    That is a great store! I am a shopper at heart, but because of my weight right now I really dont like going into stores because I get disappointed.

    I can not wait to have a story like yours to tell. Congrats!:smile:

    I want to do these so badly! I'm a size 8 right now so I can fit into the fun lingerie, but I just don't feel comfortable in it. Can't wait to be a size 4 and give my husband an AWESOME birthday present! :blushing:

    What a great story! I too hate shopping because I can't find anything that fits and when I do find something it is always in the Women's section. I see the clothes in the other sections that are adorable and want to get them but they either don't fit or they surely don't look good on someone my size.

    I too am taking control though. My goal this year is to put myself first more and to take the time to make a healthy lunch for myself and to go to the gym at night. I have started and WILL have the results you have.

    Keep up the hard work!!!!!

    When I was christmas shopping for my two teens I stepped in "Buckle" and saw all the jeans with the pockets full of sparkle... made me sad that I can't fit in them, my husband was disappointed he couldn't fit in some of the shirts. I told him we need to get our butts in gear so we could buy clothes in this store, if we and when we decide to! Reading your success story gives me yet another reason that I am on here logging my food and exercise daily, and fighting for my health, and now another reason is because this girlie wants a really pretty sparkling pair of jeans to slip over my soon-to-be slim butt! Thanks and congrats on reaching one of your goals!

    I think I might try the debit card thing too because it is little extras and fast food that really get me! Congrats on your success, that is awesome! I'm happy for you! :)

    I love this story. How did you loose the weight?

    I started by simply cutting down the portions of what I was eating and I did the "couch to 5K". I tend to get bored with things easily and give up. So I've tried a lot of different exercise methods whether it's weights, running or plyometrics...I just keep trying things. Then I go back and put some of the things I tried back into my routine. The same goes with what I'm eating. If I'm going to do this forever, I have to be able to do it in a way that will last forever. I've read the Atkins books, I've counted points and now I'm counting calories. I'd done the calorie counting before but now it works because of the app that I have for my phone. I'm eating cleaner and applying things that I've read from all over the place to my life. I've decided there is no way I can follow one plan in particular so I'm going to have to do it my way. Unfortunately my way has a lot of bumps...fortunately it's a steady path in the right direction. :)

    Thanks everyone! You've inspired me to do better than I have this last week. Thank goodness Christmas is over. I didn't think it was going to be that tough. I guess that was probably my downfall. Whew. ;)
