babygirl901 173 Posted September 4, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsCook 38 Posted September 4, 2012 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!

shrinkingDEE 60 Posted September 4, 2012 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 3 Cheryl Barfoot, Amazeyem and berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissette2022 53 Posted September 4, 2012 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 Surgiversary 8/27/12 @ 255lbs (Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristy3k 1,133 Posted September 4, 2012 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- :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker_gurl 119 Posted September 8, 2012 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! 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted September 8, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommytyree 98 Posted September 8, 2012 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! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracym1107 47 Posted September 8, 2012 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! 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
