pbnjsandwich 13 Posted November 18, 2012 I'm 4.5 months out & find myself getting discouraged occasionally but have had some incredible moments & I'm writing them down to come back to on my "I'm making no headway" days!! Since 06/18/12 (start my 10 diet) I've lost 87 lbs & 55.5 inches! Bras at Lane Bryant didn't come small enough so I went to Victoria Secret to make my first purchase there ever! I bought a cute outfit that the mannequin was wearing at Old Navy (after grabbing the XXL & finding I could really wear the XL)! I can cross my legs. I can easily see my collar bones! My whole family is now healthier (my hubby lost 50 lbs just being supportive & eating what I eat)! We are now those "granola loving, organic, locally produced, no processed food" weirdos & I'm ok with that (although I do have a huge cheat of Sugar Free Chocolate covered toffee as a treat pretty often & I know that's terrible for me but its oh so good)! I have very few clothes bc even the big stuff I was continuing to wear literally falls off while I'm walking! My little girl shows me with her arms how big I used to be & how big I am now! I'm sure there are more but since I've been stalled at this 85 lb mark, I need a visual of how far I've come!! 5 icon23, DayByDay, erpiedbnuebn and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinky Green 260 Posted November 18, 2012 I bought 2 pair of size 18 Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and one fit and the other was still too small. Difference is that one is 1% spandex and the other is 2%. Then I bought a pair of Faded Glory size 18 Petite with 2% spandex and they are still too tight also. So O have one pair for now and two for probably another a week from now.

Catracks 865 Posted November 19, 2012 87 pounds in 4.5 months? That's GREAT! Congratulations! I'm doing the happy dance now. I am now one size larger than my daughter. I think I scared her because she just 10 pounds over the last couple of months. Anyway, I went to my old favorite: Goodwill, and got 10 pairs of pants for $25! Sizes are different depending on the brand, but I wear either a 6, 8 or 9. I can't tell you how thrilling it is to go into Victoria Secret and get mediums or go into American Eagle and just grab something from the rack! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY for the sleeve!
