Size 16!

I haven't been shopping in a couple of months... So went to Lane Bryant and the Avenue. I know the Avenue's size is a bit off, but I got a new pair of white jeans for 14.99 in a SIZE 16 -- I couldn't believe it! At Lane Bryant a new pair of crops were in a size 18 Got some new bras, panties (cheeky), the jeans, the crops and 3 tops... ahhhhhh, clothing that fits... ahhhhhh... and EVERYTHING was on sale So what have you purchased to update your "smaller" wardrobe?

Hi Wendy, I went shopping over the weekend and bought: 2 tops - size XL (Old Navy) 1 tank top - size 18/20 1 pair capris - size 20W 1 pair dress pants - size 20W 2 sport bras- size 40D (down from a 42 DD) 1 reg bra - size 38D 4 pair of sexy panties It is awesome to have clothes that actually fit, especially the panties. Kim 286/209.5/150ish?

Sexy panties!!!!! Now we're talkin', My Friend -- can't wait for those Yep, it is really nice when the clothes fit! (((skinny hugs))) wendyb

Teehee, Becky -- hey, at least we're in the same state! I also couldn't be happier -- and it's soooooooo nice to BE happy! ((((skinny hugs)))) wendyb

I just got 2 new summer dresses size 18 from Jessica London catalogue 1 New bathing suit size 20 2 new capris size 20 3 new tops size 1x and XXL It is so weird when I was ironing my new capris this AM they looked so small, and I said those are never going to fit. This body image thing is so strange, but I love the new clothes. I am down from a 28/30. Margo 334/313/238/160?

Funny you should mention Jessice London -- I'm so outta the loop, Margo, I'd never heard of this line... Then last night I saw where they had a store - didn't go in, too intimidating just yet (that same body image thingy you mentioned)... I'll have to check out their online store! Bravo to you on your success, My Friend -- four pounds from 100 -- that sooooooo ROCKS!!!! ((((skinny hugs)))) wendyb

A new bra size 38DD down from 44G New dress from Macy's size 14 Panties Right now, I am desperate for clothes size 14/16. I am going to a couple stores today......

Ahhhh... Macy's -- that's where I went last night and just had the best time! You're not shopping upstairs anymore - that's for sure!!! Another friend of mine had WLS last September and she swears by the thrift stores -- we're supposed to go shopping next week and scope them out ((((skinny hugs)))) wendyb

I bought a top from Avenue, size 18/20 - down from a 3X. That was exciting even if their sizes are a bit off. My pants are stretch 18/20 down from a 26/28. Lynne
