Any local females have plus size clothes to share?
This is a long shot but I have really tapped out all the local thrift and consignment store possibilities over the past two weeks.

My Teens are Clean Eating Too
I have been slowly working into clean eating over the fall, although I didn't try as hard in December since my mom was visiting and we did a whirlwind weekend in New York City.

What Size? What Weight?
I was reading someone's posting here that she weighed in the 290's and was happy to be into Size 20. I found this hard to believe because I am now at 250, and I wear a 24 loosely, but 22 is still too tight.

New Here & Just Joined Curves
I am using this to track my eating and joined Curves because I am horribly out of shape and need to lose 75 pounds! I have been such a failure at everything I have tried over the years. It's painful to admit that. I was close to deciding to do some sort of weight loss surgery, but then we relocated from Southern California…
