Fall Clothes!

[babygirl901 173]

Leggings are my BFFs right now. And today (drumroll please) I went into Fashion to Figure (a plus size store) and none of their smallest shirt fit right. I was only able to buy a pair of jeans from there. So I went into Forever21 (hated this store for a while' date=' could never find anything that fit me) and viola! I was able to buy 6 shirt size L. From 2x (sometimes 3x) to a Large!!!!! Woo freaking Hoo![/quote']

CONGRATULATIONS

Fantastic, ShrinkingDee! You are indeed shrinking and making wonderful progress. I bought a few pairs of smaller pants this weekend... mostly because I had to! Gotta have something to wear to work that isn't falling off and huge! I can't wait to be able to shop in "regular" stores and not be limited by the plus-size store selections. Keep up the great work!

Awww guys thanks. I'm tearing up here lol. It's a good feeling. It's these little accomplishments that really lift your spirits when you're in the dumps. We'll all be a bunch of hot and healthy mamas soon

All of u ladies are doing great! Today I was thinking that maybe after every 20lbs I lose I'll buy an outfit... Nothing crazy but just to kinda reward myself. I do have 22 pair of jeans vacuum packed but they're sizes 11-15 so until I get there I'll keep treating myself . Leggings are the best though. I lost 10lbs so far in 7 days since surgery, my leggings aren't snug n e more

Congrats Dee!!

I can't wait until I can wear my jeans tucked into knee high boots and not look ridiculous. Not this year but next!!

seriously was telliing my daughter this weekend that I am still wearing the same underwear from 114 lbs ago... looks like I have a pile of crap in my pants.lol!! I bought 2 pair of capris size 18 and 4 extra large shirts to wear to work and now they are too big... but I like most of you hate buyiing until I get where I need to be. I know I look bigger when I wear clothes that are too big for me. So its a catch 22. Definatly need to get some new underwear tho- :-)

My boss is a few sizes smaller than me and she had her surgery in July. She gives me a lot of her clothes for when I lose the weight. We work at a university so I get to inherit all of her school branded gear to wear. Much cheaper than ordering it from the bookstore!! That's a great idea about taking your bigger clothes to a support group and the resale shop!

Thrift stores and clearance racks will be my friend. I'm down over 40 pounds since I started this process but still don't have the confidence to even try on clothes in a store yet. Does anyone else find it frustrating how the same size differs depending on where you buy them? I'm looking forward to the day I actually like shopping for clothes. Slowly but surely it's coming

I know. I can wear xl-18....depending on how it's made and the material.

I plan on using thrift stores and good will till I'm at goal. Luckily I held onto a lot of smaller stuff so I am happy to be wearing my 2x stuff again! I'm down 53 lbs so far!

Thrift stores and Goodwill have saved me. I drop sizes so quick...I couldn't afford to pay full price. Also, clearance racks. It's a great feeling losing weight and dropping sizes....just wish I had more clothes!
