I've lost 55 pounds over the past 6 months or so, and for the first time I fit into a size 16 ... the same size I was when I was in college 15 years ago. Too bad all those clothes are long gone ... I had some cute stuff back then.

Congradulations, I wish I could get into a 16.
The minute you think of giving up think of the reason you held on for so long

Wow! That's cutting out and/or exercising off like 8,000 extra calories per week for six months! Holy moly, congratulations!

Good for you Alyssa, that is a tremendous accomplishment, keep it up!
Congrats! I know how hard it can be - I've dropped about 70 pounds in the past year (size 22 down from a 28). Feels great, doesn't it?
thats awesome keep it up!
Way to go girl. I know how good it feels to drop a dress size or two..... Gives me another reason to go shopping ... LOL.
Thanks for sharing....

Well done - enjoy
The day I fit in a size 16 is the day they make those magic pills that let you morph your whole body smaller.

I am sorry girls, I would have to come from the other direction to fit into size 16.
12 to 14 for me.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
No you don't, I still have some of mine from back thenI even tried to wear a couple outfits....it wasn't pretty and I hope some theater group somewhere likes what I donated
Congrats on losing the weight

Hi Alyssa, Congratulations it's great to get down to where the good looking fashions are.
Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~......
I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !

congrats on the weight loss! 55 lbs is great progress! You'll be a size 10 in no time. Look for a great phone app called "My Fitness Pal". It's free and helps you track your progress, calories, etc....Another great app is designed for going out to dinner. Which is where most of bad food resides. The restaurant app is called "Restaurant Nutrition" (has a fork, knife and spoon in the logo).
I gained 10 lbs after I had my little "event" back in Nov because my body was used to taking in so many calories that I was burning from cycling. As I was sitting around not allowed to do anything, my body kept craving the additional calories. 10 lbs in 6 weeks was bad for me at my height 5' 6".
Keep driving that weight down for better health. Exercise is critical not just diet alone will do it all. Stay away from the fad diets too. Healthy eating combined with regular steady exercise is the key. My new personal goal is to be at 155 by March. Keep pushing yourself
