    Great story! I can't wait until the day I can walk into a "regular" store and buy something. I've NEVER been able to do that. I've worn plus size ever since I can remember (when I was a kid it was "pretty plus" from Sears).

    WOW!! I just looked up those pants!! Boy I sure hope you bought them! They are super cute!! Congratulations!!!!!!

    They are great pants and after trying them on you bet, I bought them! I consider them earned! LOL. :) Thanks very much.

    That is a very cool story! Thanks so much for sharing and I very well might steal your secret trick :D
    I too am a lover of LuLuLemon - I just so happen to be going on a holiday in a couple of weeks and guess what store I have had in my mind to shop at?? Guess! Give up? LuLu!!
    I don't have one where I live and it's too difficult to buy online (due to the price pretty much)
    So everytime I'm running or whatever I keep thinking over and over... HOLIDAYS....SHOPPING.....HOLIDAYS.....SHOPPING!
    I'm super pumped - I do believe I will be buying a couple sizes smaller than what I own now :):D

    GO FOR IT!! LOL! I think you should totally go into the store and treat yourself, it makes doing all this a little more worth it. And yes, the bank card thing works if all you need is a little urging. :)

    Thank YOU for your replies as they are encouraging to me.

    I think it's these NSV that really keep us going.

    Thanks everyone for your responses and your continued support. :)
  • Really great success story, thanks for sharing. I do believe that having visual reminders of your goal is a great motivator. Am totally going to put your secret into practice today!! This year I will post my success story, With 63lbs down and 26lbs to go I can almost touch it!!

    Actually we totally do. However, I won't share those pants, they're mine (much to her disappointment). Lol. :)

    Wonderful story. Shoot I would cry if I fit into the size 12!

    It's totally doable! Their pants are a little forgiving so I'm sure the next crying will be done when (and if) I fit a size 4 pair of jeans. You can do it! :) *thumbs up*
  • Congratualtions for all your sweat and tears that got you too where you are today!!!! And like the others said what a great story .
  • I love your story! Great work accomplishing your goal! I'm so proud of you!
