Topic: RE: Where's your favorite place to shop for new clothes?
Hi,
I just went on a shopping spree!! I have settled into 12's comfortable. I can fit a 10 but to me its to tight... I lkie Ross and TJ Max. But I went to the mall. They have this cute little store for cute little teens. I was able to buy things for me. Not too young looking but enough to make me not feel like the fat old lump I was... It was Melrose. I still went into Lane Bryant. Old habits die hard. I didn't buy the old trusties though. I splurged on (2) spaghetti strap shirts with a built in bra!! Size 14. Sexy...!!! I also shopped in Limited, Gap and American Eagle. Those stores were off limit before cuz I never could have fit into anything. I threw away all my old pants that had elastic bands! I have been wearing them 4-ever. I am now just wearing button jeans and shorts. My husband is thrilled! I revamped my entire wardrobe! I got rid of all the big and bulky and went for the sleek and sexy! I feel great. It is the best thing I ever could have done for myself.

Topic: RE: Ring Sizes
Mine is a size 5 - never got it resized after I gained weight. One of my goals is to get that ring back on my finger. I figure it'll be good timing. Men may start looking
again about the time it will start fitting.

Hi Judy,
I am down 96 pounds as of yesterday. I am still 30 pounds from goal. But you know what. I look fine. I am in a 14-16 and if i dont loose anything beyond the 4 pounds i want to loose before my 1 year that will be fine with me. I am glad i found your post. Was looking for you on the main board. Then i remembered you said you hang here. Glad to see your doing good. i lost 6 in the last month. i started a new job and drink a ton of water during work. I think that did it. Well, i would love to hear from you.
Take care
Be Blessed

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to see so many of us losing down below the "200's!" Many of us are at goal or can see it coming very soon! Yea!
Like all of you, I have had to get a new wardrobe, and it seems to be changing all the time. I'm very tall, and currently I wear anything between a size 12 and a 2X....depending on the cut and style. But mostly, I am wearing between a L and an XL.
Yes, I have had to buy all new shoes AND I need to get my rings sized....but I wanted to find out where you guys were buying your new clothes?
I have discovered some great clothes from Newport News. They have a great website: http://www.newport-news.com/default.asp
Also, I like shopping at Ross-Dress for Less and TJ Maxx. I get a lot of compliments from the clothes I buy from Ross!
Oh! And I buy my bras from the Vanity Fair Outlet store in Monroeville, Alabama. They make bras in the local factory for Vanity Fair AND Victoria's Secret! So....I can get some really great looking bras, panties, and slips for as little as $2 each! Wow!
Where are you guys shopping?
