Great Surprise-I can fit in a medium shirt and size 12 pants!

I went bra shopping yesterday and of course ended up buying a whole bunch of other clothes on clearance. I was shocked to find that I can now fit in a size 12 pant and even more surprised to find that I now wear a size medium in shirts. I kept having to put things back to find a smaller size. (never had to do that before the VSG LOL!)  I've been stalled for a few weeks now at 176, but I guess I am still losing inches.  I have had so much fun buying new (to me- most from Goodwill) clothes.  Now I will need an all new spring/summer wardrobe.  The most fun part of the VSG experience!

Congrats!  It's such an amazing feeling to try something on, see it doesn't look right, then get the slow, dawning realization that you need a *smaller* size.

Happy bargainhunting!

Yay!

I cant wait to go shopping too!! I'm at 179 and in a size 12 pants. Not sure about shirts. I am heading to my local thrift stores once my other "skinny" clothes start falling off me (had a supply of clothes packed away from skinnier says). And by summer I know none of my fat summer shorts and shirts will fit. So looking forward to that as well!! Lookout local thrift stores!

Isnt it fun? Yay for you!!
