NSV-I know this does not sound like much to most but it almost brought a tear to my eye I was so happy!!!! For the first time in at least twenty years I was able to purchase clothes at a regular store, Not on line or at the Big and Tall store. I bought clothes at a regular store where all people shop for clothes. Not a big deal but wow it has been a long time!!!!

    That's awesome, that was by far my best NSV. That is a big deal. More selection and less money. Those Big and Tall stores make money hand over fist off overweight people cause there are limited options for them.

    That's awesome. I know how it feels. I am excited that I can buy some clothes at target now. I can actually fit into some 2x clothes... granted some is a bit tight but before i had not chance in hell. I even bought a jacket marked down from $40 to $20. I can zip it but it's a bit snug when I do. I just know in a month or two it will fit normal. It's a great goal. Now I just can't wait to get some jeans from target.

    I know the pain. I used to have to buy cothes at Torrid and Lane Bryant. I also wouldh have to buy clothes in the xl and sometimes xxl in regualr stores.

    Since I started my journey in February at 170... 4 lbs lighter than my heaviest, I have lost 42 lbs... 46 if you count the extra four lbs. That for me equates about 7-8 sizes. I went from an xl/xxl or 18/20 to a s/m or 6/8. I went shopping today with some gift cards to Kohls I got for Xmas and was shocked to discover I could fit into a Junior's size seven pair of jeans, they are a little snug, but not uncomfortable. Not only that but I got them at a steal for only $6.40 on sale from $36 after having them 80% plus another 20% off coupon!
