Mandi,

Reitmans has regular sizes up to 15 as well as a section of plus sizes. I think theri stuff is a little roomier as I usually wear a 16 or 18 in some stores, but I can fit their 15 or W14 . Go figure.

Congrats on the weight loss , that is so wonderful !!!

I forgot to tell you guys this:

Another step in the New Mandi Project - new glasses!

I was at Walmart the other day, and whilst waiting for my bud to pay for her Halloween supplies, I wandered into the optical area of Walmart. I tried on a few frames... found one I really liked, saw the price (supa-cheap), and asked if I could buy them. Just the frames though. He wanted to give me the grungy 'demo' pair, but I asked if they could get me some brand new ones. They came in today, I picked them up, and I'm very excited. The ones I have now are black, but I have problems with them. I feel like I need to dye my hair really dark to 'pull them off'.. or else they're too overwhelming for my face. I dunno. These new ones are brown. More rectangular than my current ones.

Now I need to make an appointment to go to the optometrist. Apparently there's one nearby who will bill my insurance (instead of making me pay, and then me sending a claim in to get my money back). They'll cover my eye exam, and $150 for new glasses. I figure, I can probably get "ok" lenses for $150, don't you think?

I keep thinking, I wear these things all day, everyday, so I shouldn't cheap out on them. BUT, then again, my last ones were $70 frames from costco, and they've served me well for about 2 years. I'm not really even paying for these, so... ehh.. I won't worry about it. I shall post pictures. Maybe some comparison before and after glasses pics!

That is great Mandi; they sound nice. More rectangular frames are better suited for rounder faces....(dunno if you have a round face, just sayin'!). I have a round face, so rectangular frames suit me.

I don't scrimp on glasses either; been wearing them since I was 8 yrs old. I got contacts at 18 and wore them mostly but the last year or so I wear my specs more than my contacts (way more!). I have about 5 pairs of prescription glasses now (2 are in my most recent script....but I can still wear the others if not for a long time).

I am pretty much blind (seriously) without my glasses, so my lenses cost a lot. Plus mine are progressives (cha ching!) and I need to get high index (cha cha cha ching!!!) otherwise I'm wearing SUPER coke bottles. So, $150 would soooooo not cover my lenses; mine cost well over $600. But for "regular" lenses, it should be pretty close.

But, as you said....they are a part of you.....so that is why I always just get what I like when it comes to the frames; regardless of price. I especially love my funky pair!

Anyways, yay you!!! The new Mandi!!!! LOL

Glasses can completly change your look. They can be alot of fun.

Hey Mandi, how long has it been since you were in the one hundreds?

Probably when I was about 5.

Just kidding. No, I seriously have no idea. I don't even remember being below 230... so this is all exciting for me! I stayed away from scales for a good chunk of my life. I remember weighing something like 110 when I was 11, and lying to my friend telling her I was 89 (for some reason ;)).

I think you are right to get the new frames. The right frames can seriously improve one's looks. And you wear your glasses all the time so you may as well spend the money and have the best ones.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
