I went to Lane Bryant on Saturday. I bought a pair of pants and 4 tops for $116. Only 1 top was clearance. I don't think I'd find anything as nice for that amount. Regular priced was 40% off and another 15% off everything if you work in a medical profession.

When you have a G cup, you don't really get a lot of choices in cheap bras.

What a $60 bra from Soma can do your silhouette, is worth a million bucks.

When I get my band size down to a 36, the first thing I am buying is a bra from Agent Provocateur.

The Danskin workout clothes at Walmart (not the sports bras but the other stuff) are just as good as some of the workout clothes I have spent 10X as much on. There are lots of things I won't buy there, but I'd rather spend $12 on compression leggings than $85. Something that close to your body with all the heat is going to break down at the same rate.

Plus, most of this stuff is all made in the same factories with the same materials, the only difference is the labels and the marketing.

I've been wearing Danskins for decades. When I saw Walmart carrying the line I could only wonder if it was as good a quality. You know what? It is very close. Because of that, Walmart routinely gets my money for their leggings and tops. "Regular" sized or "plus" sized- I've bought them all. They hold up for years. For $12 a pair of Capri workout pants to last that long- unheard of but true. They will continue to get my money until I can nicely fit back into Lulu Lemons- and beyond.

I have been a Lane Bryant buyer for several years now. I earn reward points every quarter and they send me a check for it. It can of course only be used at Lane Bryant. I will usually luck out and get one right when they are having a 40% off everything in the store, or in combination with a $25 off of $50, $50 off $100, or $75 off $150. If you know how to work it, you are really paying no more for quality clothes then you would at a discount department store.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
