Went Shopping

Hi Folks, Guess what I did? Yep, went shopping. I tried on clothes in size 16, which is what I had been wearing, and they were too big. Jacket, pants,and a top. So I went into a 14 and everything fit. So I guess even though the scale seems to be frozen, I am getting a little smaller. Just wanted to share that with all of you. Hugs, Nona

Hi there Nona, Congradulations to you girl! One word of advise unless you area a rich lady. Don't buy too much. I bought 2 jeans for the fall and winter, 3 long sleeve tops and 2 sweaters. The rest of my wardrobe will come from the flea markets until this weight loss stabilizes. It is true, even if the scale does not move the inches do. I am hoping that all my spring and summer clothed I bought will fit next year. This WLS is just wonderful but.................... costing a fortune. Enjoy your new clothes and congradulations again... You have done great. and to the new you.............LOrraine

That's great Nona. Enjoy, enjoy! Don't get too attached to them as you will be reaching for those 12's in no time! Like you said just because the scaler isn't moving doesn't mean the inches aren't coming off. Congratulations, and great job.

Yea Nona ! So glad to hear about your fun shopping day ! I bought an outfit today for my company Christmas party - a bit early I know, but the sales were fabulous, I also bought a wnter coat in a Large, of course went for the XL but it hung off me , even the large has a bit of roominess , but it was a great feeling... It's almost surreal sometimes aint it ? have a great weekend..

Congratulations Nona on dropping to another size. Isn't it great????? I went shopping today, too. My daughter and I are Goodwill junkies. Today I picked up a Tahari black skirt, a pair of LUCKY black jeans and a black top from Bisou Bisou. My bill.........$16.00. Happy Shopping!!!!! LuvitSunnyV@goal

Wish they had something like that around here. Most of the places like that sell really nasy stuff, well worn and many times stained or damaged. I felt like a kid trying on outfit after outfit in a 14. Occasionally, a pair of pants wouldn't fit, due to the tummy, but most everything fit. And some with room. Good feeling. Something odd happened. I know I have been eating more lately, not bad foods, just more. Well, I ate about 1500 calories one day, and the scale moved yesterday, from 198 to 195. Isn't that odd? Nona

Congratulations! That is such a great feeling, isn't it? I had the same thing happen. I had been in a 10 and for the first time in my life I am wearing an 8! Take Care! Erika 281-December 1, 2003/158 today

Wow an 8. I've never been that small since I WAS 8. To wear a 14 is incredible for me, as that is the size I was in high school. I weighed less, but I was fatter, less muscle. My hubby was commenting this morning on how good I looked. He says if it weren't for the skin on my tummy and arms, I'd be downright skinny. Such a sweetie. Nona

Hello Nona, That is such wonderful news. I guess we have to quit worrying so much. If you know you are doing everything right, we just have to be patient. Your husband does sound very sweet. New clothes in a new smaller size are the best. Allison
