Went shopping (NSV)
Ok so eight weeks ago I was shopping at Lane Byrant and buying a 22W, sometimes the occasional 20W depending on the style. I have purchased two pairs of jeans since then one was a 18W and the other a 20W but they are now beginning to look like I am wearing a diaper especially if I don't belt them to keep them up.
Yesterday I got brave and went to Target to look for a few dress pants since all mine are huge. I decided to shop in the ladies instead of the womens and since I had no idea on sizes I picked up a 14, 16, and 18 to see which worked. Now granted I know what works in one brand wont work in another but.........I got the size 14!!! It is a tiny bit tight across by stomach but fits my legs and waist perfectly.
I went down around 5 sizes!!!! I couldn't believe it!
I also had to get workout pants since mine are falling off when I sweat. LOL I got an XL and my previous pairs were 2X. Then I got even braver and tried on a shirt from the Juniors in an XXL and it fit fine!!!! Of course it is a loose fit shirt so I know it in no way means I am tiny but I was thrilled that for once I didn't have to buy anything out of the Womens section!!!!

I'm so happy for you and use this as a motivator to keep u working hard and reach ur goal! get it girl! :)
Last year I lost 30 lbs on Weigh****chers and was SOOO excitec when I could find clothes in the regular racks. However, my bliss didn't last for long and I gained 40 lbs back! I had SWORN that I would never go north of 200 again. That will teach me to swear.
So, i don't have a surgery date yet but I cannot wait until I can wear regular size clothes! I totally understand how exciting it is to go down in size. Sadly for me... I had gotten rid of all my larger sized pants.
