Clothing Size NSV! My size no longer starts with a 2!

I know I have mentioned that my daughter has given me clothing that is too big for her (she has dropped weight since having a baby a year ago), well I have been able to wear the shirts for quite a while now, but recently she gave me some dress pants, khakis, and jeans that are mostly size 16's (not 16W's) and a few 14's. Well this morning I tried all of them on before work to see if I could by chance where a regular office outfit to work today rather than the uniform (it is not mandatory for my position to wear the uniform, but I have been because I ran out of clothes). Anyway, all of the size 16 dress pants fit! The size 16 khakis fit as well but are a little snug so I will wait a week or so to wear them and of course the 14's are still out of the question, but I can't wait until I can fit into the 14's, also looking forward to wearing pants even smaller than 14's but for now I am looking toward the 14's (one size at a time right?). I still cannot believe I have dropped from a very tight uncomfortable 28W to a 16! And shirts went from 26/28 and/or 30/32 for more room to XL! Getting there, loving this journey!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

I am in a 16 too and love it. I bought some jeans at goodwill the other day,thinking I wouldn't be able to wear them yet--but they all fit now. Never thought I would be in a 16 ever again!

Congratulations!  That was a great milestone for me too!  I was a size 26 (really tight!) and a size 3xl shirt.  Wait until you go into single digits!  I NEVER thought I'd get below a 16---I'm a 4. 

Keep up the awesome work!

Congrats!!! I found that the clothes start getting very big rather quickly! It won't be long until those 15's fit and will become to big!!! You are doing a great job!
