YES!!! I finally fit into American Eagle!!!

OMG, I was sooooo happy that I was able to fit into size 14 jeans and a XL top from a normal store!!! I snapped a pic, it's in my album. Only 37 pounds left until goal!!! I hope everyone is doing awesome Hugs, Jacqueline

Jaqueline! You look FAB ! You should be so proud of yourself. Congratulations! You are an inspiration! Shanna

Thank You Shanna!!! That's so sweet of you to say Hugs, Jacqueline

Hi!! Congrats on your AE!! In my day in High School (I graduated in 99) AE was THE store to shop in and I remember having 1 special skirt I could actually fit in from that store! Of course, wearing that skirt was short lived before I put on too much! Since I have been thinking about having this surgery, I have had this funny obsession with the thought of marching my butt into AE and buying a fab pair of jeans and some cute little sundress number. Oh yeah, I can't wait. 6 months of my med supervised diet, surgery, and about 6 months of weight loss--AE better watch out!! Congrats and you look fab!!

Thanks Amanda!!! Yeah before you know it you will be in AE tearing up the racks too! Hugs, Jacqueline

YEAH! So how does it feel to be able to shop in a normal store and not a plus size store?

Amazing!!!

Yeah Congrats! It is a great feeling to walk into the store knowing that you are there to buy for yourself. I always ordered from AE.com cuz they have XXL tops and up to size 18 jeans. But I was excited to buy my first pair of jeans and shirt from the store! Congrats again!

Thank you! Yeah there is something about going and buying from the store that makes it soooo much better!!! Maybe cause I finally feel "normal"

You know this post makes me laugh because I was siiting here yesterday going through the AE and Hollister sites saying how pretty soon I will be INCLUDED in the group of people who can wear those clothes.. its feels great doesnt it? I am so happy for you its almost like I am happy for myself! haha
