Finally in the Healthy Weight Range!
 

When I started my weight loss journey, I was in the "obese" category. Yikes!

I spent the last few months in he "overweight" category and finally after my weekly weigh this morning, I am officially in my "healthy" weight range for my height of 5'9"

Very Exciting!!!!

I can't weight to get down to my goal.

One huge bummer about the weight loss is that NONE of my pants fit me. I HAVE to use a belt, and I only have a few pairs of pants I can wear and not look like a weirdo trying to hold her pants up, (Which is what I'm doing...size 18, and now I'm maybe a 14?? I wouldn't know since I refuse to buy new clothes!)

NO buying any new clothes until I hit my weight goal!

Thank god for dresses!!!!!

YAY for you! Great job!!!

If you end up really really needing to buy some new pants before hitting your goal, you could always get a pair or two previously owned from someplace like Plato's Closet or salvation army.

Keep up the awesome work!!!

That's awesome, great for you!! :) I can't wait to be on my healthy weight, still a loooong way to go but I'll stick to my goal!!!

that's awesome very excited for you woo hoo happy dancing.

on the pants issue i hear you about not wanting to buy new clothes until you reach goal. however you should have two pair that you feel good try a second hand store & see if they have any you like.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far! I can understand not wanting to buy new clothes until you reach goal, but wearing clothes that fit is such a great boost. Life is a journey, so you might as well look good along the way :) To avoid spending too much on a few nicely fitting "in-between" outfits, try checking sales, salvation army stores, consignment shops, even Craigslist.

Congratulations and a big well done! You should treat yourself though....really show off your new figure in pants that actually fit you! (It feels wonderful!) Good for you, here's to your goal weight! :D

When I read this I was thinking "this is exactly how I feel!" :p I am also 5'9" and a few pounds away from my "healthy weight range" and using belts to hold my pants up because I refuse to buy any until my birthday, should be very close to my goal weight by then.

Congrats to you!!! Very encouraging!!!! :)

omg well done!! i cant wait to get in that category!

Congratulations, I'm jealous as all get out.

Well done Lucky! So excited for you!
The hard work has paid off... enjoy those new clothes when you finally buy 'em :).

Best always,
Smoosh

Thank you guys so much!!! It does feel great to be considered in the "healthy" weight range for once!

I just went to a wedding this weekend wearing the same dress I wore in March. I should post a picture of me before and then after. Kinda hard to tell, but you can see it in my face and arms the most.

So this is me. The picture on the left is when I was 210 pounds back in March. The picture on the right is me as of yesterday at 168.6 pounds.

I know it's hard to see a difference, but I can tell!!!!

Well done and congratulations!
I always say..pants that are tooooo big is a NICE problem to have!

@Luckygir15

Awesome! Yes you can definitely tell by the face and arms. Great job!

Wow! Congrats! Big difference- you look great:D

Not hard to see a difference at all! Well done!

So I finally broke down tonight and bought a new pair of jeans... American Eagle, size 12!!!! I went from a size 18, to a 12....YEahhhh!!!

I've totally forgot what it felt like to be wearing jeans that actually fit the way their supposed to, lol

I have 15 pounds to go, so close!

You look fantastic, well done!

Congrats!
 

You look AMAZING, Lucky Girl! Not hard to see the difference at all! Awesome job!

I'm glad to hear that you bought yourself a new pair of jeans. All my jeans are from American Eagle too. They are not too expensive and I certainly don't feel guilty getting a new pair before I reach goal! (I will however invest in a pricier pair once I reach goal :) )

Good job on the weight loss...
 

I have a sister who is a smaller size, she convinced me that I could fit into her pant size and lo and behold I could. She gave some of her jeans she hasn't wore in a while as well as some shirts. I still have ten pounds to lose so I don't want to buy any new pants. I did buy one pair a month ago with a size 14 from 20+. I am now at size 12. Maybe you have a friend or family member that can give some of their pants in the meantime, then give them back when they don't fit.
