I don't have to shop in the "plus size" section



Recommended Posts

yippeeee

i am now well and truly in the normal sized section ... ok i am still a XL .... but at least i don't have to limit myself to clothes in the "plus size" section.

i have been able to drag out clothes that i haven't worn in years ... including above the knee skirts.

i just feel so good. i still have a long way to go, but i can see the weight reducing most everyday!

i have in the past brought clothes thinking "it will fit soon" ... now i buy clothes a size or two too small and i know i will be in them in a month or so. It is just so exciting.

yay for meeeee!!!

love to hear your stories ... and successes

Congrats to you! I know what you mean. My loss is about 24 pounds, but thanks to a membership at Contours I am also down 4 inches (after the pounds), and I am pulling jeans out of my closet that haven't fit in so long. I was shocked to discover that I had to buy my dress pants in the juniors section at Fashion Bug. I was just so used to having to buy things big. What a great change!!!! Of course I still have to wear a 14/16 top because I am busty. It is so wonderful to watch your body transform into what it used to be or what you want it to be!! Keep up the good work.

Hi Tracy,

Congrats, I know how you feel, I have exhausted all of my old jeans, they are all too big now. I am so glad I don't have to shop in the plus size section anymore, they are all so shapeless. Buying off the rack is a new phenomena - trying things on is too hard for me now, I'm glad I can give it a miss.

kellygirl, i so agree with you. plus size clothing is alot more money than regular size. i don't want to be a size 2 or anything if i can be a size 12 or 14, would have reached my goaled. i'm also getting banded in may but on the 29th

What an awesome NSV!! I'm so close! I can buy XL tops at normal stores now, but my bottom half (really just my bottom) still won't squeeze into anything smaller than an 18.

It does so much to one's self esteem to get out of the plus sized stores! Nothing against Lane Bryant - they've been good to me over the years....but it is time for me to move on!

Bean Bean, I know what you mean. I told my dr that I am not trying to be a swim suite model! Everyone in my family is extremly thin and i DO NOT want to be walking around in a 4/6. An 11/12 works for me anyday! Good luck with your procedure at the end of the month!

Congrats, I find myself walking the plus section. Does anyone else find it hard to get it their head that they are getting smaller? I have people at work telling me it's time to give up some of my clothes. I have to give them away to keep myself from wearing them.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
