I called my mom and my husband and shared this info with them... they were both very "ok" with saying congrats and all but I just didn't get the feeling they REALLY knew how BIG OF A DEAL this was... so I am sharing it with you all I know you WILL UNDERSTAND exactly where I am coming from and the excitement I had when this happened!

I ordered a sweater from my local Fashion Bug and had the ladies that worked there help me figure out what size to order. Now, I generally wear a 1X in most tops. I had on an XL jacket on the day I ordered the sweater and told them I had lost weight and was still loosing. They both suggested just get an XL, so that is exactly what I ordered. It came in and I tried it on AND IT WAS TOO BIG- it fit somewhat in some areas but after talking to the manager of the store she really thought that a LARGE would fit much better... OMG DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG ITS BEEN SINCE I HAVE WORN A LARGE ANYTHING??? So freaking long I don't remember when it was! I was so excited that I ordered 2 of those suckers!!! I am a wee bit worried that I may fall inbetween the L and XL right now but if I do I am pretty sure in the next couple of weeks I won't be!!! I was so happy and excited that I think it took 2 hours, or more, to get the smile off my face!!! Hope everyone had a good weekend and thanks for allowing me to share my NSV with you all!

    Congratulations! I went shopping yesterday and had a similar experience - I tried on a UK size 18 dress, thinking that it would be too tight, and it was too loose. The 16 fit, but is still a little tight to be flattering, so I'll try again in 5kg time! This shop has more generous sizing than most shops here, but the excitement of trying on a 16 and doing it up...! I haven't worn a size 16 dress since I was about 13!

    Not sure about this yet... I really hate pictures of me yet! We recently had some family pics taken and I had lost only 15 pounds at the time- but everyone could tell I had lost some weight- but those pictures.... damn some of them really made me feel so fat and awful! It didn't help that everone else was in a "darker grey or black" so that just made ME stand out even more... ugh - :cry: So with that in the back of head now I REALLY REALLY hope the larges fit when I pick them up... who knows if they do and I like the way they fit I may snap a pick to share with everyone. :laugh:

    TOTALLY get it! Good for you - keep going!

    One of my goals is to get rid of every single X or W (for women's sizes) in my closet by next summer.
