I tried on clothes today......!!!

Went shopping at Goodwill today and I tried on a sweater coat that said "one size fits all" and I thought oh yeah, let's just see! And lo and behold it FIT!!! In fact a lady went past me and said "that looks good on you!" I bought a pair of olive velour jeans size 22 and they fit!!!! (Yes they were STRETCH denim but SIZE 22!!!!) Haven't been in a 22 for years!!! Down from 30/32 in 2 1/2 months! This clothes shopping is starting to get fun!!! (and I spent less than $10 on myself for 2 pr pants and one sweater!)

I am so happy for you! I have to admit every week seems I am getting into a new pair of jeans. I have closest full of clothes. I have a size 22 through a size 12. I just got into a size 18 this week. I would like to box up the 22 and 20's but part of me is scared to let them go! Now does that sound strange or what. I started at a tight 22.

wow michelle that is great news i am so happy for you i bet you were feeling real good cause thats how i feel i hated shopping before cause i could never get into clothes i wanted now that i have lost 100 pounds i love shopping.

good job!1 try the clearence racks at your local stores too. kohls has a good sale going on now. www.kohls.com

Michelle -- Wow....a "one size fits all" item is quite an achievement! Maybe you could wear the tag on the outside so everyone knows?! haha You'll have to post a picture of yourself in your new duds! Francie

Michelle, That must be a wonderful feeling I remember that from all my past diets that is why I have so many sizes in my closet I think I can lose about 75 lbs before I need to buy anything. Keep up the good work your doing great.--Ann

Doesn't it feel great to get into those "one size fits all"! Keep it up. Next week it will be a size 20.

Michelle: You are an inspiration for me. I look forward to reading your posts. I have a question for you that have had your surgery. How long is it before you are able to start doing things like travel. I would like to visit my son and daughter in Dallas for Christmas. My surgery is scheduled for November 14th. Is this a possibility? I would appreciate any advice. thanks
