I have a wedding coming up in two weeks, my husband's side of the family. What used to be a dreaded dress shopping experience, today was awesome! I was able to buy a Large from the "normal" womens section!!!! Considering last November I was a size 24 with very limited clothing options, I am so excited!! While I still have a long way to go on my weight loss journey, it is little wins like this that keep me going. Thanks to you all for helping with this journey.

    Great job!!!! So inspiring.

    While I was folding laundry this morning, I was thinking how I am so excited to buy clothes that do not have an 'X' anywhere on the tag. :)

    Congratulations on reaching size large!!!! I am at that in between stage of being able to leave the plus size clothing department and into the 'normal' sizes so I can understand your excitement. Part of my motivation for losing weight was to be able to wear the cuter smaler sizes. You wouldn't think there'd be such a style difference between 1x and extra large, but there is. Enjoy the wedding!
