WOW Moments!

Well..................My favorite store is NY & Co. I have always loved that store but in the beginning of my journey I could not even wear the biggest size there which is an 18. I have not went clothes shopping in so long because funds were short. But this week-end I went to replace my 14 petite dress pants (That I have not worn in a while because they were so big on me). The pants there are awesome (because they have different lengths and I am very short) and I'm thinking I'll get a 10 petite so I grabbed that then thought let me trryyyyy the 8 petite.................so I put on the 10 and they were loose.........I thought OMG then I put on the 8 petite and they fit perfect not tight at all I could probably sqeeze into a 6 petite............I have never been in the single digits in sizes before. This is unreal to me. I was almost crying in the dressing room. Oh yeah and I also bought 3 size small shirts (so weird me wearing a small) Although my scaled hasn't been moving very fast it was nice to see some results while clothes shopping, made me feel better! I just wanted to share my WOW moment with my fellow August babies............I am sure that you guys are beginning to experience many! What are some of your WOW moments? --Marianne 5'0 256/138/120

Hi Marianne, I posted my WOW Moment under WAhoooooooooo Yahoooooooo! cause I lost 10 pounds in the past 2 weeks! Not sure why but I am not going to question this. Most of the time I have only lost 3-4 pounds every 5-6 weeks! I have had a moment or two in the dressing rooms where tears ovewhelm me! I also can wear a size 8p but still feel most comfortable in the 10p. even when the sacles seemed stalled my dress/pants size has continued to drop. So the slow weight loss was somewhat acceptable to me ( i am the type that WANTS IT AL NOW! ) One day in the dressing room I had to cal my best friend........ I had actually had on a size 8 Evion Piccone Dresss! I didn't buy it cause I hope that will be tooo big come the time of my Nices late Fall wedding! These WOW MOMENTS are GREAT! CONGRATS Marianne! !

Awwwww, congratulations Marianne!!!! I'm so happy for you, and totally know what you mean. I had planned to go buy some jeans at NY&Co, since they were having a special this weekend but put it off. I mainly wanted to go because i wanted to know/see what size I'd be able to fit into. NY&Co was always a favorite of mine, but usually ended up getting a top or their largest sized pants. Thing was, even when i was a size 18, the pants always were too tight, didn't feel/fit right, etc. So, I've been contemplating just going in, getting a size 8 and see if it fits. I've been on a strict budget so haven't done much clothe's shopping, but feel I have to in order to actually know my size! I currently wear size 10, but my clothes is a little baggy. The suspense of knowing that i'd be in a single digit clothing is awesome! Will definitely post when I get my NOW-skinnier butt down to NY&Co and know my ACTUAL clothing size! Congrats at being 138!!! I'm stuck at 140 and have set a goal of 138 before my 7/30 birthday! Best of luck with everything norma 255/140/138

Wow Marianne... that's sooooooooo awesome! That was the same store I bought my 1st pair of size 8 jeans (maybe 2 months ago?)... I felt like I was on cloud nine and thought maybe it was just b/c they have larger sizes than other stores, so I went into Gap and Macy's and low and behold... I fit into an 8 there too!!!! I was hoping to get to a 6, but have since gotten pregnant, so I'll have to wait on that. But congratulations- you're absolutely beautiful!!!! Lots of love, Dawn 5'6" 257/150/140
