It's amazing! :mad:

I've changed my sig because my numbers tell only a small part of the story. Today I went shopping and found that I'm in a new size range, yet again. THIS is a whole new one, for me, that I've NEVER worn as an adult. :confused:

HOOOOOOOOO-WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Uh-oh. Pretty soon you'lll stop dressing like the dedicated mommy you are and start looking like those Sex and the City types. I can see you already!

Excellent! I am so excited for you. I am still trying to get into the next size smaller. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Christine

Way to go, Alexandra! This is one of those times when all the hard work really shows...

Megan

Congratulations Alexandra!

I totally feel you on that...the scale hasn't moved for me for a few weeks yet I tried on my sisters size 14 jeans (2 pairs at that) and they fit fine...amazing isn't it?

Congrats Alex!!

Alexandra I am so happy for you that is the best news. I am looking forward to the same kinda of results, soon I hope.

Carolyn

Congrats, congrats!!! Whooooo hoooo! Although I'm jealous, 'cause I'm only 5'6", and now we're the same size... :cool:

Can I have everyone's fat clothes since I haven't had my surgery yet? Wouldn't it be great if we could just fax over our old clothes? Congradulations, what an amazing day for you.

Thanks everyone! It's easy to suspect that Avenue has adjusted its sizing upwards, because I still don't feel that I look any slimmer than I did 50 lbs ago. But there those labels are!

Not to worry, Donali, I'm only almost in the 18/20 range comfortably. I'm definitely in some 20 pants and my 22 jeans are falling off me. But when I had to exchange a tank top because the 22/24 was too big, that seemed to be a cause for celebration. The next size available in blouses, which do fit, is 18/20. Wow!! As Shelly says, there are definitely some advantages to being tall. :cool:

Shelly, has your length changed? I've always worn tall pants but recently they've seemed too long! So I tried an "average" length but they're too short. Now what do I do? :cool:

WTG Alex!!!!! Soon you'll be able to kiss the "Women's Sizes" goodbye forever!!!!!! WHile I appreciate that there are clothes in my size... I know I won't have a single problem kicking the plus sized stores to the curb! Maybe we will be able to pose in the catalogs for plus clothing as many of them use skinny women to sport big girl stuff.:cool: I bet you look MAHVELOUS DAHLINK!

I'm a five-tenner too... acutally, I'm five feet, nine-and-three-quarters tall. But to figure my BMI I had to use 5'10". I guess that means my BMI is acutally a little higher than 44. Damn weight obsession has me picking at the smallest details!

Hey, can someone tell me how to post my picture by my name and Avatar?

I think the only way you could get your avatar AND your picture to show together would be to combine them with a photo editing program and post it as one avatar. There is an accepted size for avatars - I don't recall what it is, but you can do a search on Google for "avatar size" and I'm sure you'll find it. Then in your photo editor just resize the combined avatar/photo to avatar size, and choose it from it's location on your harddrive by using "browse" when you go to change it here.

Good luck, Miss Panther!!
