXL down to a M or S in most shirts.

Ahh... very nice to read that others out there had a happy size that wasn't necessarily the smallest size! I love the different reasons!

I sobbed, like blubbering baby, sobbed in the Gap dressing room when I slid on a size 0 boyfriend cut jeans. The little 20something associate had to knock and check on me because I was crying so hard.

I was excited for 18 because then I could shop on the other side of the aile but let me tell you squeezing into a 14 today was a wonderful, wonderful feeling.. so I can now fit into an occasional 14, most 16's and all 18.. Oh what a feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a 22/24 to a 16/18.. Boggles my mind!!!!!!!! Dont tell anyone but sometimes I just go to the store and try on a pair of jeans so I can look at myself in the mirror and be amazed at the size I just put on..sshhhh, its our secret and no I dont buy from the stores YET, as I go to resale shops now cuz of going threw so many sizes..now remember...its our secret

I was thrilled to get down to a 20 because I didn't have to shop in the fat section any more. I'm in an 18 now and headed down. It's hard to believe I could get as low as a 10 or 12, but if, rather WHEN I do, I'll scream, cry, pound my fists, and jump for joy! oh - better not jump - bad knee ...

8 was the best for me, hands down, the first time in my life that I was able to walk into a store and buy a single digit size!

I must say that going from a 28 to a 14 has been EXHILERATING!! The next size down is ALWAYS THE BEST IN MY OPINION!!! I can't believe that I started this journey 7 months ago and have come so far so FAST!! My goal is to be in size 8-10 so that will be my favorite when I get there....for now it's size 14!!
