I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I say just take the card and say thanks. If your ticker is current we're very close to the same weight. I just bought some jeans at Lane Bryant last week as well as some undies. They also had a lot of draw string pajamas there that will last through a few different sizes. Plus right now if you buy winter things you'll have clothes to wear for the winter. By spring/summer you'll be wearing clothes from a different season anyway.

My mom asked me just the other day if I wanted an LB gift card for Christmas. I had to remind her that I am having surgery next year so I didn't want to but a lot of clothes right now.

At first I felt like maybe she didn't believe me that I was going to go through with it.

She did say, "Oh ya that's right." So then I told myself that I have been wearing LB since I was 12, thats years old not the size. So this will take some getting used to for everyone.

Remember too that LB starts at size 14. I'm a 22-24 right now so if I got to a 14 I would be happy and still maybe shop at LB.

My goal of course like most of us is to be able to shop anywhere, and not be retricted.

Ok I see what the consensus is !!! I'm glad I took pause before I opened my mouth!!

I appreciate all of your input.

Ang- Yep my mom is average sized, she lost 120 lbs years ago, so she has forgotten some of the tribulations that go along w/ being obese.

When I was a teen I lost 135 lbs on my own over a 5 year period, but like most ppl. I could not keep it off. So when I started talking about surgery she just didn't get why I couldn't do what she did.

Leena- No Flames here! Congrats on your weight loss you are doing a fantastic job!! Yep we're almost the same weight, although I am really tall for a woman. I've started to pull out some of the clothing that I wore before I was pregnant and have noticed that my top is already down to a size 18 but my bottom is still larger.

I'm thrilled to see the numbers on my clothes and scale go down for the 1st time in years !!!
