I love the Canadians too, I have a bunch of friends from Canada that I give **** to all the time.  One of my all time favorite tshirts right here:

I love Birch Run and Frankenmuth!  I usually hit up Birch Run at least once a year for school shopping.  I'm near Ann Arbor.  If you ever get out this way send me a PM, we'll do lunch or something!

That sounds like a plan! I love Frankenmuth too. I go there a couple times a year. Just never the day after Thanksgiving.  That was a nightmare. My sister went to college in Ann Arbor years ago. I love Ann Arbor.  Lots to do and see

I love all these comments and stories xoxo

I hated spending $50-$85 for a plain t-shirt.  This is why a plus size lady always looked "frumpy" and always looked like they were wearing the same clothes lol

 

I love Old Navy now!!!

Keep up the great work

I was at Costco shopping with my kids and husband.  There was a display with these cable knit three quarter length cardigan sweaters.  I said, "Oh those are cute. Too bad they won't have my size."  My teenager went over and looked and said, "Yes they do mom" and handed me a regular Large.  I tried it on and my husband said, "Nope, that's too big...try the Medium."  I was actually flabbergasted and tried to insist that I would NEVER fit in a Medium. They all rebelled and insisted I try on the Medium.  Sure enough it fit great! Now I still love that sweater though it has gotten a bit big. That is a great memory!  Thank you for reminding me.

Congratulations on your progress! Have a really good day.

I made my 1st regular size purchase 1 month ago at Costco.  I found some low priced nylon jogging pants.  Not knowing what size I was wearing, I figured I would get a large as I would eventually be wearing that size.  I got them home only to find they fit me perfectly!  Within 2 weeks they were too big so I went back and purchased a pair in medium.  They fit!

I believe my first purchase was at Kohl's sometime in November.  I fit into a XL and was so excited.  I'm now in a LG and some MD.

Since my closet carries a wide variety of sizes I'm still shopping in there! As soon as I hit a size I don't have in there I'm hitting the mall!!!

My first non plus sized items were purchased at a Post Exchange. Michael Kors pants and blouse, size 14! I was hesitant to try them on but my husband convinced me to try them and that moment when the pants slid right on!
