So, for the first time since the mid-90s, I purchased size 1x shirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOHOOO!!!!

WOOOOHOOOOO JULIE!!!!!!! That is so wonderful!!!!

You are doing so well!!!! Before you know it you will be in "regular" stores!!!! OMG what an experience to be able to walk into any store and get something that fits!

I had that exact same experience... only my mom was with me. I said.. Mom, I don't think my pants fit right... I think they are too big. She came in the room with me... and I ended up having to get a size 16 (mind you... I hadn't bought any clothes that were smaller than at 22) I did not expect to be in a 16... now I'm getting size 12! It's crazy. BUT, one thing I will tell you.... DON'T buy too many clothes in a smaller size just because it's thrilling. I have so many pants in size 16 becaue I went over board. Get just what you NEED. Try to find clothes that are a little tight, and have elastic bands. You will thank me when you are no longer in them, and still have money for the next size down!

could someone tell me how to move my ladybug? i tried everything and can't figure it out......................thanks:glare:

Congrats to you all!!! what a wonderful feeling!! Can't wait to share my losses as well. Thanks for the inspiration!!

I think you click on it and it takes you where you put in your code and update. not sure though.

When I was loosing, I loved to get one new outfit a month, to help keep me on the right track. Now that I have had my first set of complications (and am gaining weight) I am in a size that I have no clothes for cause I gave them to my friends that were the same size as I was. But I am scheduled to have my band fixed (soon I hope) so I can get back to my 18's... (I started in a 34).

We are getting ready to start a support group in my town and I am going to try to start a clothing exchange along with that. I know I have a load of professional type clothes that I will be moving back into and probably out of pretty quickly that I would hate to just get rid of. I think (hope) a lot of people could benefit from it.

clothing exchange is an awesome idea!

Our support group has the clothing exchange. It is nice to get a new outfit or two. If u don't have alot of money to shop for clothes u can always go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army to get slothes while u are "Shrinking". That will save u some money till u get to a size that u want to but a wider wardrobe in. Just an idea for ya all
