Who's Wearing Express

When I first started losing weight I went into Express and was like I WANT A PAIR OF JEANS!! No way I was going to fit at that point. A few months later I went in and I saw these amazing grey skinny leg jeans that had some bling on the upper thighs- I WANTED THEM. They were $98- biggest size they had was a 12. I could just about get them above my hips but not all the way on. My friend said to treat myself as a goal- but I couldn't justify spending that much money on a pair of jeans that in my mind may never fit me. A month later I went back- and I was able to pull them on and almost button them. I was so excited. I forgot about them for a while and one day I was looking on the Express website and they had them on clearance for $39!!! I said screw it and I bought them- and they FIT!!!! I only got to enjoy them for about a month- but I have them in my dresser to remind me how far I've come- I passed that size 12 and now fitting into 6's and 8's- HOW CRAZY!!! I also fit into Express size SMALL tops! I never in my life thought I would be a size small in a reg size store.

CONGRATS!!

 How amazing is that!  When I started this journey I thought a 12 was unbelievable but I'm currently in a 14 and still losing at a pretty good clip.  So I now have no clue even what size I will be.  Any single digit # would be AMAZING.

The "clothing" NSV's are just delightful for me. I don't know your height but I started estimating what size I would be at goal. My guess was a 6 or maybe a 4. Well I can get into 2's and a few 4's. There are a few brands where I can get in a 4 (no stretch). It actually starts to get tricky finding some smaller items.

The variety still blows my mind. I can go into some stores and feel dizzy with all the colors--like Forever 21.

 I'm 5'5" so average height and medium build.  My goal is somewhere in the 130-140 range.

When I started I dreamed about being a size 12- I thought it was only a dream. So when 
I hit that size 12 I was the happiest person ever. Than I wanted that 8- something about that single digit.

Months a go I was at the mall with a friend and we were in GAP and there were these cute skinny jeans and she was like try them on!  I was like OK and so she grabs a pair and I was like what size did you get? And she says a 6- I'm like Angela I'm a 12- and she looks at me and is like those jeans are falling off of you no way your a twelve! (She had weight loss surgery about 2 years ago) So I went into the dressing room and of course in my head I'm thinking NO WAY I'm a six- especially when I hold them up and they look like a little kids pair of jeans....needless to say they slid right on and buttoned. I was like OH MY GOD! She yells back WHAT?? I opened the door THEY FIT!!! She smiled I TOLD YOU!!!

 I hold up my 14s now and I'm like, nope those are never going to fit, then they go right on.  Just blows my mind!  And then I think I have 60 more lbs to lose!  

HA HA absolutely think the same thing all the time.

One time I was at the laundry mat -first time washing a lot of new clothes and I was folding stuff and I grabbed a pair of jeans and held them up and for a minute I thought I had grabbed someone elses stuff BC they looked so small. HA HA!!

How tall are you- if I can ask?? Right now I'm at 154lbs and the size 6/8 and I'm 5ft 1- don't think your far from that size 8!!

 I'm 5'5" but carry the bulk of my weight in my stomach.  My ass and legs are almost gone,  to the point that I really dont' know how much more I can lose from there.  At some point my body is going to have to tackle the belly fat, right?

Also the best local store for fittings is Nordstrom. Even if you don't buy from there.

Have you been to the Leesburg Outlet yet?

I still have a little rump- but most of my weight is still in my stomach also.- I see it and still think I'm that really big girl. It depresses me sometimes- cause it's not going anywhear unless I have plastics-and I could never afford that.
