Today I went to my fav store - clothes for larger ladies.  I used to take a size 28, but I've lost 50lb so knew i needed a smaller size!  I tried a 22 to big. A 20 to big.  A 18 yipee things fit!  Shop assistant thought I was crazy I was laughing so much in the changing room!!   I then went to a "normal" shop !!  Have nt been in one for years - loads of choice and I bought "regular" size clothes for the first time in years!

Sometimes there is more to life than the scales !

ps got snowed out of my house yesterday and i walked 1km home up a steep hill ... could nt have done that a year ago!

So motivated to lose the next 28lb.  Thank you calorie count x

Well done! You have dealt with so much this year and I really admire your strength, keep it up, you are inspiring.

Great share! thank you! Well done you!

Brilliant news! Well done you Laughing

That doesn't sound weird....it sounds great! Congratulations!

Thats wonderful. So happy for you. I cant wait to be where you are :)

just wait till you are out of plus size... that is such an awesome feeling. It takes getting use to though. Its been a year and a half since I crossed over to the regular side of the store and I still find myself wanting to go twards plus to look for a size 24 but I have to stop myself and say... what are you doing your a size 8 now!

 

congrats!!! :-)

Way to go.  Everyone's goal is to say good-bye to the large size stores.  Thank you for sharing, reminds me to stay on track so that I can one day say good-bye also. 

Congrats to you! How wonderful!
