hellonurse 76 Posted June 22, 2012 My 17 year old daughter and I had a blast yesterday!! We went to Goodwill and spent almost $100. It felt so good to pick something out and buy it, bring it home and it looked fabulous on Just fitting was how I was getting by before!! I'm now in a size 10 in just 2 months post op. I was in a really tight 16 in April. I was sleeved on April 24, lost 45 pounds so far! Personal best will be another 35-40 pounds. That will put be in a normal BMI situation. It sucks that they do not figure for dense heavy bones when doing that "normal BMI" chart!! Some of us look small, but still weigh about 20 pounds more than folks guess we are!!

VACookey 111 Posted June 22, 2012 Awesome! I went shopping yesterday but didn't buy anything. I don't want to spend the money on something that won't fit me in a few months. But just trying on smaller sizes was a blast. I should try going to thrift shops but I don't even know where any are. I should probably look into that, huh?

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted June 22, 2012 I spent the money during my losing stages and wished later on I had went to the Goodwill. They do have some cute stuff there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassygirl06 962 Posted June 22, 2012 I like going to kohls and buying off their 60-80% off racks...some things as little as 2-3$. love the goodwill too! it is such a nice feeling to buy from the normal section instead of the plus size rack....they actually have more then one rack in the normal section! if you do spend the money to get yourself clothes that actually fit, in my opinion....it is a motivator because you feel better about yourself, and want to work ven harder to get to goal! good luck everyone! work those sleeves!!!
