Can You Hear Me!!!!!

Okay so I'm in the Goodwill with my mom and son, I was in search of the perfect shade of grey slacks. Well I pick up a size 8(which can I say I am thrilled to be able to fit), a size 6, and a size 4 that I knew no way in the world I would be able to fit. But hey my son said, "mom they look like they could fit you." I was thinking "Mmmhhmmm I don't think so."

Well sleeve family, I could not wait to get online to tell you guys that I not only got in the 8's, but I even got in the 6's -very comfortably might I add. But HELLO can you hear me, HELLO, I say, I even got in the size 4's.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love my sleeve. I love my sleeve.

I was in the dressing room jumping up and down. saying OMGosh I can actually fit a size 4 in slacks. And these were labeled from the "Express" store. I don't know how many of you have that in your area mall. But as a person who was tipping the scales at 298lbs I could only look at their clothes never try on or even wear, as it was made for skinny chicks.

Oh side note the size 6's were labeled from Talbots. Some of the women will understand why I am saying what store the clothes are coming from, as some stores clothes run smaller than others. So to wear a size out of a particular store is an incredible thing.

Sleeve-Land is an Incredible Thing.

Thanks you guys. I am constantly amazed everyday with this sleeve. It is amazing. And it is so nice to have others to share with that understand your happiness.

My sleeve birthday was Dec 14, 2010. I started at 298lbs and today I am at 175.6lbs. I want to share this gift with everyone I know that is struggling just as I did with losing/keeping off weight. I swear I thought I had missed the meeting on "how not to be fat." I spent countless dollars on products and different gimmicks. I am so greatful to have this tool. Now I feel that I can/am doing it and without fear of failure.

People dont understand unless they have been there through the hope of success with a new product/method and then ultimately, the failure.

Tearing up now I must stop. I just wanted to share. Let's all rock on with our sleeves.

awesome victory!!

I am so hearing you! I give away my "Express" coupons to my mom and sister since there is nothing there that fits me. I totally pictured you jumping up and down. What an awesome feeling that must have been. Yipeeee!

That is so so very exciting, congratulations!! This is also one of my biggest goals: to fit into a smaller jean size more than a weight. Yippee!!!:Banane02:

Congratulations to you!! That's a fantastic NSV, and I bet it did feel fabulous!

Your excitement poured out of my computer screen and I felt it. It made me cry a little. I look forward to this kind of happiness! Congratulations!!!
