I agree! Hard work does pay off and you should flaunt it Monica! I too am dressing up a lot more then I ever have before. It feels great to get up in the morning and figure out what I'm going to wear for the day. I'm wearing another new pair of heels today....love it!
Me? I'm still wearing my "fat clothes", you know the jeans with the sagging butt the belt pulled to the tightest hole and the shirt that used to be tight but now is two sizes to big. This is wk 6 for me and I've lost 21 lbs and close to 18" : ) I live in a small town with little shopping options, I'm trying to wait for two more weeks when we will be in a city with unlimited shopping choices! Funny how up until 6 wks ago I wouldn't put my jeans in the dryer for fear that they would "shrink" - now I dry them on hot and hope that I can get by with wearing them for another two weeks!!!
I ordered a two piece bathing suit today - yeah okay, almost a bikini . I plan on trying it on and taking a photo (in my mirror) once a week until I'm thin enough to wear it out into the backyard for tanning! Then when I reach my goal I'll start exercising and tone up. Then watch out world LOL

6-8 wks ago I had to hit the resale shops...after taking 25+ bags of stuff to goodwill. It's been fun to wear "new to me" stuff with a few really new items and see people at meetings and a few social events these last weeks. We are going to the beach the second week of June and a lot of that stuff is now getting big...!! Also the beach weather will be different than the spring has been in the middle Atlantic ...so ..yesterday ....a sale at Chicos at our mall kept me occupied. Got a collection of slacks, real casual dig in the sand beach shorts and tops that were almost all on sale...and had help from a young sales girl who was pulling things for me to try on. She was finding things from a rack that was already reduced 40-50%...then reduced by another 30%! I got several things for about $20 each which is in line with the resale shop in town. Favorite is a pair of wild floral print SKINNY slacks...some sleeveless tops and a fuschia travelers short sleeved shirt...gorgeous royal blue slacks...with a bright yellow t-shirt or a lime green one...the shirts and bottoms all mix and match, but I wanna wear the floral print slacks to my book group tonight!

Way to go on the bargain shopping! Everything you got sounds so fun. I might need to stop into Chico's on my way home to browse the clearance racks too.
I agree everything sounds great! I'm really getting into wearing more colour these days instead of black and greys all the time. I'm sure you will look great for your book group!
yes...we all deserve to color ourselves bright and happy with whatever we are wearing these days!!
I hear there is actually a Chicos outlet in Lancaster PA...I'm thinking....
Solo road trip! ...looking at the calendar....wonder if I can get there before we leave for vacation.
Here's the dress I bought and wore to a wedding last weekend. Never in my life would I have thought I'd wear a dress in size 4 petite!!! I was wearing 22 pants or 2X. Now I'm in size 6 pants!
I took a bunch of photos just now. I'll post them in the next few days.
