I was getting dressed this morning and for once...

[spoiltmom 44]

I changed clothes 5 times before I decided on what to wear and it wasn't because everything was too small, too tight and made me look fat it was because everything I put on fit really good and looked AWESOME!

I just couldn't decide what to wear:) So now I sit here in my size 12 jeans, yes 12 and I'm feeling so happy:) I started this process in a size 20 and I'm now a 12. I feel so great! Now that I'm finally in control of my weight I feel like I'm totally in control of my life now.

Just had to share with you guys cause I knew you would understand it:)

Awsome! It is so much fun to fit into smaller sizes. I hit my goal in Sept. Recently did shopping with mom and some of the things I bought were a size 0- who would have though. Keep up the good work!

Same here. I was a size 20/22 when I started, now down to size 12. I went shopping yesterday and it felt so good to try one clothes and have them actually fit! It took alot of self control to not buy everything I tried on I am so ready for summer - ready to wear cute sundresses, shorts etc.

Congrats on your weight loss!

Congrats on the wonderful success, I was banded Dec. 14,2010 and have lost 35.9 pounds so far.... But I still am hesitant to go buy clothes, as I still see myself as the size I was not the size I am. My husband told me yesterday that I look like I'm drowning in my old clothes...which felt very good to hear, so I guess I'll try to go buy a few things. How fast did y'all lose that much weight? I'm wondering if this will slow down cause I don't want to waste money on too many new outfits. Thanks for any info y'all can give me

Just go slow on buying new pants. I find that shirts last me quiet a while but I drop a pant size every 3 to 4 weeks.

You really should go try on some new clothes. It's really fun and you'll be amazed at how much smaller you really are now:)
