Non Scale Wow!

I went shopping today and came home with things for ME from Old Navy. And not even the biggest size they carry. I was shocked. I guess I can say good-bye to Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant. This is going to be fun! New wardrobe here I come.

wow. that is such an inspiration. I just had my surgery on September 21 and that is what I want more than anything. people always ask me what my goal is. I truely dont know how much I want to weigh I just know that I want to be able to shop in a normal store. Cant wait for that. Congrats

Aren't non scale victories the best?  My scales are not budging but I did notice that a shirt I put on today was a little loser in the arms.  So, I guess I'm losing inches.  Great job, Deb! 

deb,
thats awesome...i remember how i felt the first time i bought something from christopher and banks...its fantastic

I needed some fall/winter clothes since all I bought was summer stuff when I was really loosing. It is amazing to see the small stuff hanging in my closet despite the fact that I still feel like I'm huge.

My scales haven't budged for a good couple of weeks and I know why. I've been experimenting a little too much with what I can eat and what I can't. Unfortunately the can eats are outweighing the can'ts. I need to ramp up the exercise and cut back the carbs. They have been stalling me badly. Too easily eaten and digested. My tool still works I have just been overdoing. Time to fix my head.  

I never realized how much I loved Old Navy til I too did the same thing. I am in a size 18 in their pants and could probably now wear a 16! I LOVE their shirts. My hubby's mom would be impressed. When I was bigger I would only wear blacks and browns. Now my closet looks like a rainbow! It is so funny. The only time I go to Lane Bryant is for bra's and panties now. I don't miss shopping their at all. I feel like a "normal" person now.

I have been hitting the gym really hard this week.  I am in SO much pain! My husband is my BOB! from the biggest loser! He is pushing me. I really want to lose 9lbs to hit a loss of 101! That would be ideal for me. Will let you know Tuesday how that works out. Hope everyone is well.

Isn't it awesome when you can actually buy "regular" size clothes!  I always said I would be happy to hit a 16 and lo and behold I am now wearing a 12!  I never thought I would see the day that would happen but I am extremely grateful and happy.  Keep up the good work and enjoy that new wardrobe!!!
