Hi all!

I just wanted to share another SUPER milestone in my lapband journey!

I went shopping today and tried on my old size..WAY too big! I tried on 2 full sizes smaller and it FIT. I tried on over 20 things (tops, jeans, etc) and they all FIT comfortably. I cannot tell you how exciting that is.

On top of that, I went to Lane Bryant and tried some things on. I tried on the 14/16's and they fit comfortably (in general) but nothing looked great. As I walked out of the store, I knew and vowed that I would NEVER STEP IN A LANE BRYANT again!!

It was a moment I KNOW I will remember for a very long time, and I mean it. Let me tell you people, when I can fit into a size "L" I think I will throw a block party. I love my band and my new healthier life! Just had to share, thanks for your support during our journey's together!

Thanks so much for sharing that. I felt your excitement through my computer!!

FANTASTIC!!!!! COBANDER...THAT IS AMAZING NEWS...YOU SHOULD BE VERY VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF...

CONGRATS.........................KERRIE

Yayyyy for you. I know that is a great feeling. Can't wait to get there myself!!!!

Congrats! It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? I went to Old Navy and tried on a pair of size 20 pants....they fell off me. I tried an 18 and those were loose in the waist but fit me nicely everywhere else. A size 16 fit in the waist but was a little tight in the legs. This was two weeks ago. The size 16 I bought now fit! I also tried on a coat at the Gap in a size XL and it FIT! Woo hoo! I haven't been able to shop outside the plus sizes in 12 years. I love my new size!

Congratulations! I can't wait until I can post the very same thing, but it will be a while for me! I'm still a 26!

wooo hoo coloradobanding

congrats its wonderfull to hear you are doing it.......keep up the success. LOL

WE ARE ALL A WORK A PROGRESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats ... I have a full section of my closet that is non plus size clothing that I have bought over the last year. I am totally ready to be able to put on one of those pairs of pants and have it fit me I know that just being able to shop at a regular store is one of the greatest feelings yet and I am so happy for you!

Thank you all so much for the words of congratulations and support, it means SO much! For those who have experienced what I have, WOW, GREAT WORK! For those who are on their way, I cannot begin to tell you how completely exciting it is and how much you have to look forward to.

I literally feel like a brand new person that people don't look at like "what is that fat chick doing shopping here", but literally, "wow, I wonder where she got that outfit, it's so cute"

Thanks again and I look forward to those of you on thit thread experiencing the exact same thing, over and over (as we keep shrinking)

For the first time in years I actually enjoyed swimsuit shopping yesterday! I'm far from looking good in a swimsuit for sure, but last year's 3X granny suit was too tight and I ended up buying a comfy XL tankini for this year!

Feels so good to try on a size that I think will fit and find it's too big, can't even describe the emotion!

Thats so funny, when I saw this post I couldn't believe it! I wasn't alone in thinking the same thing! I told my husband at the begining of this, "I know I am successful when I never shop at Lane Bryant again!" Thank you for the words of advice and congrats on making it as far as you have!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As your new friend, and fellow bander, I am very tickled at your success. It really makes me look forward to when I meet those. You are a source of great encouragement. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed Lanes when I couldn't wear her clothes anymore. They have a great selection of nice clothes. But what a wonderfull feeling not to have to wear that size any more. I've lost 100lbs and love myself.!!!!! Always look for me clothes instead of everyone else. Is that BAD???

Congrats to you!!!

i hear ya...i remember when i moved 2 sizes down...my mom kept telling me to stop buying so much since I was going to keep losing...i didn't listen to her and now i am upset that some clothes are too big...never in a million years did i think i would've had that problem. I went from a size 18/20 to 8/10.

Congrats1
