In a week is my birthday and my father asked me if I wanted to go to the mall to pick up some new clothes since mine are beginning to look a tad bit ridiculous on me with the weight loss. Granted I still have around 50 lbs to lose to get to my first goal of 100lbs lost, My goal is to hit that by mid June.
I got a pair of jeans, some plaid look cargos, 3 designer tshirts, and 2 button down shirts. The jeans were three sizes (6") smaller than the ones I had on when I started and the same with the shorts. The tshirts were a size smaller (2x) and the button downs were a size smaller (3x) but I could have fit into the 2x if the shoulders fit. I know I should have probably waited but I can get the jeans altered, I know a guy that's a genius with a sewing machine.
Here's the best part though, we got it all for around $100, the calvin klein jeans I have on right now were $100. And now I can shop at a normal store and not the Fat Man Store.

Amazing job! Now doesn't it feel good to shop and put clothes on that make you look and feel better about yourself!!! My sis and I went shopping last weekend and we both were down 1-2 sizes(since last summer more like 3-4) and it was ridiculous how small I felt!!!!!

Congratulations!
It's nice to have a few things that show off the loss and are more flattering. You deserved it!0 -
Awesome job! That has to feel SO good! I can't wait until I can comfortably fit in the next size down. My goal is to get to the next lowest pant size by April, so I'm looking forward to a mini shopping trip at the end of the month, to see if I've made it.
Go you! And keep up the great work!0 -
