One of my goals is to tell Lane Bryant to close my account. I am still paying off the clothes I bought before I made the decision to have surgery, before April, and I only have $250 left. Well apparently they are sweating me not spending in over 6 months that I am being bombed with emails, text messages, mail and now a fancy new credit card. LOL cannot wait to make the call to close the account because I can no longer fit their clothes :-)

Sorry, I just needed to tell someone.

Lol I know how you feel to tell them so long will be amazing!

Surgery 7/25/12

I must admit, its scary too. With my size, I've never had a "style" its always been more about coverage then cuteness LOL so the limited selection at LB was enough, but after surgery I will be able to shop everywhere and its scary because I don't know what style I like! It will be overwhelming, but I cannot wait! LOL

now that is great. See it is the little things that bring us such great pleasure. Just one more NSV that you will get to do. Funny how they nearly beg for your business.

They have too begged! LOL guess I should be ashamed that I spent so much money with them that now when I am not, they are worried. LOL

We have so limited choices. I need a pair of jeans and I can't find any that fit right under 35-40 bucks. This sucks. I can't wait to tell them bye. :-)

It is robbery how much they charge for a pair of jeans for "plus" size folks.

And most still don't fit right or they thing we are all 12 or 80!

Thift store becomes your best friend

I am famous for my yard sale finds, I will be stoked when the outfits I find I can actually fit! LOL

LB is so dang pricey. Hate it when I need an outfit and it's the only place I can find something. Dang pair of pants and shirt cost well over $100 and that's even with their coupons. The pants are always flair or boot cut or wide leg too. Unreal!

I can't wait to get out of lb and into cheaper stores! It's not my business but a word of advice is to keep your account open with a $0 balance. It will be better for your credit score for many reasons. I can elaborate if you want.

Yes I know that it is better for your credit rating, however, I think I will gladly take the hit on this one! LOL Perhaps at least cutting the card up into itsy bitsy pieces would be better LOL

That is part of my motivation! I want to never have to go to lane Bryant again.

My new goal is to fit into something from this shop by my birthday in Feb. I went to Macy's and did not have to go to the plus size section. I could wear XL or size 16.

Miami- I went to thrift store and had a hard time finding any 16s. I saw a lot of sizes 10 and under. Thinking about trying Ross or Marshals?

We just got a Ross at our mall, I have yet to step foot in it. Much like all the other stores I have never explored because I know they will have nothing to fit me. Love Macy's purses! Cannot wait to shop their clothes! Much like other folks have said on this forum, I don't know what I'll do, not having to go into the plus sections any longer! What a wonderful problem we will have!

I can't remember the last time I shopped for myself and it wasn't in the plus size section. I have started a special savings account for some post op shopping.I think after the surgery I will take the money I spend on my biscuit on the way home from work in the mornings and put it in my clothing fund.
