NSV! I bought LEVI'S NOT Lane Bryant!!!



Recommended Posts

Just tooting my own horn here! Today I had NOTHING to wear, because all of my pants looked awful on me. So I took off my size 24 jeans from Lane Bryant (I didn't even have to unbutton them!) and slid on a pair of size 18 Levi's that I bought without trying on 3 years ago. They have NEVER fit me before! NEVER. I'm pleased as punch! They didn't even give me muffin top! So, now that I can wear Levi's I'm vowing to stay out of Lane Brant for the rest of my life! Oh the joys! My goal is now to be in a size 16 by September. Horray for me!

Congratulations!!! That is so awesome. I have been cleaning my closet in reserve also. I am happy to say that I am in a regular size 14 now. I am hoping to be in a 12 by Halloween.

Congrats! It is such a good feeling. I said goodbye to LB a while ago and haven't looked back. Its still an adjustment for me. I feel like I'm still kind of holding on to my past. There is a store I go to that is half plus size and half regular size. I will browse both sections but the last time I bought two shirts they came from the regular size section.

I'd love to be there! I have two major problems in buying clothes. The first is my upper arms. I can fit in a size L tank top in the body, but the armholes are too small to accommodate the flab that still hangs there. The other is my belly. Pants that fit at my belly, are way too big in the butt and legs, but pants that fit my butt and legs are too small in the belly.

One other problem is work clothes. I can get the pants in the Misses section but need a top from the plus section (because of the sleeves) and often you can't get the same thing in both sections to make a match. The only company I have found so far that does, is Alfred Dunner, but only a few coordinate sets are in both size departments. Buying clothes right now is SO frustrating! I fear I'll never be able to fit into a misses size sleeve because the more I lose, the more it hangs. Since our pool opened Memorial Day weekend, I've been swimming and doing all kinds of Water exercises for an uninterrupted hour daily to try to whittle it down, but it just keeps on hanging. I swear sometimes that it's hanging lower and lower, although I could be imagining it since I'm so frustrated by it. The exercise is also trimming up my butt and legs, adding to the pants problem. And when will these side boobs go away? I look fine from the back when I'm braless, but if I put on a bra, I look great in front, but from the back you can't help but see the side boobs sticking up and over the bra. Yuck! The main thing keeping me going right now is that I feel better. The clothes thing just depresses me.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
