Oh my, I can't believe it....

I went shopping for jeans today and I actually poured myself into a size 10 pair of jeans!!! I don't ever remember fitting into a size 10 before. Mind you they were tight, but they were on this body and they were buttoned up. I thought about buying them as inspiration, but they were really low riders and I just don't care for them so much. I did end up buying two pairs of size 12's, which is fine by me as it is finally time to retire the old 14's. Just had to share because if anyone would understand my euphoria it would be my fellow WISHers.

Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome. I bet you look great in the size 12's

WOOOHOOOO!

WTG, girl!! That is the most awesome feeling. Makes all the hard work worth it!

 

[JoshMom5]

Congratulations! What a great feeling that must have been!

Way to go!!!! Nothing feels better than trying on smaller size clothes!!! And when you can wear something that's two sizes smaller---even better!!! Congratulations, Debbi!! I know that you've been down a bit at times because those pounds were coming off slower than you would like--now all your hard work is paying off for you!!! Way to stick to it!!

Wooooooo Hoooooo!!!

Thanks, it is a great feeling, especially since I used to wear a size 22/24. It really is a wonderful feeling!

Congratulations! It's such a wondeful feeling to be able to get into those smaller sizes!

Heck with getting on the scales! It's when we try those clothes on and the sizes keep going down. That's what makes me feel great! So I know you've just got to be feeling great, a size 10 (almost!) from a 22! Wow girl, you go!!!

PERFECT thought!

I may only have gotten into a 16 dress slack today and, a new pair of jeans yesterday, size 18 but, I KNOW the difference in how they both look AND feel on my body.

Debbi, you were the first to privately welcome me and, have encouraged me along my path and, I WISH you more success and happiness!

WOW!! Debbi-that is 1/2 your size!!! Congratulations!! Keep up the great work, and those 10's will be yours!!

Way to go!!! When you retire the larger sizes, make sure to get rid of them so that they aren't around to fall back on. That is what I have done and it has helped me when I have gotten off track. I knew that I was not going to go and buy a larger size again.

Your hard work is paying off in big ways and even when the scale isn't moving much, that doesn't mean we aren't losing. The clothes and measuring tape can sometimes tell more than the scales.

Keep up the great work.

I want to add my congratulations for your accomplishments! I was wearing size 22/24 and some 26/28's when I starting WISHing in December and can now wear 20's and some 18's. It's a great feeling so I can just imagine what wearing a size 12 or even a 10 must feel like!

Woohoo for you!!!! You have to be feeling so proud of yourself. Keep up the great work!!!!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Congratulation to you! Now, don't get too many in the 12s unless you want to give them away "like new" because it sounds as if you are on your way to the 10s soon.

 

[nativetxn]

WOO HOO! So inspirational!

 

[maryliz]

Woo-Hoo !!!

That's awesome! You are such an inspiration for us all!

I place my bet on the #8!!!!!! Yes- I see that in your future. Okay, so maybe not every designer at first, but I go on record saying that one day - not so far away- you will say - I DID IT

I know you can -- those 10's will soon be "easy on" and then one day you will just try on an 8 and it will fit! YOU CAN DO IT - I KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN - you are doing so well keep up the good job - you are a great LOSER
