Yes, I am buying Ladies Size Mediums 8-10P!

Hello all!

I am now wearing a ladies size large (12-14P).  However, my ultimate goal is much smaller. :)  I will be thrilled to wear a medium and that is likely where I will end up.  And that's ok... although I would love to wear the size 2 I used to.. sigh.. well I am 55 in October and that may not look as well on me anymore.  For those of you I haven't met, I am very short, 5' even and small boned so a medium is a conservative goal for me.  Anyway I have been hitting the sale racks and Nordstrom's basement sales.  I am getting good quality clothes at 75% off and using 10% coupons sometimes bringing my savings to 86 to 90% off!  I bought 2 pairs of jeans for $3.00 each at a clearance sale at Walmart.  I know I should have bought more, but I am a lady on a budget.  I have all my goodies in my "secret closet" in my sewing room.  New shoes, heels, wedgies, slides and more.  I have yummy warm ribbed turtlenecks in wonderful fall colors; and a brown suede jacket with embroidered collar and cuffs with matching pants.  I bought them at  85% off clearance at Chadwicks.  I have a special sexy dress for New Year's Eve!  Plus I have several day dresses I purchased at Bluefly.com at a huge savings.  I have brown tights, pantyhose and those sexy black thigh high stockings!  Oh and yes... bikini panties and real bras!  ;)   I am so close to wearing all of that stuff.  I started about 3 months ago... jus****ching and waiting for great sales.  I plan on racking up on end of summer clearances for next summer.  I am off on a Florida vacation in December... watch out world!  Diane is back! 

Blessings,

Diane

Diane -

Your enthusiasm is absolutely palpable! I can't wait to see you in some of your new duds.

Congratulations on making your dreams a reality.

Thanks Barb!

I have been busy in the kitchen this morning making home made chicken and corn chowder.  I made enough to feed me for a long time!  Thank you so much for your genuine support of me!  I pray I can do at least 1/2 as much for you.

Your friend,

Diane

 Shop til you drop!! 

I wish I could! LOL

More details, please!  We seem to be traveling parallel roads.  I am also just under 5 ft tall and have TINY bones!  Tried to look up a profile for you ut couldn't get there.  PM me with your story.  What was your weight/BMI when you started? I also have some goodies in the closet that I am looking forward to getting into! It is good to see you posting Diane!  Stay in touch!  It is still a day at a time here!

Suzanne & Diane,       I didn't realize you were a shortie as well. I told Diane that I am also 5'. I don't think I am small framed though. I carry the majority of weight in my hips....uggghs. I hate that. Of course when I was younger, having junk in your trunk was not as fashionable as it is now...lol. Maybe my J-Lo booty will be more acceptable now! Diane, you are doing super. I have been stalled for two weeks now. I want to see onederland but it may be a bit before that happens at this rate. I just started back to teaching and am hopeing that will jump start my loss here. getting agitated here. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. I like hearing about your success. Lisa

Don't get discouraged! You're going to be here sooner than you think! And you are going to look fantastic! Blessings, Diane
