in Success Stories
When I started my journey I was 237.8lbs and a size 22 in pants and 2x in shirts. This is the heaviest I ever was. Right now I am 196lbs and size 16 (this is a regular 16 not a woman's 16) and a large-medium shirt depending. OMG!!!

I cam so excited that I can't purchase items from Avenue anymore or go to the "plus" size section. It is really nice to walk into a store knowing I have more choices in the clothing I can wear. Simply amazing!

I don't have any new pics, but I will soon.

    Thank you so much. This statement means a lot to me. When I started I needed to lose 102lbs and friended people in similar situations who had lost 30-40lbs already for inspiration. It has taken me a long time to notice that I am the person I friended to inspire me to get where I am.:wink:

    Congratulations on passing the 200 mark. Doesn't that feel Fantastic. Never want to see that number on my scale again. I love it when my body makes a deffinate size change. I don't know what stores you have locally, but I am stuck in Reitmans between clothing sections. I am 5foot 3 and the petitte's are too small, and reg to tall. And now Size wise I am between plus and regular. So I have to scour the whole store. Happy shopping for your new cloths you will need. Don't you find it hard to buy cloths when you are not at the desired size yet? Temporary wardrobe. I like tops that fit at least 3 size changes. They just fall different. Have fun.

    I remember when I was no longer in the womans section and to be honest I felt like all the cute clothes were left in the womans section. I was so used to shopping in that section I felt like I couldn't find anything in the Misses. It was such a weird feeling but now I see that all the cute clothes is in the Misses...you just gotta know where to look. Congratulations to you!!! Keep up the good work!!
