Hi, all...I thought I should start posting here instead of the "Newbie Questions" board b/c I'm not quite so new anymore, and not all of my posts are questions.

I had a very magical moment this morning. For kicks, I got out my size-12 black pants.

Quick background: I got these pants before I gained weight post-partum (lost after the baby but then gained quite a bit in the following months), plus a few other pairs of pants. I haven't been able to get into any of these since about February of this year. I have been wearing just 3 pairs of pants over & over: size-"10" jeans which were obviously mislabeled; and two pairs of maternity pants. How shameful, but that's what I have been wearing. The maternity pants don't have pouches in the front, so you can't tell they're maternity wear. They're cute boot-cut pants but they do have elastic back-waists and I've just been wearing long shirts over them.

Well, so, FF to this morning...I put on the pants...AND THEY FIT. Oh my gosh, they fit. A little tight in the waist (arghhhh) but not too tight to wear. And a little LOOSE in the caboose.

I almost cried...I was so overwhelmed with wonder...I am so thankful.

Just wanted to share that.

Congratulations!! You're well on your way!!

That is really great!

Congrats!

Good for you. Keep up the good work. Peg

Wow! And the future holds...even SMALLER pants!

Congratulations!

That's a great feeling. I've been pulling stuff out of the closet (hiding back in shadows!) and they are fitting again. It is so exciting to wear them again.
Congratulations!!

YAY! Good for you! Enjoy wearing those pants, that's just a taste of the success to come!

Yippee!!!
Congrats on your new wardrobe addition.
