Tonight I was at my daughter school Christmas play, and all these moms had on tall boots, leggings and these precious long sweaters... and they looked perfectly put together... Next year... I wanna have legs that look good in leggings and boots!

I am not sure what I will wear but since my loss I have not been asked to play Santa.

I hope to be able to shop and wear what ever I want and feel good doing it.

Before my operation I went into Macy's and talked to all the suits that were too small for me, which was all of them. I told them, "I'll be back!"

A year later I came back and bought 2 of them. One of them is displayed on my "after" picture on my profile.

You can do it!!!!!

Good for you

I have longed to wear a dress to Christmas parties. Something short and festive!

I know that for the first time in too long to remember I bought a shortish dress for New Year's Eve and tights. I could never manage myself 75 pounds ago squeezing my legs into pantyhose or tights and feel so uncomfortable all night. This year I am so looking forward to wearing them and heels. Love my clingy sweater dress too. You will be there too before you know it.

I just want to be able to walk into an Old Navy and be able to shop. I want to be in regular clothes and not be limited to online shopping and specialty plus size stores.

Next year, I want to wear leggings, cute boots and a dress above my knees. I can still wear that at 48, right?

AMEN!!!

My hope is to be able to wear something that didn't come from Lane Bryant!

I would love to wear a sweater dress with tall boots. I love that look.

Lane Bryant has always been a reliable staple, and I cannot wait to never step foot in that store again!!!!

Right there with you Jen!

There's a website called ModCloth that makes really cute, retro clothes. They have a plus size section, but I don't feel comfortable enough in my body right now to wear many of the items.

I want to be able to order a regular sized, cute, holiday dress from ModCloth that comes slightly above the knee, with cute, patterned pantyhose and cute shoes, not the ugly orthodic ones I've been forced to wear due to foot and knee pain.

For casual holiday get togethers, I look forward to wearing skinny jeans with a tunic that hugs my curves (not rolls mind you, but CURVES)

I love browsing at mod cloth but don't have the confidence to wear anything from there. And I really want to wear a pair of tall boots but even with previous weight loss attempts my calves have always been too big.
