The FastDay Forum

I decided to try on a size 12 pair of jeans that I used to wear 2 years ago before gaining a lot of weight and to my surprise they fit perfectly!!

I have only lost 9lbs in 6.5 weeks but I have lost a LOT of inches! Especially the 3 inches off my waist (I exercise 3 times a week)

I am now only one dress size away!

I wanted to encourage people not be hung up on what the scales say but instead measure and try on clothes in smaller sizes.

P.S. Nobody except 3-4 of my friends so far have said anything even though I know my weight loss is evident! My co-workers stare at me but don't say a thing, weird huh? They do offer me chocolates and cookies though

Yay great stuff!! I have a suitcase full of clothes that don't fit me lol!! It sounds like they are a little jealous at work to me!! You go girl!

I keep meaning to measure myself!

Well done, feels great eh? Keep it up and ignore the jealous hoards.

Thanks Claire!

I hope you fit into those clothes soon too

EPIC! what a great feeling that is. I feel a shopping trip coming on soon, I want to see if I can fit into a size 12!

Feels wonderful, loving this WOL

Haha, thanks for the advice! Shall ignore them!

I can't wait to see my parents and cousins now

Well done, IcePrincess - what a triumph!

Great post - I weighed and put on two pounds but was convinced I felt smaller - I exercise 3x a week. I have just measured so hopefully ill get some results I like there

You could well be building a bit of muscle, which weighs more than fat does.

Awesome, I hope you find size 12 a little loose

Don't you love jealousy??? It boosts our self-confidence in seconds!!!

Congratulations, it is indeed a great feeling to not have to buy something new but to actually fit in the stuff you bought because you liked but couldn't wear them!!! Keep up the good work, you're almost there!!!

Thanks lovely! I am not being that optimistic, but you never know

If you feel smaller then you're definitely on the right track, keep it up

Absolutely! It encourages me to stick with it too.

I do have a couple of lovely size 10 dresses that I would love to wear, maybe 6-7 weeks from now? You never know

I can beat 2 year old jeans... I'm into a size 12 soft leather jacket that's 25 years old!! It was expensive when bought and so I kept it for old times sake.
Now I'm wearing it - and loving it!
