Yesterday was my birthday so I went shopping with birthday coupons to Lane Bryant and DSW (and saved over $100 at each place but that's not weight loss journey related). So at LB, I got a pair of 16Tall khaki pants (on clearance)! I honestly can't remember the last time I have worn 16 in pants! And all but one shirt was too big! Even in the 14/16 size! AND I came in under calories even on my birthday and having a good dinner and cake because I exercised :-D There's no way I ever would have chosen to exercise when I didn't "have to" before! I just needed to share these few small victories because they made my special day even more special :-D

    That's awesome! Not slipping up on your exercise routine and diet is the best birthday present of all ;)
    My birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks and I'm going to stay under my calorie limit too.

    Happy Birthday! And congrats :)

    WOW! Congratulations! Wait until you get to by clothes in the "regular" store - it's a GREAT NSV moment (and it sounds like it's really, really close for you!) Happy late birthday!

    What's DSW? I have never heard of it

    DSW is a shoe store- I think the SW stands for shoe warehouse. Usually I don't find anything, but I found 2 pair of clearance shoes and one that was a pretty good price for a wedding I have coming up!
