I don't think I've ever worn a large, I think my entire life I've been an X-Large. But today I went and bought a new dress because I have a job interview and wanted something to wear. I tried on the large not expecting to really fit into it. Usually my top area doesn't like to fit into a large. Well I feel pretty hot lol...

:) My NSV for today. I woke up and stepped on the scale and it said I gained 3lbs, but it's water weight I know. Because I worked out really hard yesterday and my muscles are probably just tired. But my doc visit today said I lost, so either way this day started out crummy and ended quite nice :).

    Awesome! You look great!

    I recently fit into a size 14 pants............this was huge for me, after wearing up to 18's (and higher) in the past. And they're not that 'tricky' size 14W..........just a plain old 14. Was pretty happy - cuz I dont' have to shop in the PLUS size area anymore :)

    Will be happy to wear a Large comfortably, too...........gettin' there!

    Look nice! And...gaining weight doesn't mean a thing. Muscles weigh more than fat! :)

    You are stunning and will soon be in a medium because that - very nice dress by the way - is loose! Well done! And good luck with the job interview!

    I remember how great it felt getting into Extra Large men's shirts again.

    I have a closet full of clothes that no longer fit - LOVE IT!

    if you really wanna feel great, go to Kohls and check out the Elle brand (at least dresses, not sure about jeans etc). I wear a large/XL but bought a couple dresses in that brand and fit a small/medium. Even tho you know your not that small, it just feels fanfrickentastic to have something in your closet in a size small! lol

    FYI, if you ever shop in the women's section, try a medium at least because a large in juniors is smaller than a large in women's. WTG!! You look great!
