The BEST NSV for me EVER!!!

Jennie1976 · March 3, 2008

I just had to share!

Several years ago, I got down to about 240. I tried on a pair of jeans from Lane Bryant that were a size 20 and was VERY surprised that they fit. Then I remembered that Old Navy has size 20, so my best friend and I went there to see if I fit into them. She's about a size 0, so I felt okay being in there because even if they didn't fit, I could pretend we were shopping for her. Well, they didn't fit, and, before I got down to that size, I started gaining weight again. It never happened, and my friend went back to Indiana (where she lives).

Well, last Friday I was going by Old Navy again. I am only about 10 pounds lower than where I was before. I must be losing weight again because (and I have to put the caps lock on for this): NOT ONLY DID I FIT INTO THEIR CLOTHES, BUT I WASN'T EVEN THE LARGEST SIZE!!!!!!!!!! (okay, caps lock over).

I couldn't believe it! I had to resist the urge to buy everything in the store!

Okay, that's my coolest non-scale victory for me ever and I had to share. Thanks for reading!

Congratulations Jennie!! That's wonderful! I will be so excited when I'm able to shop in some "normal" stores! It feels good doesn't it!

Jennie - You've given me a new store to try! I've tried Lane Bryant, but their jeans are funky now (anyone else been there lately?) I wanted to know if I fit into 18's now, so next store to try: Old Navy!

They still have real sizes, right????

AWESOME! Old Navy is tops! I cant wait till I can fit their 20's and 18's. I fit Xl's in their shirts but the bottoms are still a 2 sizes off.

Gloucester, yes Lane Bryant has gone insane. I am so glad that I am leaving them. My Lapband broke us up.:drool:

Pretty sweet NSV Jennie!

wow....i'm down to 211 and my size 20's are starting to get cleaned outta my closet (as of today actually)...most of them are just too baggy to be comfortable anymore...i wonder if i can hit up Old Navy now! that would totally ROCK! i've only gotten to buy clothes for my hubby & son in there and NEVER for myself!!! wow, i'm totally going to try it out!

i'm thinking i'm going to need 18's AND hoping that some 16's will fit, depending upon where i shop.

most of my shirts are now 16/18 but most of the pants i owned were down to a size 20. with the exception of the pair i'm wearing now, which is the smallest i own, and they're an 18 but not fitting 100% like i want them too....they're getting to become too big too. probably will only be able to wear them and still look decent for another week or two.

i feel a SHOPPING TRIP coming on!!!

thanks for the NSV!!! now i know i can try a new store!!! so excited!
