My first day wearing a size large shirt and pants

I have been going to planet fitness for the last four months as my hubbies guest. I joined yesterday as my own member and she gave me a large shirt. I kinda laughed and just took it thinking I will be able to wear it in a month or two. I came home and tried it on. It fit!!! On Thanksgiving I wore a pair of large yoga pants and they fit!!! I am so excited as I have not worn a large size since I was probably about 14(I am 40)!!! I worked out today, I did my first full body workout instead of just working my legs or arms. Then I tanned!!! Yes I have not done that since high school for a dance. But I want to look good as well as feel good and be tan is a goal as I have not worn shorts since middle school because I felt like I was to big to wear them. So I am going to be ready to wear shorts and maybe swimsuit shorts:) I am excited!!! Going to Atlanta over spring break and maybe it will be warm enough to swim which I have not done in 20 years!!

a little of both, don't want to look like a ballon in clothes that don't fit right, but everyone says they do:)

That is AWESOME! Congrats to you. Keep up the great work.

Congrats! I have just gotten into a large as well. It feels great to shop in the "normal" section. Many more choices and not having to look for the largest size is a kick! Now to control the shopping habit...

my budget is what is holding me back. I would love to get rid of all my XL and go shopping but it is going to have to wait till after Christmas and personal property tax at end of the year.

To quote Irene Cara (and whatever happened to her btw?): "Oh, what a feeling!"

Congrats!

What an awesome NSV.

My own experience is like yours, in that sometimes I look at clothes and do not believe they will fit ... AND THEY DO :)

Recently bought some shorts in size 44 (I used to wear size 60 pre-op). When I looked them, couldn't believe I could fit in something so tiny. Yet they fit.

PS Hoping your visit to HOT-lanta was a fun one.
