I really am 6 sizes smaller

Well if you all remember from my post the other day "Back in the saddle" I had made mention that I was able to get into some older jeans of mine in a smaller size. I also had stated though I thought something might be up with that specially since they were the stretchy jeans. But Guess what??? Last night I was thinking about what I was gonna wear to work today(a 2nd job of mine) and started to get a little panicky as I really have no decent clothes that fit. I had very few nice fat clothes left and allot of my other nice clothes are too small still, so while I was frantically searching through my closet. I then realized I had allot of different jeans in the same size as the ones from Sunday so I thought I might as well give them a try.. and Holy Crap was I thrilled to find that they all fit too. I was just so surprised!!!! but boy what a nice surprise. I still however have the muffin top thing going on but that can be somewhat disguised with the proper shirt but then again when you go out to the stores or whatever I constantly see people who have the muffin top and don't seem to care so maybe it is the new trend and I am just in style now...LoL

SO now along with my weight countdown I will now begin a size countdown but this time I will actually admit what size I am wearing. I am still not comfortable about admitting my weight so I am going to hold off on that until I get to the 100 lbs weight loss mark like I said (Which if you will notice I am 1/2 way there already) but here goes the size thing

Pre-surgery Start Size - Pant Size -28
Shirt Size -24/26

Current Size - Pant size - 22
Shirt Size - 20/22

Goal size Pants - 10/12
Shirt - 8/10

Now my neighbor the other day told me that she sees a health specialist/nutritionist, who told her that with every 7lbs that you lose you drop one size in clothing. Which is pretty darn close to what I have done. (I am sure that there is some slight variations depending on the persons body) So by my calculations I should be at my goal size in another 70-80lbs and for once that goal does not seem like it is unreachable and I can see it happening in the near future.

So I am gonna drop a challenge on you all. Why not test the theory, everyone try to lose 7lbs ( no time limit on it) and see if you drop 1 size. I will be anxious to hear the results..

Good luck !!

Way to go Michele!

I know it feels good to get into smaller clothes!

Hopefully I will be able to tell you if the 7 lb thing works for me or not soon!

wow, that is great news. Soon you will be in in your smallest size clothes and will have to go buy more due to they are too big.!!!!

I will work on the 7 lbs and see if I can get back to the size that is in my closet...

Keep up the great work!!!
