Man, that's great to hear!  I can SO identify with tha amazement that something actually FIT!  Seems like all my clothes are hanging on me now.  My best friend at work flat out told me today that I need to buy some smaller pants before the ones I'm wearing fall off me...  I guess I hadn't realized it for myself, cause "nothing ever really fits"...  I'm going tomorrow to buy some new pants, and I just might get a new shirt as well...  Wonder what sizes I'll be wearing tomorrow night?  Isn't this an amazing journey?

I've been going through clothes and sizes so fast that it makes my head spin. At first I was buying them at Thift stores, but once I got close to 200 and my weight loss slowed down I thought I would puchase some new stuff.  Well darned if the clothes I bought a month ago aren't all too big now. One thing I've learned is that 10 pounds makes a bigger difference in clothes size when you are closer to goal than it did when I was 300 plus...
Reward yourself with some new stuff but don't spend a fortune because it won't fit for very long.. My biggest thrill was getting some clothes from my younger (always thinner) brother that were too small for him and were actually a little loose on me
I'm still sometimes surprised by my reflection in a store window.. I spent years looking away in disgust,, now I do a double take when I realize that normal sized guy is me... I think I'm getting vain lol

THAT'S AWESOME!!!

I had a similar thing happen yesterday when I traded in a 4X work shirt for a smaller size. Hoping there was a 2X that would fit me...to my shigrin, only an XL was available...

Put it on, and it fit! Never woulda thought!!
