I started losing weight at a size 20. By the time I had my baby in 2009 I was down to a 16, but after having her (I actually only gained about 20 pounds with the pregnancy, but it was AFTER the pregnancy that I gained, gained, gained) I went back up to about an 18.
This week, I walked into Kohls and came out with size 10 pants.
I vaguely remember that when I got married I wore an 8 or 10. Of course, I was a lot skinnier back then, I think I just liked the baggy look.
But I also know I'm in better shape now.
Better shape then when I was 21.
What a great feeling that is!
Honestly, when I watch shows about weight loss and I see people who I think are skinny, they tend to be a size 8. People, that's just a size or two away... that's totally doable.
I am also 4 pounds away from being "normal". Take that wii fit!
** In an effort of full disclosure these size 10 pants are pretty tight. I'm hoping they loosen up a bit with waring, but they totally zipped and I could sit without wincing so I call that a triumph. :)

You rock!!!
That's awesome! But remember, you ARE skinny! You've worked out your body, now you need to work out your mind. Stop saying that you aren't skinny, learn to take a compliment, and embrace the hard work you've done. :)
Great!!! That's awesome! You need to have a party, but that might lead to a higher size...or at least it would for me.
So excited to see your hard work pay off!
Such inspiration! I can't wait to get my body back after this, our last baby!
