[mumof2boys 71]

OK...so my new "obsession" is shopping for clothes because I can finally fit into some cute stuff. So...I went shopping the other day for some pants for work. I couldn't believe it...a size 6...A 6??? I wanted to run out of that fitting room and scream...I have NEVER been a size 6. Damn...I am so in love with my band...just thought I would share.:thumbup::biggrin:

I'd like to eventually see some size 8s, no hope with my hips of ever seeing a size 6. Not built that way. Too many curves. Most people I doubt will ever see a size 6. Lucky you.

That is so wonderful and inspirational!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

I don't know if I'll ever get to a six, because even when I was a stick, I was a 12, but I can't wait to have that feeling you just described. I've had little tastes of it lately though.

I wish you lots of continued success!!! Thanks for the motivation today!

[mumof2boys 71]

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Believe me...I'm sure if I went to a different store a six wouldn't fit but I'm still happy about it. I want to wear the pants inside out so everyone can see :confused: I'm usually wearing a size 8 which is beyond my wildest dreams...never thought that I would see it. You guys...you can do it...you WILL succeed!!! If I can do it...anyone can. Keep a positive attitude and keep working hard...it's so worth it.

THIN FEELS BETTER THAN food TASTES!!!!! (it's true)

Congrats!:confused: yes, you make us feel so excited and hopeful. I remember wearing a size 7 in high school and that was 30 yrs ago. My hips will probably not let me ever get back to a 7, but if I get to a size 10 I would just be so happy and thankful! I am working this band as a tool, doing my part. Thanks again for the update, you make me feel like I was wearing the size 6!! horray, horray:thumbup: Patti:biggrin:

OMG that is wonderful!!!! I'm so proud of you. You GO girl!!! I haven't been a size six since I was 24. MANY years ago....... I too will never see a size 6 again, but an 8 or 10 would be awesome. I'm in a 14 now, so not to much further to go.

I would like to add my congratulations, too. I had a similar experience I'd like to tell you about. I wear scrubs at work, and began this journey wearing 2x size. I had moved down to large and was ready to go down again, so I went to my favorite outlet store and picked out some medium tops and pants and took them home. Well, the tops looked okay, but the pants looked baggy. I can't be a small, I said. So back to the store, only this time I wanted to try the pants on before I exchanged them. Well, the small fit, and was I ever in shock over that! I am almost to the point of small tops, but I like a little room, so medium is okay for now. In numbered sizes, I went from women's 22-24 to misses size 12. The 12's are comfortably loose, and I recently returned a pantsuit to Blair exchanging a medium for a small, as the medium was too baggy looking. I am broke from buying clothes, but ecstatic over being able to wear some more form fitting clothes.

Congratulations again, and keep up the good work.

WOO HOO! That is the best feeling ever, isn't it? I was in complete SHOCK when it happened to me. I wasn't a size six since I was like, 11. Seriously. So I know EXACTLY the excitement you feel. YOU ARE AWESOME! GO GIRL!!!

Tina Congrats!!! I tried on 6's this past weekend. They were tight, DH LOVED them. I could almost wear them, but need 5 more pounds to get into them.

I loved the comment about wearing them wrongside out! Too cute!
