I had to buy a new coat today! My old coat is a Women's 2X and is now completely too big for me. I tried on several different styles and ended up getting a long black wool coat in a SIZE 12!!!! I am so tickled, I love this darn band!!! It is so great to shop in regular sizes and have so many choices!!! Just wanted to share a happy moment!

WOW!!! Hugs Lianna and way to go girl!!

Contratulations. How great is that? I finally got back into my old wool coat that I haven't been able to wear for 2 years. That felt great, but I can't wait to be where you are and actually shop for a new coat in the regular sizes.

I finally broke down last year and bought a new coat after many years....kept putting it off - just knew I'd lose weight some day! It was end of the year clearance so never wore it. Now this year it just wraps around me. Soooo....here I am again with no coat. But you think I'm complaining? Heck, no!!! I'm too happy to have lost 100 lbs to complain about anything!!!

I got my coat out to wear the other morning when we went to cut firewood, and it is huge!!! I had on old clothes, wood cutting is dirty work. My loving DH told me, that with my baggy jeans and coat I looked homeless. I guess that means he wants me to go shopping!!!

Congrats on a size 12---great work---good for you!!!

Thanks everyone! I think I get so used wearing the newer things that fit, that when I pulled out that coat it was almost overwhelming the difference in size I was last fall. These little moments are what really drive it home for me!!!

Oh how I can't wait to be in your shoes!! I just took out my coat from last year and it's too small! I just want to be banded so badly!!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

The clothes get more fashionable, and we get many more choices when we're in regular sizes.

YAY for YOU !

Happy day. I've lost 30 pounds since June 2nd. Does this sound slow? It does to me but, I sure feel better. Thanks, Julia
