Dress Sizes

Well, I have lots of questions and info to share, but if I'd put it all in one post, you all might have been , so I thought I'd break it down into a couple of posts so you don't have to answer all my queries!!! Friday night, I put on a size 20 dress!!! OMG, did I just say that? Anyway, it used to be a size 34!!! OMG, did I just say THAT??? So, how many dress sizes is that - 7 by my calculations - 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 - is that right? What do you think? TIA, Teresa

Congratulations, Teresa! Seven dress sizes is incredible - and yes, I think you calculated it correctly. Hugs, Tracy

Yes, ma'am, it truly is a MIRACLE!! Thanks for the input! My pants size has gone from 30/32 to 18/20, another MIRACLE, but my shirts range anywhere from 18/20 to 26/28, depending upon the cut/fabric - but it's still down from a 30/32-34/36, so it's all good. I guess once I have the panni and my midriff removed/reshaped, that'll all change, too!!! Change is good!!! Thanks, Teresa

Uhh...what's a dress??? HEHEHE...j/k That's terrific!!! You're doing great G/F

Funny girl! Actually, this was my bargain dress that I found at Dress Barn Woman in Rehobeth for $25!!!! So I got to take the $100 dress back to Macy's!!! It also was the first dress I've worn since about 2002!!! Yet another victory! The pantyhose sucked, though!!! Tia

Way to go Teresa. Congratulations! I hate pantyhose too, but they are starting to fit much better now that I've lost quite a bit of weight. Gotta love it. Robin

Thanks, Robin! Although it was kind of funny to look at the box, see that it only went up to 300 pounds and think, "Nuts, now what do I do?" Took me a minute to realize that I now weigh less than 300!!!! Actually, they weren't too bad, the control top just took some getting used to - as did wearing heels again. Take care, Teresa

That is the greatest feeling in the world. Someone that is a size 2 couldn't understand what we are saying and te emtion that we fell about our dress size but screw them all because I know I was jumping for joy once I got to a size 20 and now that I have reached a size 14 some 10/12 GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!! For me my weight loss has slowed down tremendously but my inches are still getting small....... I think GOD for every pound I have lost. And though I may not be a super model I fell like one. Congrats on your weight loss!!!!!!!!!! Nikki WLS 4/13/2005 344lbs, 190lbs, goal 125lbs

Thanks Nikki - It IS a great feeling. My wl has slowed, too, due in LARGE part to my "need" to snack. Nowhere near the quantity of the past, but I'm still disgusted with myself. Having said that, however, there is no way that I could've ever lost 7 dress sizes. I'm healthier and happier, and even if I never lose another pound, what more can you ask for? Congrats to you, too! Take care, Teresa
