    First I have to say, I love your hair cut that way! You look wonderful.
    I am also saying good riddance to Lane Bryant and all "woman's" sizes. The clothes in these sizes were Horrible! They are the last resting place for polyester, pockets on boobs, and shoulder pads...shudder. They have the ugliest patterns, usually with a big flower planted in each butt cheek, and the most dismal color selection of black, brown or oatmeal. The people who design and sell large clothing must really hate their clientele to provide such ugliness.
    I'm currently a 14, but I just bought a few jeans at Goodwill, (for $7), because I expect to moving to smaller sizes before spring. I don't want to spend a lot of money on clothes that will soon be too big.

    your transformation is AMAZING! How long did it take you? I am with you on the Lane Bryant thing. That's about the only store I can shop at too besides Goodwill :-). I am wearing a 20 now and that in itself should be enough to motivate me to lose weight.:smile:

    WOW!!!! You are an inspiration!
    LOVE the hair,btw.
    One of my motivators to loose weight also was to buy attractive clothing. Plus, I'm tired of paying $40 for a shirt at LB when I can get one for less than 1/2 that in smaller sizes elsewhere.
    And yes you do look 10 years younger! You're a Rockstar<3
  • Lol. That is awesome. I love that I am beginning to be able to move into normal stores. I can't buy pants at LB anymore, but I'm still a 14/16 in tops.

    Congrats on that milestone. Another 25/30 lbs and LB will be off the table for me too!

    Thank you so much. I always hated shopping at Lane Bryant, not only due to my size but due to the fact that the plus size clothes are horribly ugly. I second everything you just said.

    Awesome! You look fantastic, and so much younger!
    Have fun shopping! =)
  • You are so inspirational! I shop at Lane Bryant now and I cannot wait to get out of there and into the "regular" stores!! My husband has been using MyFitnessPal for the last 5 months and has lost 65 pounds! I'm really excited about my new journey with this new program (for me)! Thanks for posting this story.

  • I used to WORK at Lane Bryant because I got mad working at a retail store I couldn't even shop in. Just started MFP, and I'm so encouraged. My first big goal is to not be able to shop in LB anymore. Thanks for the motivation reminder!

    That's always been my dream, to get out of the "fat ladies" store. My husband and I love to travel, but my fear is that if my luggage was ever lost I would be screwed. Plus sizes are not always easy to come by , especially if you in a foreign country. That's my goal to get into a size that would allow me to shop anywhere. Congratulations on your success, I can't wait to get there!
