That's fantastic - congratulations!! I can only hope I get to that point - I've only just started - but have lost almost 7 pounds although I work in kilograms so that equates to 3 kg. Still it's encouraging. Well done again.

Way to go! There's nothing like pants that don't fit because they're too BIG to convince you you are making progress.

Way to GO!!!!!!
There's something to be said for tight pants that turn baggy! And something even better for your brand new tight pants to turn baggy! Even tho I'm eager to have nice clothes all the time, I try to buy every other size as I reduce-just to keep the cost down.

Thank you all for your wonderful support. I would have quit a long time ago if not for you all here.
Gretchen, I don't get the inches thing either. I mean, I am happy to be smaller, but I still want to weigh less! I have developed some nice looking arms though.
Neener, I should have bought 16's as well, but knowing my history of failing, I just bought what fit. Can't wait to go buy a size 16 or even (hard to believe possible) 14's.
adkpam, denser is better!
Thanks again, I am so proud of myself and it helps to share with others who understand where I am!
