Goodbye Lane Brayant !!

mrdalton

I would post before and after pics, but, I took them and cant tell the slightest difference. But the scale says I am down 22 pounds after a little over a year of very hard work. This weekend I had my first real NSV. I went to visit my mom and she had on this beautiful turquise beaded tunic. She had just got it at Macys that day. I begged her to go buy me one but seriously doubted they would have the same design upstairs in the plus size section. (They never do. Boo) So we went into the bathroom at the house and I tried her XL tunic on. And it fit perfectly! I was so thrilled I jumped in the car that very night and headed to Macys to get my own. I got to shop in the regular section at the store!!! Goodbye plus size stores! I went from a 20W / 2X to a 16 / XL. Now, not all the size 16's fit depending on brand but we are still on this journey. A whole new world of clothes shopping just opened up to me! I even saved the XL tag and hung it on my wall for motivationl. LOL. Cant wait to go on vacation and show off my new clothes. Things are starting to pay off. All I can say, is have patience.

I love fitting into new/old clothes. With warm weather hitting hard here in Michigan I decided to try pulling out some clothes I haven't been able to fit in for three years and they fit better now than they did when I bought them! Keep up the good work and the changes will keep coming!

That's hilarious!!!

To the original poster, congrats girl!! What a great feeling!! I've continuously flirted with plus sized clothes depending on how big I've let myself get, but I was just shopping the other day and all the plus sized clothes seemed way too big on me when I tried them! Keep up the great work!

Great NSV!!! I also started at a 20W pant size and 2X shirt size and recently bought a pair of 18 (not from the plus size section) jeans and an XL shirt. It felt awesome!!! Great job! I'm sure there will be many more NSV's in your future!
