Bob's stores size large!!

I am so excited!! I got up at 4:00 AM with my family to go enjoy the excitement of Black Friday. I got some great bargins and have most of my shopping done. The most exciting part of the whole day though was going to Bob's stores and fitting into a size LARGE zip up sweater! From a 3x to a large I still can't get over it! The joy of being able to shop in a regular store. On another great note there were two recipes on the board for pumpkin sf/ff mousse and pumpkin cheesecakes. I made both of them for Thankgiving and they were so delicious! I didn't feel as though I missed a thing this year. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Sandy

Sandy - that's GREAT! So, what's the grand total for you? You must be looking so FABULOUS! Tammy

Hi Tammy, How are you feeling and how was your Thanksgiving? The grand total right now for me is 68 pounds! I can't even believe that! I am looking much better, although fabulous might be a stretch, I do feel fantastic! Sandy

Wooo Hooo Sandy, that's fantastic. Congratulations girl!!!! And just think, you still have a long way to go before your done with these great experiences. Isn't it exciting? Hugs, Maggie

Hi Maggie, I am so glad they found out the root of your problem. I hope you are feeling great by now. You must have been so discouraged with all that pain. Sorry to have missed you at the gathering. I am very excited at this journey! Sandy

Sandy, I know what you mean! I too was a 3x and am down to a L at Old Navy!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!! Never could shop in those stores before either...I keep heading for the Women's sizes and then I realize... back to the "regular" sizes!!! It is a great feeling isn't it? I made the pumpkin cheesecake from the post and it was awesome! Don't feel like I missed a thing either this year except maybe the 53 lbs that I lost!!! JA

Hi JA, I know what you mean. This is the first time since surgery that I actually tried something new on, so I was quite shocked that it fit. I think I was more trying it on to see how much further I had to go before it would fit! It is such a wonderful feeling to buy something that I liked rather then because it fit! My whole family loved the cheesecake so I made it again today. It was really so good. Sandy

Congratulations Sandy...Shopping is so much fun..although I am finding out that I have NO style! I stopped at Fashion Bug and tried on size 16 jeans that buttoned and zipped..and they fit! Too bad the legs were too big...go figure! Joanie

Hi Joanie, Wow I haven't even attempted pants that button or zip! Maybe someday soon! That will be a dream come true for me. Congratulations to you! If only we could get a spot on "What not to wear" along with the $5000 Visa card. Sandy

Woo Hoo! Congrats! I would vote for the two of you to be on that show!! Love, phyllis
