I don't know of any stores here in Australia that do that. Can't they tell if its been washed a few times?
I have just brought 2 simple outfits in my new size and will just wear these till I absolutely need some smaller ones.
You could always eBay the hardly warn ones that are to big.

Wozzer! You lost it all off your belly! That was the hardest part for me to lose from. You are looking great, and I bet you feel so much better already! Congrats! Good luck in the months to come!

Have you guys seen this website? http://ilostwhat.com/
Who wants to have a go at posting what your results were and how many weeks sleeved you are?

I have lost a mid sized wolverine. 7/30 sleeved

This is my loss 4 weeks sleeved

I'm glad you got lots of support She sounds jealous and not worth your time!

So twice today I have heard "wow! You have lost a ton of weight! You look great!"
Now I should be thankful for the you look great part. But I have not lost a ton. There may have been days where I felt like I weighed as much as a blue whale. But I have not lost 2,000lbs.
Why can't they just say a lot of weight? Why must the amount of weight lost be similar to that of an elephant?

So I went shopping with my mom today, and she wanted to stop in Talbot's to return something. I browsed while she did her return. I was looking at some jewelry when this OBNOXIOUS sales lady comes up and says "Can I help you with anything?"
Me: "No thanks, I'm just browsing."
B*: "Ok, well, the Women's section is over there."
Me: WTF did she just say??!?!?
Ummm, where do you get off pointing me to the Women's section? I'm looking at jewelry, you have no idea WHY I'm in your store, AND you don't even know what size I wear!!! I happen to be a baggy 14, on my way to a 12, so STUFF your Women's section!!!
Seriously, I was so pissed she said that! I didn't say anything, just turned around & walked out. Then I started thinking, 'you know what, that's the OLD me. I don't have to take this sh*t anymore, I'm going back in there.'
So I did.
But instead of telling HER what I thought, I told her manager. I told her "I've worked REALLY hard to lose weight, and I am finally in a size that regular stores have, and it's really exciting for me to come into a store that doesn't specialize in plus sizes and actually be able to buy things! Until today. Until YOUR sales lady made a split second judgment about me and assumed I would need to shop in the plus sizes. And you know what? I will NEVER come back. You lost a potential customer today because that women ASSUMED something about me without even bothering to ask. For all she knew, I could have been shopping for a gift. Or the jewelry I was looking at. OR I COULD WEAR A SIZE THAT ISN'T A PLUS!!!"
She offered me a 25% discount. I told her to keep it, I would never come back. But she should tell that sales lady to change her approach and not do that to anyone else!

Sounds like you need a new way to de stress yourself :/ Maybe a boxing bag! Just don't be to hard on yourself and try harder tomorrow.
Just wondering does the beer cause you pain since its carbonated?

I would like to just be in photos with my family without hating it!

I hope you do incredibly well. Just remember to take it easy. I felt a false sense of "I FEEL OK" and overdid it a few times. Allow your body to rest & heal. Good luck!

Oh yeah my back side was hysterical... But probably more accurate!

I used a heating pad and heating blanket the first 3 months because I was so cold. Colder than I had ever been in my life. I put the pad on my stomach and I was alright. Take it easy, this is your time to heal and get better. Take the word of an old lady, the dirt will always be there.

Cool! A good idea to pass some time, I have been looking at clothes and hair styles it's kinda boring having to rest and waiting for the weight loss lol.

So I've been getting really disheartened with my slowing loss so I've started looking at my old pics. Wow. Yeah... to all those disheartened? Just keep swimming, swimming swimming! What do we do? We swim swim swim!
