I have lost 37 lb. I have been maintaining for about a month. I started a new job and I am still getting used to working plus being a mommy and doing all of my duties lol....So imagine my surprise when I went shopping tonight. I needed a nice dress to wear to a wedding. The one I wanted was online. I went to the actual store and I couldn't find it..:(:(...Than, I found 1..Thats it....I thought the size said 24..which is too big so I was like ohhh poey..So i asked an employee and shes like ok I think we have 1 and its a 14..i think it will fit you.. I was like what..( I read the tag wrong) I get into the dressing room and I put it on and it zipps right up..:love::noway: :happy: I almost started crying. Showed my husband. He told me I looked hot:drinker: ...So I bought it right than and there. I started out as a 20. I went to the same place 3 years ago when I got married and an 18 was snug...so WOOHOO...A size 14..I can't believe it.
Than I went to Macy's and tried on a size 16 jean..Tommy Hilfiger. Originally 70 bucks...got them for 9 bucks:) Score.!!!!....And they fit beautifully also...:) So proud!
