feeeling pretty good about it

[Doloris]

I have been losing weight over the last year and have made it to the 47/50 mark. Depends on what time of day I weigh myself. I started out in a very tight size 16 jeans. Then to a 14 and then to a 12. Recently a friend made a remark that my jeans looked a little big on me. I was starting to need a belt with few of them.
Today I went to the thrift store and tried on size 10's. Woo Hoo they fit, so now I am officially wearing a size 10.
I don't think I have worn a size 10 for 40 years. LOL. Didn't think I ever would again in this lifetime.
I have been buying my jeans in the thrift store since I was changing sizes so often. Feel better getting rid of $2.50 jeans that often rather than $20.
Just wanted to share my happy moment.

Good job!!! You should be very proud of yourself!!

My sister did the same thing buying her clothes when she lost all her weight. Otherwise, it would be a small fortune!

Yeah for you! I haven't seen size 10 for about 25 years! What is your secret for success?

About a year ago my Dr said I was prediabetic and put me on Metformin. I am also on cholesterol meds. I saw a program that said statins can block sugars from converting to energy and store them as fats.
I was in WalMart one day and saw a bottle of "Sugar Blocker" in the diabetic section. The main ingredient of it is chromium. I have been taking the "Sugar Blocker" and watching a little better what I eat. Not much exercise, as I have a bad disc in my back that sits on my sciatica nerve if I am on my feet for very long.
The fat just started melting away.
It has taken a year to loose 50 lbs, so I am hoping by losing it slowly it will stay away.

Nope, I don't want them around. Giving them to friends that can wear them or re donating them. More motivation to keep the weight off. Sometimes I still want that whole bag of salt and vinegar potato chips. LOL
