Hi all!

I just wanted to share another SUPER milestone in my lapband journey!

I went shopping today and tried on my old size..WAY too big! I tried on 2 full sizes smaller and it FIT. I tried on over 20 things (tops, jeans, etc) and they all FIT comfortably. I cannot tell you how exciting that is.

On top of that, I went to Lane Bryant and tried some things on. I tried on the 14/16's and they fit comfortably (in general) but nothing looked great. As I walked out of the store, I knew and vowed that I would NEVER STEP IN A LANE BRYANT again!!

It was a moment I KNOW I will remember for a very long time, and I mean it. Let me tell you people, when I can fit into a size "L" I think I will throw a block party. I love my band and my new healthier life! Just had to share, thanks for your support during our journey's together!

Congrats! It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? I went to Old Navy and tried on a pair of size 20 pants....they fell off me. I tried an 18 and those were loose in the waist but fit me nicely everywhere else. A size 16 fit in the waist but was a little tight in the legs. This was two weeks ago. The size 16 I bought now fit! I also tried on a coat at the Gap in a size XL and it FIT! Woo hoo! I haven't been able to shop outside the plus sizes in 12 years. I love my new size!

Congrats ... I have a full section of my closet that is non plus size clothing that I have bought over the last year. I am totally ready to be able to put on one of those pairs of pants and have it fit me I know that just being able to shop at a regular store is one of the greatest feelings yet and I am so happy for you!

[coloradobanding 5]

Thank you all so much for the words of congratulations and support, it means SO much! For those who have experienced what I have, WOW, GREAT WORK! For those who are on their way, I cannot begin to tell you how completely exciting it is and how much you have to look forward to.

I literally feel like a brand new person that people don't look at like "what is that fat chick doing shopping here", but literally, "wow, I wonder where she got that outfit, it's so cute"

Thanks again and I look forward to those of you on thit thread experiencing the exact same thing, over and over (as we keep shrinking)

For the first time in years I actually enjoyed swimsuit shopping yesterday! I'm far from looking good in a swimsuit for sure, but last year's 3X granny suit was too tight and I ended up buying a comfy XL tankini for this year!

Feels so good to try on a size that I think will fit and find it's too big, can't even describe the emotion!

Thats so funny, when I saw this post I couldn't believe it! I wasn't alone in thinking the same thing! I told my husband at the begining of this, "I know I am successful when I never shop at Lane Bryant again!" Thank you for the words of advice and congrats on making it as far as you have!

I missed Lanes when I couldn't wear her clothes anymore. They have a great selection of nice clothes. But what a wonderfull feeling not to have to wear that size any more. I've lost 100lbs and love myself.!!!!! Always look for me clothes instead of everyone else. Is that BAD???
