I did not have to cruise the Plus size section!  I tried on regular size 18 (misses) and they fit!  I tried on XXL size tops instead of 3x or 24-26 and they fit!  I am going to Florida in April so I put stuff in layaway so I can see if I am smaller by that time and be able to trade it down a size because some 16's fit but were too muffin topped or snug.  I also compared the cost of the same pieces of clothing (tops and pants) and saved at least $2 on every item.  To me that is a very good reason to continue my weight loss; it is way less expensive to dress as well as to eat. LOL

Great NSV! You are right to just put stuff on lay away because more than likely they will be big by then. I remember when I was able to give up tops that had numbers and letters together, it was a big deal! I still have quite a few XL because I am broad shouldered but that is ok, I'll take it.

Keep up the good work, you will be surprised at how quickly your body changes, enjoy.

LOVE IT!   Good idea with doing a layaway just in case you need a smaller size, also.

Yea!!! Have a GREAT time in Florida in your smaller clothes.  Be sure to set aside some money to shop while you are down there.
