2sweetnsugarland 9 Posted June 1, 2011 Last night I was on a mission. I wanted to wear jeans to work today so I dug in my closet and pulled out every pair of jeans that I had. Honey I gave away 13 pairs of jeans last night!!! :D I would try on a pair, run to the mirror, see that they were too big -- then the music would play in my head!! At first it was very faint and then it got louder and louder and that's when I would do the Shimmy Shimmy shake until the jeans fell off my body!!! I was cracking up so hard and making such a ruckus my husband had to come upstairs to make sure I hadn't completely lost my mind! :lol: I told him my "dilemma" and he was like, "Well I guess you have to go shopping then!" You don't have to tell me twice! ;) As soon as I get off work this afternoon I'm making a B-Line to the nearest Ross [my favorite store in the world] and buy me some cheap jeans cause I don't plan on being in a size 16 for long. Heck I may even buy me some 14s and 12s . . . well maybe not the 12s but it sure feels good thinking that I can buy some and get into them in a few months! I'm soooooooooo glad I got this sleeve!!! It has really been a life saver. I used to take 5 pills a day and now I only take 1 pill a day and it's at the lowest dosage!!! Praise God!!! Just wanted to share my little happy story with you all!! Take care!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

misspatrice 5 Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats! And Ross has become my favorite store now too! I can always find something on the clearance rack. My advice would be also to definitely check out the dresses. The are usually super cheap and even if you lose 10-15 lbs you can still wear it . . . I've gave away so many clothes it's almost bittersweet. It's (finally) fun to shop again. But you don't wear the clothes for too long. Congrats again!

Nancy Rivers 24 Posted June 1, 2011 That's awesome! Congratulations!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Me Up! 75 Posted June 1, 2011 Fantastic!!! I remember when I finally had to give away my whole closet because of the loss. I was wearing sad, baggy clothes and I looked terrible. I learned my lesson, though. DON'T BUY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF ANYTHING! Once you start to lose, you will be buying new clothes every 4-6 weeks. It's awesome and irritating all at the same time. Congrats to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candace2314 117 Posted June 2, 2011 Yay!!!! That's awesome! If you like skinny jeans, I would say try Forever 21 they have a plus size section and I just bought 2 pair of size 16's for $12.50 a piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time I go in there I head straight for the accessories cause I didn't think they had anything to fit me. I'm going there this weekend!!!! Thanks for the tip!
