It is a nice feeling isn't it??  Funny you should mention JCPenney..........I was there to today...........great clearance sales.  I hit Sears to today.............got a couple of really nice T-Shirts for $4.88 regularly $22.00.  Just hate to spend to much money right now......my sizes are really going down quickly............started at 20W and now am wearing 16W comfortably.............these hips!!  LOL  They are coming down..........takes time!!  My tops I can wear an XL which is nice.  I like Misses fashions a lot better.  Take care and keep up the good work!!  -Holly

I'm so excited for you! I'm right on the edge of that too... It is really driving me crazy that there is such a fluction in sizes from one brand to another!  I went to Bells yesterday to get a dress for a funeral and ended up with a 16 (in the regular section) and a Large(!!!) for a cover (I don't like sleeveless). But then today I went to pick up a couple of other things - as all my 24's are falling off - and I was in a 16 in one thing, a 14 in another, and in another the 18 was too small!  What the heck??

Don't they standardize these things??

Anyways, Congrats!  Sorry to add my little rant to the end

Congratulations!! It's such a wonderful feeling to shop in the "regular" stores. I just came back from shopping with my mom. I got two sized medium shirts and two skirts - one is a 10 and one is a 12. Yes, sizing is odd between manufacturers. I love shopping, but need to control myself because I want to lose more weight!

Awesome isn't it!!!  Not to have to hang our head in shame as we walk to the tiny little plus sized section in the back of the store... I love being "normal"!!!  

Went to Old Navy today and bought a ton of stuff... clothing quality isn't great but it's cheap!!
