Yes! Today I went to buy some new jeans and ended up with 4 pairs of......are you ready for it???......size 28!!!!! I used to wear 32 and occasionally had to go to a men's 33. Holy cow, a 28! A little back story, about 5 months ago, I joined Jenny Craig. After carrying about 25 extra lbs for the past 7 years, I decided it was time to get rid of it. I've tried Weight Watchers in the past, losing 16 lbs. Then, gained back 10. That was 4 years ago. I decided to try Jenny Craig so there wasn't quite so much "wiggle" room. I needed pre-packaged foods so when I was finished eating, that was it. No "just one more spoonful won't hurt" or taste-testing while cooking. Anyway, fast forward 5 months and I've now lost 22 lbs and several inches and feel GREAT! I work out 4-5 times/week and today was my first Pilates class. They use the machines, which make the moves really smooth and comfortable, well as comfortable as they can be. So much better than doing squats, etc on your own. The "reformer" really is a godsend.
Ok, ok, I'm getting off topic. So, my original goal was 140 and then when I hit that, I lowered it to 135. Once I hit that, I felt so good that I decided 130 was reachable. I'm at 133.7 right now so only 4 lbs away. That will be a 25 lb weight loss. Why oh why have I been such a slug for so many years?? Since I've lost and re-gained and now lost again, I never want to go back. Hopefully that will be all the inspiration I need to eat healthy (with occasional splurges) and stay active...it feels so much better!
I will be sure to keep updating as my twice weekly Pilates class continues. The cardio makes me feel great and full of energy but now I need to tone and add strength. I really never knew my body could feel this good...amazing.

WAY TO GO! I actually thought the title to this post was "Small Victoria's" - as in Secret's underwear, which apparently, would also be fitting! (pun intended :)
Congratulations - wish I was there to see your fab new figure in person. Am sure you'll just be poster girl for the Caymen ads next year though - I'll catch you there.
