To start off, I went to the Dr. for my second fill on New Year's Eve. I was both thrilled and upset that my Dr. said he wasn't going to give me a fill. He said I was losing weight much faster than others and that there was no need and was happy about my progress. I, of course, going into the appt., didn't think 6lbs in 3 weeks was such an accomplishment, but I guess so! At least I'm consistently losing at this point, I am happy for that. But of course, don't we all want it to go away faster? lol

So, on to the NSV. I went to a local thrift store today in search of some lighter clothes for my trip to FL next week. To my surprise, I saw a Burberry peacoat on the rack and decided to give it a try, after thinking, nah, it will never fit. I've never fit into nice peacoats, ever...unless men's, and obviously very bulky and horrendous looking. To my surprise, it fit...even with my bulky sweatshirt on and to add to that, a Burberry coat for $6! Woo hoo Not to mention, I also purchased a few shirts and pants...which I NEVER find anything to fit me, or I just hated my body so much before that I wasn't excited about buying new clothes. Down from a 22 pant size to a snug 16 now and it feels so good

what a great story/post. outstanding success. very very proud of you.

wonderful way to start a new year! Congrats!

NSV's are the best!! Congrats

Peacoat??? Uh, congrats I think? Don't know what a peacoat is but as long as you're thrilled!

There are a few on here who have not had a fill at all since surgery and are losing weight continuously. CarolinaGirl is one of them. I envy her for the fact that she has a plan B to fall back on should plan A slow down or falter. She said she's always got the fill to fall back on if all else fails.

As long as you're losing weight and not suffering from not eating enough, I have to agree with your doc. Good job!!

Oh so happy for you!

I long for the day I never have to buy men's anything!!!

Keep in mind Florida is not always warm in the winter. 47 her two days ago, so bring the peacoat!

Just remember FL not always warm in winter. 47 two days ago!

That's shorts weather for me It was 10 today in NH and that was without the wind factor.

Exactly! 47 degrees, that's a heat wave! Lol. We are headed near Miami which has been mid 70's-80's considering upstate NY is -20 right now, I am OK with even 47! and to the one who asked what a peacoat is...lol, it's a nice, dressy wool coat, usually navy or black. Think of the dress coats that the navy boys wear...needless to say, a coat I could never ever squeeze the "girls" into LOL the girls are now a little deflated, but I'm not complaining! Haha

It's about 46 right mow in central FL

Awesome NSV. I love clothes shopping now.
