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



Recommended Posts

Yippy, I too can wear regular sizes and I cannot remember the last time I was able to say that. I have now lost 43 pounds since Jan 08. I was banded 3/18. I love the changes in my body and look forward to even more. I feel better, I look better and I am so much more healthy, what is not to love about the band.

I also loved the comment about wanting to be 180 pounds and then as time passed she changed her goal to 135. Now, I cannot wait for so much success that I too can realistically set a lower weight goal for myself. With the band anything is possible.

It is wonderful to be able to shop the missy sizes, although I admit the styles are a lot trendier. Being in my 50's I think I got used to the "toned" down larger plus sizes (I hate to admit that).

I'm still finding my way around! :rolleyes2:

Congrats!!!

I'm now in size 12 and a L-XL.

I find myself not really knowing where to shop. I've had to shop in Plus size for so long I don't even know what stores have the best deals and my style. What is my style? :smile:

I'm still losing and hoping for PS within the year so I don't want to start a whole new wardrobe yet either.

I got a bunch of cute things for the summer at Target that were cheap but the quality doesn't seem to be that great.

Such a new world - :crying:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
