I'm in a 14/16. I ordered a swimsuit from Spiegel for my upcoming trip to Cancun. It had a cute skirt without being a "fat woman's" swimwuit.. which I liked. It also had the FX Shaper in it for control.. well, I ordered a 16W, figuring it would give me a little room...boy was I wrong!!!!! WOW! I can get it on, but it's a process!!! That sucker is like a spandex glove! SHEESH! at first I didn't think it would fit...but I worked my way into it.. It is really cute, but I better make sure I go to the potty before hitting the beach/pool.. I can't imagine putting that thing on wet!! I'm hoping it will give a little once I wear it. I have tried some on in the stores and have had no problem with a 14 - 16 misses, (except some of the cup sizes..you're right!!), so I really don't have any advice other than be careful when ordering a suit with the body shaper in it... It definately sucks you in for sure!!!!

Eating? Terrible!!! I am not going overboard on calories, but I hate to admit what those calories are made up of.... I really hate that I am so weak in this area... Exercise and vitamins and water..... no problem. doing great... I just wish I could break this food addiction....! I HAVE to do better! Maybe we should start posting what we've been eating each day..that seemed to help me a bit.. ???

I had my GB R&Y on June 13, 2006. I have lost 92 pounds since surgery and would like to lose another 25. I, like most of you have posted have stalled and haven't lost for the past month. How many calories are you eating a day? I hit and miss with my exercise, have had the munchies and seem to be really thirsty all the time. any ideas for breaking the stall other than getting better about exercise?

I have not had a good experience ordering a suit from a catalog. Yes they finally were able to send one that fit, but it took 3 sends and returns before the right one arrived. (about 4 weeks total) Yesterday, I went to Ross and found one that fit me much better than the catalog one and cost me 1/4 of the price. They have a big selection right now cause it is still early. Why don't you try Ross?

Dang....I have not been on this site for WEEKS....as everyone is experiencing I'm sure...with less weight on my bones, I've been busy, busy, busy....BUT....lately I have hit a big stall...started with some cravings, etc....The answer...go get support...The first forum I jumped to and this topic hit me between the eyes. Now I feel so much better about myself....I was feeling a slide coming on. What inspiration you all give me and I thank y'all for being there. -karen-
