exciting goal - regular size clothing - 3 mths in
Did my vertical sleeve November 20th 2016 and since then I lost 58 pounds. Yesterday I went to H&M and I now fit into a size large in tops. the top was only 15$!
So thrilled I fit into regular store sizes for so many reasons. There is more of a selection and variety, the clothing is much more fashionable than the frumpy plus size clothing stores and its much more affordable.
Yay! vertical sleeve!
me too!!! I haven't been to H&M, and I'm trying to not buy too much, but it sure is exciting to be able to pass the Women's department and go to the regular folks departments...AND find things that fit.
Congrats! Great job.
Good friends are like stars.
You don't always see them but you always know they're there. 
Congratulations!! Exciting stuff. My next size change will put me in regular sizes so I scoped that section out last time I went shopping. I swear I felt like I was in a foreign country and I don't speak the language! Lol. Haven't been in those sizes since my early 20s (nearly 40 years ago). It's very weird lol
Congratulations ! It just gets better ! I am starting my second year maintaining a five pound weight range, and having four seasons of only one size of clothing, you consistently fit into is something you can set your sights on too. You've got this !

You're killin' it!!
That's such a great feeling!! Fitting into regular size clothes is a huge deal especially if you have only been able to shop in plus size for a long time. Enjoy it but don't spend too much $$$!
One tip is make sure to only buy something if you really LOVE it. When I first started getting back into straight size clothes, I bought a bunch of crap I never ended up wearing just because it fit or because it was a certain size I hadn't seen in years. Don't just buy a bunch of clothes because you can or you will end up like me with way too much stuff!!! Congrats!
