I reached a milestone! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!

I started this whole process at 400 lbs. I was having to make my own clothes and I looked terrible. Last week my Pastor (a woman) took me shopping for new clothes. I can now buy my clothes at WalMArt!!! That was one of my goals and I have now achieved it! I am so excited I had to share with someone who would understand how huge this is for me. I am now in a size 26/28W I haven't been able to wear that size in 15 years. Just had to share! Alicia

Alicia~ That is soooooo wonderful!!!!!!! Just think, in no time you will be in the reg. section of Wal~Mart! Congrats to you!!!

Whoo hooo!! good for you!

Alicia: Way to go!! Keep up the good losses...you'll be in a teeny size before you know it. I haven't bought any new clothes yet, but did get to give a box of my "too big" stuff to Goodwill last week...what a great feeling. My RNY was 6/7/04 and I just hit the -80 lb mark! My clothes are really loose, but i'm waiting until about Christmas before I get some new ones. You go girl! Faye

Congratulations Alicia, You have made great progress and should be very proud of yourself! Keep up the good work! Terri

Alica, how wonderful, you're doing great!! I know what you mean, when I started this back in March, I was in clothes that were very tight and those were the largest I could purchase, size 28s, so tight it was making me sick and wear the "stretchy" kinds, if I had gained just one more pound I would have had to make my own clothes too. I've donated a lot of my largest clothes already and I'm in a 18/20 now, just a few more inches and I'll fit the 16s I got on clearance a month ago. Just wait, those pounds keep dropping, even though sometimes they get"stuck" but you lose inches nevertheless. Isn't this wonderful! I know I am so thankful for this surgery, I can hardly express my gratitude Andrea (334) 305/249/140

Congratulations Alicia, That is Awsome!

Alicia, I know how you feel, isnt it amazing when you can shop in a regular store, even if it is in the Plus sizes? I was 432 when I started my journey and was wearing 30/32. Now I am in 22/24 tops and almost in 24 bottoms (darn belly wont budge lately). Keep up the great work Amy

That is a milestone! Finally, you can buy something special...when you want to! Keep up the good work, it is a remarkable tool, isn't it?
