kimpossible67 608 Posted January 1, 2015 My kid is in the military and left stuff that's stored. I was instructed to throw everything away except for a compound bow case. I found 2 really heavy duty warm carrhart type coats. Seriously warm. I washed them up, dried them and tried them on. They both fit and both labels read Large!!! I'm still just over 200 lbs. what a victory! Now I will round up my big coats and give them to a homeless shelter. Score! Happy 2015! It's January kids, I know many of you have your January dates, how exciting!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted January 1, 2015 Great news! I still get a thrill when I realise that I can buy stuff from the 'normal' rack - I've still got about 20lbs to go.. I'm a uk16 - maybe a US12 I think? What a great way for you to start the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still wearing a blue carrhart that's 11 years old and a 2 x. I can just get lots of layers on under it! I love it because the pockets are in the perfect spot, like a hoodie. I store stuff in there like a squirrel collects nuts lol. I'm very forgetful so when I go through my pockets it's like OH! That's where it went haha.
