I have been hanging on to size 18"s since my Gastric Bypass. As I have said before I started on Zeal's Challenge for 90 days during the pre-launch. Since August 1st I have lost 42 pounds. I went to The Avenue, a Store I frequently shop at. I was trying on the clothes and getting the different sizes from the clerk, she said, you don't wear a 16, anymore try on this 14, they were skinny jeans, I didn't think I could fit them but I reluctantly tried them on, They were actually to big very loose fitting.I have been on a cloud since then I now am at a size where I can go into any store to shop for clothes, YAY!!!!!

    Haha I remember when I had the same success! You look at these pants and your brain is like, "L-O-L we will NEVER fit our butts or legs in that" and when you put them on, it's like someone's bending the time-space continuum :)

    When I could start shopping in "regular" stores I really knew I made progress! I am so happy for you!!!
