Topic: RE: What size is everyone wearing?
I went from a 22W to a 2/4. It depends on the designer/ store. I never in a million years would have guessed that I would wear a size 2 anything!
Topic: RE: What size is everyone wearing?
I am currently in a size 26/28 sometimes 30/32 but only if it is a button up shirt. I feel so blessed to be able just go in plus size stores to shop now!
When I started my journey clothing was always a tight squeeze into the biggest items I could find. I had to special order from people that sewed. Usually vendors at the SSBBW/BBW Bash's. Anything as long as it was slinky material and the biggest they had would work pretty much. The looks of the clothes was not important as long as it covered me. Slinky is so friendly in the maximizing of the stretch!!
Along my journey since 08/23/10 I have actually been able to wear a bra and underwear again. It does feel amazing!
I will be getting married 07/04/12 and hoping to be small enough to buy my wedding dress. I have never been able to buy a fancy dress to wear. Alway had to have it special made.
So many changes, each day is a blessing. Hard work and determination!!

Topic: RE: Oh my achy tailbone!!
Yes, this has happened to me to. My weight loss before surgery was 110 lbs, and it hurt then to. For a small time frame in the last few months it seemed to stop hurting so much and I thought it was going away. However in the last few weeks it has been hurting a lot again. I usually joke about it, it seems like I have grown a tail bone that wants to wag or something. Shifting helps a little but sometimes is more painful while trying to shift.
I hope that it goes away again!
( it is good to hear that this is somewhat a normal thing to expect, but not that I am liking the pain)
I have two different types of donuts and have found a cushion (not all cushions have helped) works, it took time to find the right one.

Denial delays progress and resolution
my tailbone seems to be protruding and it is killing me. I am gonna purchase a ****yx cushion because I heard that is better than the donut pillows.
I am embarassed to go to the doctor but if it doesnt get better soon., I may have to anyway. it has been well over am month.

Great Job! Keep up the good work - Doesn't it feel awesome! I can't wait to go to the drivers license place and actually be honest about my weight next time!

Topic: RE: What size is everyone wearing?
I am in a size 12 and can squeeze into a size 10 jeans but not very comfortably. It's hard to believe how much my life has changed this year and it has all been for the good. I was wearing a 22 this time last year. I have not been in a 10 - 12 since high school. I love having my life back!

Topic: RE: What size is everyone wearing?
I am wearing jeans size 13/14. I have some skirts that are 12 but dresses are 14. I started my journey in a very tight 28 and some 30 and 32 size.
The greatest thing for me is that I actually got my prom dress on. It is tight but I still have more to lose so I know that it is going to look good in a couple of months.

Topic: What size is everyone wearing?
I am so happy to be in a size 14 jeans. Today I tried on a dress that was a 12 actually. I can't remember the last time I was in anything smaller than a 16. At the height of my journey I was wearing 28!
