No more plus sizes or "womens" or 3x, 2x etc!  I was a bit freaked out and overwhelmed in the "regular" size department yesterday.   It was a surreal experience that I was not psychologically prepared for.Also hate spending too much when I know in 3-6 weeks I will need a new size again.

Thrift stores!! We have a big second hand store chain around here called Savers that is great. Or salvation army, goodwill, etc. You can often find brand new pieces for just a few dollars.

I bought some tops and a cardigan...all to go with my only dress pants that fit....only to put them on this morning and discover they are now too big!

Haha that must be a tad frustrating, but you are on fire! And I must say, cardigans are one of my favorite clothing staples. Each fall I buy a bunch from Old Navy in fun colors and wear them with tank tops or layered over graphic tees.

Awesome NSV for sure! Yes, definitely be conservative when shopping for clothes as you are getting smaller because as soon as you buy something that fits perfect, it will be way too big in 2-3 weeks.
Get it gurl!!!

I used to think I was an excellent shopper. It was easy when I was regulated to one small corner of the store. Now that I can branch out to more of the store I find it overwhelming. So many choices.

I need to find somewhere to buy cheap bras.  Mine don't fit anymore, and I went to the department store this weekend to be measured, and the saleslady was trying to sell me the expensive ones...I'm like "It's not going to fit me in a couple weeks, so I don't want to spend that much!"  

They didn't have my size anyway.  I can't wait until I'm a "normal" size.

Highest weight:  287    Surgery weight:  279   Current weight:  150

I'm having bra issues too. A good place to find them for cheap is jms.com. They rotate the brands they put on sale. The only thing is you can't try them on.
