From size 18 to size 6!! SIZE SIX!!!

[EverLosing]

I can't believe it!! I haven't hit 160 lbs yet and I actually slid into more than a couple pairs of size 6 jeans today! When I'm grumbling about the scale, please remind me again that it does NOT matter! The body is shrinking and lately water and on plan food are the only thing I can attribute that too. Need to get much more exercise!

The only bad news is there weren't too many styles I loved that were available in size 6. Seems more sold out than size 8. I finally gave in though. I'm a great clearance shopper and found SIX new pairs of jeans for under $80! I have a complete collection of skinny jeans now and it's awesome!

Oh, and for those of you who think you can never get to a size 6....I've never worn this size in my life. Ever. It is possible. My weight isn't any different than it was last month when size 6 was just too tight and I felt like I couldn't spend money I didn't have just so I could cross my fingers and hope one day I could fit into them. This WOE/WOL does work....if ya work it!!

How exciting!

I must just be big boned. The only time I fit in a size 6 jeans was when I was a teenager. I was very thin years ago at 123 and my jeans were at the smallest a size 8. I am currently a little heavier than you and fitting into a very loose 14.

Congratulations my dear friend, well done.....I'm VERY proud of you!!!!

Thank YOU, Sarina for being such a terrific friend!! You've mentored me MANY times and kept me from diving face first into a bowl of Lucky Charms!! I count myself lucky to call you friend!!

Congrats,I hope one day I can fit into that size too.At the moment Im a UK size 12.

Sham, you're so close!! You'll get there before you know it!

Yay! Well done Everlosing! Very inspirational!

Thank you, Alexa! Yes, I know I need to get off my bony a$$ and get to shreddin'!!! Need some muscle behind me!

How exciting!

I must just be big boned. The only time I fit in a size 6 jeans was when I was a teenager. I was very thin years ago at 123 and my jeans were at the smallest a size 8. I am currently a little heavier than you and fitting into a very loose 14.

Princess, never buy into the idea that you'll never be smaller than the smallest you've ever been. The big boned thing is a hoot too! I spent most of my life believing I was big boned. Until I shed the fat around the bones and toned the muscle, I really DID believe I was big boned. I've totally got height on my side as far as size! You WILL BE a smaller size at a higher weight with this WOE. I've always experienced that. I wore a size 14 at 170 in high school.

you did that since January...you are my hero!

Oh, you are such a sweet woman!! I'll let anyone call me a hero anytime. Heck, I might print that one!!

Woohoo!!!!

I'd rep ya, but I already repped ya! Scale, schmale - you hit the number that counts most!

Thank you, Shrew!! I know you're right! However, I need you to keep pounding that truth into my head, please!!

You rock ever!

And you, Oz, you have been my rock! Thank you for everything! This win is yours too! I am grateful to have met you!!

Ever that is wonderful
You are such a loser
I am in awe - congratulations!!!

Oh, Liv!! You shouldn't be in awe of me or what I've done. I've looked up to you for over a year now. I've followed you around this board for a long time! Seriously, with all the hours I've put in here, I could have built a house by myself by now. Instead, I tore one down!! Just keep reminding me that a shrinking body matters MORE than a scale that's trying to kiss my butt from the floor with compliments, i.e. numbers I'd like to see!!
