    Renewed determination! From size 26 to 16W & going....

    Hi you Guys!

    I have to share - last evening we went to Nordstrom's & I wanted to see for myself the real & true results of my weight loss journey.

    I could not believe my eyes when the lady helping me pulled out a 14-16W! I do not remember the last time I was not wearing a size 24-26

    I tried a wonderful dress on & even my 7 year old cried out... Mom you look sexy & of course his dad & I were quick to correct him on the inappropriateness of that!: But what a great moment!

    It was such a good pick me up and it renewed my vow & confidence to keep going.

    I want to say THANK YOU for the advice & camaraderie we share on this site!

    So tomorrow is a new day & working towards a lower weight & shrinking waistline!!!
    Starting weight: 275 lbs

            That is a great story. So cute about your 7 yr old (I have an 8 year old and know some of the things they can come up with. Its just cute because they are just being honest!).

            I know that is an awesome feeling and so motivating!

            Keep up the great work...so inspiring for the rest of us.
