Losing pounds on the scale has been quite slow and I consoled myself for awhile with the idea that I was losing inches instead but even that was getting thin ( figuratively of course) after a month or two or three !!. I persisted though and finally this week- a new size. I have officially fit into a size 14. I tried on several from my collection and the first 3 items still didn't fit but the 4th did. So I strapped on my suck-it-in pantyhose and went off to work in my size 14 skirt. YEESS!!!!!!
