So happy for you!! I hate to shop too as I have so much trouble finding something to fit me. But I know how it feels when you lose and can find things fit for a change!! It's a wonderful feeling!! And I can't wait to feel it again and this time it's for good....I never ever want gain weight again. You are an inspiration!

Rock on!

I bought 3 pairs of size 12 slacks at The Limited the other day. This time last year I couldn't have fit my one leg into anything The Limited carried (size 22).

It's a great feeling, isn't it???

I sort of felt like this a few weeks ago, I went to Ross, tried on a fitted shirt and looked in the mirror... wow, is that ME? I refused to shop for a long time since I regained some weight, MOST in my fat stomach so I couldn't wear any shirts except xl and loose. This is a geographic bright blue shirt, it's cute as can be and it FITS! Now I need to stay away from stores and ebay and internet sites as much as possible as I'm on a money diet too, shopping was my hobby and it's not going to be for a long time. My clothes are getting lose so I bought a few size 10 jeans, a few new shirts and THAT'S ALL for now.

What a great story, midwife! Congratulations - you've put in so much work!

And I'm one that hates shopping, too. I used to love it, but I detest it now. Of course, I was in a size 10 back then when I loved shopping and an 18 now. Why don't you give recreational shopping another try. I have a feeling you'll begin to love it!

I am late to this celebration. But hey, better late then never.

Midwife, I can't tell you how unbelievably happy I am for you!!!! Thanks for the reminder - you are soooo right - "Nothing, absolutely NOTHING tastes as good as being thin feels".

Congratulations on a job well done and keep up the amazing work.

Midwife I am SO pleased for you!

A few weeks ago me and my friend went shopping and I tried on some UK size 12 jeans (I kind of jumped from a 16 to a 12 ) and almost burst into tears when they fit and I was so happy that my friend almost started crying too! So, I know how you're feeling right now!
