I have a NSV to report. Today I went into Marshalls and bought a size L top and size 16 jeans (from the misses section). Neither one was from the plus size department! I realize that I can still buy plus size clothes or squeeze into "normal" clothes. I was thinking of looking in the plus section. But then I thought to myself, I never want to wear plus size clothes again. It feels so good to realize how I took my body from a 2x top and 26 bottom to L top and 16 bottom. :embaressed_smile:

congrats!!!

Congratulations!! I am right there with you. I can now get on my size 18 jeans and have been unable to for the last 5 years!!

Way to go keep up the tremendous job you are doing and you will be at goal before you know it!!:shades_smile:

That is awesome news! See ya Lane Bryant and Avenue!!!

...........and i was happy to sit in the bath tub this morning and not have my hips touch both sides of the tub, woo hoo!! even tried and it wouldn't happen, yeah!!! g2s

I am right there i started in a 22 and 2x top I bought a 16 pant and a xl top 2 wks ago and I wore a 15 jean last night and they weren't even stretch jeans I was so excited. Isn't is wonderful everyone. I love my Band best thing I ever done for myself.

I'm right there with you all. In the past week I've bought tops and a skirt in size XL and I can't remember the last time that happened. Maybe 20 years ago. It is so nice, I can hardly believe it! I really want to buy some jeans, but with spring/summer coming I figure it would be a waste. I'm looking forward to summer clothes and maybe even a swim suit.

My next goal is I want to hit onederland before June 1st. That's another 20 pounds, which should be doable. I haven't seen my parents or brothers and sisters for over a year and they haven't seen the new me. That will happen in June and I'm quite excited. Wish me well.

Thanks for all the support.

nip, onederland is my next goal too...isnt it amazing how we can fit into these smaller sizes??
