That is awesome! I missed this somehow when you first posted it, so I'm glad it got bumped back up this morning.

Your progress has been really inspirational to watch, and you always manage to remind me to count my blessings re: my own progress, even when I'm feeling grumpy about how long it's taking, so I thank you for that.

(They are always out of mediums. At every store, not just VS. Being 'average' has its drawbacks after all!)

Woweeeeeee!!! Just so very nice to hear your story, DC.

Congratulations. I've never even shopped at VS because I was sure I couldn't wear anything there...........maybe I should check it out.

That was also good advice on very low carb diets. I've seen a lot of people lose on them just to regain when they stopped. So that's why I took a different route---the lifetime part of it.

How awesome for you! And how inspiring for the rest of us! I can't wait to shop VS again for more than toiletries or cute things for my daughter. I can remember one horrible day, after having son number two. I was passing by VS with my ex husband. There was this gorgeous piece of lingerie in the window that caught my eye. It was just before Christmas, and I commented on how beautiful it was. (hint, hint). He turned to me and said..."I highly doubt they have it in your size. If you lost weight, I would consider buying it for you for Christmas." Well, that's just one of the reasons why he is my ex.

Wow--a Medium! That's incredible--I feel like I will never be a medium, even if I reach my goal weight, I'll feel like I'll never get lower than large (which is ridiculous, I know).

And VS--sexy stuff! Congrats!
