Well, this is really a two-in-one NSV....

I buy alot of my clothes at the local thrift store. My DH and I went there looking for a pair of pants and he said--"hey you should go over and look at the blazers--they are free today". I made a face--like, how good can they be if they are free???, but I trotted over there anyway. Lo and behold, I found a bright red ST JOHN blazer--size 16 and it fits me like it was MADE for me! WOoooohooo!

Then, I decided I needed something decent to wear with my new fance schmanctzy blazer, I walked into our higher end ladies's shop (where before, I couldn't fit into anything they sold) and the sales lady asked me what I was looking for. I told her I needed a pair of dressy black slacks. She asked what size and I said 16. She brought me a pair and they were way too big! She brought me a 14--TOO BIG! She brought me a 12 and they fit (but are miles tooo long)! A 12!.

I haven't done anything spectacular in the arena of actual pounds lost in the last few weeks--so this just proves that if you are moving, your shape WILL change!

A 12!

Still can't believe that!

How exciting!!!! Congratulations! A 12!!! I can't wait to find out what that feels like!

Wow, that must have felt great! I believe I hopped right into 16's when I was a child, so I've never known that feeling, but I can guess that it feels amazing!!

Awesome, a size 12, what a Christmas present to yourself. Keep up the good work.

I also show in the second hand shops, love them. You go girl.

Now you must post a pic of your self in your new blazer and pants !!
