I'm wearing a size 14 jeans today!

[ZerasPride]

I just had to share with people I know would understand. Honestly, I could just shout this from the rooptops!!!! I started SBD 7 months, 3 weeks and 2 days ago wearing a tight size 26 jeans and here I sit at work fairly comfortable (they are a bit snug around the tummy) in a size 14 Lane Bryant jeans. What's so funny is that I tried on a pair of size 14 LB jeans about three weeks ago but they were the stretch kind so they fit pretty well. LB changed their style of jeans in my area within the past couple of weeks and the jeans I have on today are not even the stretch kind since they don't sell those anymore.

Woohoo!!!! I'm wearing a size 14 jeans!!!! I'm getting so many compliments on them this morning at work. I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging because I don't mean to seem that way at all. It's just that being on this stay off the scale challenge and not being able to weigh myself has kind of thrown me off a bit. It can be maddening not to know eactly what you weigh. But, with these jeans on, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'm making progress. Thanks for listening guys!

OH LISA MY WISH SIS!!!

I cannot even begin to tell you how THRILLED I am for you!!! Shout it from the rooftops! Heck, as soon as I'm done typing this that's what I'm gonna go do! MY WISH SIS IS A 14! WOO HOO!!!

Oh, Lisa, this just has to be such a big milestone for you. You are one success after another...do you realize how many people you inspire as every single day goes by? I cannot say enough about your hard work and determination. I have said this before many times, but I sooooo know how hard you are working to get where you are now. And beyond having lost so much weight, you are so fit! Manly-man pushups, a Lifted Fanny...did you ever think that you'd be at the level of fitness you are now (see my new signature line below!)? You are not bragging, but even if you were, I can't think of anyone who deserves to give herself a shout out more than you do!

I am so unbelievably proud of you, Lisa. I hope you hear me as I go shout from the rooftop, "I LOVE MY WISH SIS!!!"

Thanks so much to each and every one of you for your continued support and encouragement. I have tears in my eyes as I type this. Sometimes I feel like I'm over the top with my excitement about this weight loss journey and I think I might be getting on people's nerves with my constant posting. It's just that I've been overweight all my life and this is probably not a big deal to some of you that are smaller but for the very first time in my whole life, I am smaller than a lot of other people I know. It's an amazing and thrilling feeling and I just want to keep that spark alive and posting here is a great way to do that.

So here is my personal thank you to each of you:

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for the well wishes, smiley faces, jumpy dancey bounces and all the other ways you are celebrating this milestone with me to July, IMGONNABE40!, SetzKitten, Beastlover, Sueg, CookieGVB, disneysnowflake, my WISH-sis Kim, Minniespal, wtpclc, DisneyEnthusiastic, Princess Michelle, Rae Ann, barbeml and Laurie.

Guys, I know we say it all the time but isn't this just the most special place? Where else can you come and share your weight loss success with people and get cheered on and encouraged like this. One of my coworkers made me a bit jealous because she got a keychain for making her 10% goal at WW. I thought hatefully to myself that I'm nearing my third 10% goal and I don't have no stinking keychain. But I've got something much better. I have all of you! My WISH buddies are my "prize" for staying on program. You are each so dear to me - thanks a million for being here and making me feel so very very special!

 

[barbeml]

Right back at you!

"Keychain? We don't need no stinkin' keychain!"

Lisa! You'll always have us!
