Yes white dress is lovely and shows off your curves and waist.

[@beckyparker2530]

You truly DO look smaller in the white dress! I can't wait to see you all dolled up with the right undergarments for it! 💃 I'm so excited for you!!! 💋🥳

[@EricaLucasLoves]

@@beckyparker2530 thanks!

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Your weight isnt a reliable indicator. Youre clearing losing fat and gaining muscle therefore its not going to be weight changing but as youve seen size changing as your body mass is getting more toned and "condensed" same weight different size AMAZING job! Keep going!

[@EricaLucasLoves]

Thank you!!

[@kellypicard7927]

You have obviously lost inches and could take your measurements periodically to track your progress if you want to. Bust, waist and hips are the common ones. Congratulations!

[@katia_gabriella]

@@EricaLucasLoves ❤️ Weight loss needs to be called Body Recalibration!!!

[@AtoZenLife]

You prove that SMALL STEPS can make a BIG DIFFERENCE as always, Erica! (❤️ in decluttering and in weight, btw.) I was so excited to see this update, and it’s amazing that your weight hasn’t changed but you’ve dropped so many sizes, down to a 16. 👏👏👏 Congratulations and can’t wait to see even more of the journey

[@EricaLucasLoves]

Thanks!! I am so excited.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

You look amazing, Erica! Congratulations!!

[@EricaLucasLoves]

Thank you, Jennifer! ❤️

[@MikeyDonna]

The sundress cut and style are perfect for you. You look way slimmer in it than the other items. I know the excitement you are feeling. Been there done that. Love your honesty and courage to admit your weight and size. I always read that muscle weighs more than the same volume of fat so that’s why the scale doesn’t reflect inches. Your walking has built up muscles that you aren’t aware of. You will succeed because you have your entire KZbin sisters to keep you accountable. Donna, Mike’s wife.

[@EricaLucasLoves]

Thanks Donna!

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

The biggest change i notice is so much more positivity so much more self confidence and self awareness and Yay more smiles! So hapoy for you! This is the best change the mental one! 😊

It is likely you are experiencing recomposition - losing fat while gaining muscle. Congratulations! You are decluttering all aspects of your life. 💪🏻

[@dorothyyoung8231]

That summer dress is very flattering!

[@wandadavis2468]

Keep one pair so you can see how far you have come. Especially when you reach your goal

Love this idea!

[@leisure057blank3]

The polka dot one looks like it fits fine,and it will loosen in short order. It is very cute

[@ANNtique]

The white dress looks phenomenal! I wear white bike shorts under dresses. Does the same job as a slip but if it’s breezy it provides a bit of modesty. Congrats on your shape change. As a plus size woman on a weight loss and fitness journey, I totally appreciate the excitement. I have lost a few pounds which is great but I am more pleased with my shape changes than the number on the scale. I’m so happy you are sharing this part of your journey

[@susanshanks2407]

Well done!!!!! So impressed! Don’t be discouraged by the reading on the scale, your going down in clothes sizes, and even more importantly your body is getting the benefit of better nutrition and exercise!

[@roxanaconception]

I agree!

Thank you! The drop in size boosted me.

[@ThatPlacefkaNebraskaBugeater]

I love, love, love this video so much. Your excitement is contagious. You're beautiful inside & out. I found your channel by accident somehow about a week ago, & I've been binge-watching since. Hope to see more of your 100 walks countdown as well. You are an inspiration, & you have a lovely family. Grateful for your transparency & for all you do. Thank you, Erica.

[@EricaLucasLoves]

I am going to share again after 25 walks. 7 more to go this week!

[@marykeaton9373]

WOO-HOO! Way to go, Erica!!! I grinned and even giggled a few times throughout this entire video, your excitement was so contagious! I liked the polka-dot top and brown skirt, but the summer dress is killer! Keep up the great work with your self-care journey, and thanks so much for bringing us along! 👍😉💖

[@EricaLucasLoves]

Thanks Mary!

[@ChanDrewsLife]

I loved that you celebrate the small victories, no matter how small. It is the small victories that will get you to your goal. I am taking a life lesson with me today & you are such an inspiration! You go girl!!

[@angiejohnson3565]

You look so amazing Erica! That self that won’t get rid of the clothes that are too big- I’d call her our “fearful self.” Life is too short to live in fear, and by keeping those clothes, we are giving ourselves permission to stop those positive habits. You really taught me something today. Thank you!

[@paulacarey1917]

You are a NOOM queen with your fun attitude and how you are noticing changes and doing so much self motivation and rewards for non-scale victories.

[@EmilyHercamp17]

Such a GOOD reminder that our health journey IS bigger then the number on the scale! 😊 you ARE doing GREAT Erica! 💕

[@joanneconnor4319]

Erica when you lived in the other house and Andy was away, each video you made had you looking so overwhelmed and alone, however you were motivated to continue decluttering your huge pile, now it is so lovely to see the smile on your face all the time and I can just tell how much calmer within yourself and your belongings you are. Your hair, getting fit, happiness radiating out of you, you just look beautiful and proud!!! love from Jo in Australia. xxx

[@cornwallsharon81]

Your face when that zip went up. Just marvellous. That white sundress was the real stunner - you looked absolutely brilliant in that.

[@ruthlowrey3962]

The best kind of decluttering when our clothes are too big! Well done!

[@fbz2415]

Congratulations Erica!!!! forget the scale, keep walking and eating healthy you are already seeing the changes, well done!!!!

[@suemallette9951]

You could win for the most enthusiastic declutter! So excited for your progress!

[@lyndarossi933]

The look on your face was priceless when you tried on that new beige skirt! Congrats!

[@susannovak8263]

Got to love when your pants are loose! You’re doing fantastic! 🌷 The cream summer dress is beautiful on you. I also really like the polkadot top and the brown skirt. The top made you look very slim. I have found that if you wear clothes that are too big for you, they make you look bigger than you really are because of all the extra fabric.

[@natashatheresa]

This is true! The scale doesn't always tell the whole story, but the way your clothes fit does! You are so adorable when you are trying on your new outfits. It brings tears to my eyes. Great job and so excited for you!!!

[@girlonaswing9439]

I loved it when you said to your closet "Okay, what else?" as you pull out clothes that are too big. super excited for you.

[@GoingGreenMom]

For those that are still concerned about weight fluctuations and having the money to replace, consider styles that fluctuate with you. I vary 2 sizes in the course of a month, wrap skirts, empire waist dresses, bottoms with a drawstring that actually works are all great options.

[@tabilittlefield1326]

Wow! I am really impressed with how much you have slimmed down since you started walking! Don't worry about the scale so much at this point - as you get healthier, you inevitably build some muscle. The change in your clothes is awesome!

[@briannanovak7831]

I'm gonna tell you the same thing I just told "Hoader's Heart"...That was so much fun! I declare you the winner of the challenge!!. Same thing happened to me. I decluttered my house and then I suddenly had enough time, energy and confidence to declutter ME! I have lost 130 pounds and went from a size 24 to a 12. I totally get how much fun it is to get those loose clothes out of the closet. Congratulations to you!

[@goconnor0304]

Congratulations Erica! I have not been this excited before that someone ELSE is losing weight. I particularly love the white dress on you. You inspire!

I feel your joy Erica. So proud of you 👏❤. I found I was losing inches way before the scales moved. So please don't give up hope. I have a wonderful husband who really compliments me throughout which really helps. You are truly an amazing person ❤God bless you and family xxx

[@LynnS971]

I love how your minimalism journey is wider than just your things. You look fantastic and it’s terrific you are spending time on yourself. Personally, I don’t own a scale, and haven’t for most of life, because I can get fixated on the numbers instead of how I feel. As a almost 50-year old It’s more important for me to feel strong ( I like to strength train and do a variety of activity) and feel good in my clothes instead of being at a particular weight. Perhaps you want to minimize and donate your scale and just continue on with your good habits and exercise. Love that you are documenting your journey.

[@RemingtonPlayz]

I am so proud of you! I'm excited as you are about your weight loss. Keep is up Erica, you can do anything you set your mind to.

[@barbarahvilivitzky6747]

What an amazing, REAL person!!! Don't worry about your weight, as you said....it's the inches that count. Your excitement is catching!!! Thanks for this wonderful, real person video. I've subscribed and will keep watching. Imagine what it's like being OLD and trying to find clothes to fit - skinny in places, lumpy in places, saggy in places - most clothes made for teeny-boppers or the trendy young!!!! Thank God for thrift stores. Keep up the good work.

[@ritaty6181]

I am thrilled at your progress. I work at it. I was a bit bigger than you were a few years ago and lost 84 pounds. It wasn’t easy. And now I’m stuck. I have learned, that raising your heart rate burns calories. I’m mostly, and diligent about doing hi impact walking KZbin videos. It also takes time but it makes a difference. I’m pretty small on top. My weight hits my hips and thighs mostly.So the high impact walking exercises works for me. Good luck on your continued journey. You’re looking great

[@janeliseerickson1594]

[@2aeng]

Congratulations Erica. So happy for your achievement. Do not go by your scales. I learnt from a nutritionist that fat is like cotton. It does not weight much & even if you drop sizes, it will not necessarily reflect in the scales. The bones carry the majority of the weight. If you're building muscle, that will have weight too. Continue with your fitness journey & healthy eating. You can also work on toning your body. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@crystaleverets3602]

I just did a major declutter of all the clothes i have stored in hopes of fitting back into. I have been putting clothes in totes in my attic for the past 10 years. I have had 3 kids in that time frame and every time I think I will lose the weight and fit back into things. Obviously it hasn’t happened. So like you I am on a newly invigorated health journey, and also I have been on a minimal-ish journey like you. So I have decide to let go of everything in the totes and I will reward myself with new and on trend items when I lose the weight!

[@MinimalistHome]

Look at you!! Well done! Love the declutter too!

[@melissatamer9193]

That white summer dress looks absolutely beautiful on you. I can see it with a denim jacket as temps get cooler. That polka dot blouse looked amazing on you too. Way to Go!!

[@faith4390]

[@dianegriffen2756]

You are inspiring me so much. I have to loose 20-30kg ASAP or I won’t be able to walk anymore because of my disabilities and I’m not even 30 yet. It’s been very depressing for me but this video is giving me hope and making me excited about it. So thank you so much.

[@vintageresalemama903]

Yey, Erica! I'm so happy for you. It's true that dense muscle tissue takes up less space than fat, so this could be why you've dropped a size or two even though you've not lost that much weight yet. I'm sure you're building up muscle the more that you walk. I'm also a huge fan of intermittent fasting. It worked for me. Good luck on your journey.
