I went to thrift store today nsv and a sv...

I went to the thrift store today which I really like.  I pulled 3 pair of jeans off thinking  I could try them on.  All of my 18w's were too big so I literally had no pants.  I pulled off 17/18, a 17 and a 16(which i thought was an 18...guess I was tired.  I asked to try them on and found out they have no dressing rooms!!!  So my husband says if they dont fit, you'll get into them soon.  Hmm I was bummed all the way home.  I dont want to pay full price for anything now and didnt know my size. I thought maybe, with luck, a straight 18.  So, I paid under 15.00 for the 3 pair which btw look new, trendy and nice.  I get home and fear set in...they arent going to fit blah blah.  Well, all 3 pair fit...one pair is a 17 skinny jean!  Ive never in my life that I can remember worn this size and quite honestly, i dont even know what these sizes mean because i always thought 15 or 17 was jrs sizing.  Im in heaven!!! I still dont know what size i am but they fit and i am their new proud owner!!!

My sv today...God  has blessed me to have this surgery.  I weighed in today at 249.75.  I was 251.25 on Mondays weigh in. YAY!!! Its a hair over 100 lbs...100.25 I think. Starting at 350 I am so proud to see that #!!

I had to share lol, my loving husband is awesome  but im not sure he gets it lol

 

Thank you all!!!

Congratulations on hitting that much coveted milestone.....the 100 pound loss.  Way to go!!

great going

Very nice!!! I am big into milestones and the number 100 is one to celebrate! Congratulations.

Congratulations!  Great Job!

I can't wait to hit that milestone myself 

Congratulations! 100 is a huge milestone. I love thrift stores.

Thank you all!  I cant wrap my head around it for some reason.  I started with the band 10 yrs ago at 486lbs so ive hit 100lbs off before but for some reason, this is much different.  I was thinking about this last night.  The last time I weighed anywhere close to this wt. was at age 16 when I did Nutri System...i hit 225 but then went off and that was that.  Im 48 now and this feels different...almost surreal in a way.  I want it to be real.  Only 4 of my best friends and my one sis know about the surgery.  When they ask me how I feel I honestly dont know how to answer.  I mean i tell them I feel great cus i do but I dont know how I feel.  I mean Im greatful and Im blessed...but my insides are twisted...I dont know if that makes sence but...I spent the majority of my life in the 300/400's...maybe thats why.  Insight is always helpful:-).

I am going to love thrift shopping lol.  Tho my 30th h.s. reunion is next month and im looking for a killer dress.  Prob...im not sure what size i'll be!

How killer of a dress are we talking here?  I tried this one on 2 weeks ago and have not been able to stop thinking about it!!!

Torrid is good for HOT cloths made for a curvy body.

congratulations!  I went shopping a week ago at an outlet center.  Got up my nerve and went into Talbot's outlet mainly because they were having a sale.  Told the salesgirl I didn't know what size I was and that I had had gastric bypass.  Between that salesgirl and another I had so many things to try on.  They were so helpful and I left only buying one top but it was an XL - long way from my highest 3X.  Isn't it great!

Yep and I am over the moon!!! I havent tried any stores yet tho i'll probably have to for winter tops.  Im almost afraid lol.
