So, i went shopping...and I liked it! Boy oh boy is my husband in trouble! Not only did I shop in a non-plus size store, I fit into pants that were a size 12 - never before! And, I bought a medium shirt...seriously (the only reason why I did have to get some large's was b/c of my boobs - 60 odd pounds down and the bra size has not changed 1 inch). First time ever I came home without an XL in the bag or a W after the size. What pure motivation to keep on track and keep going.

And, for the first time ever, Im not motivated by food..well if you do this you can have an ice cream sundae. Nope! I told my husband once I reach goal I am going to Ann Taylor and going on a spree! I can't tell you the high I had last night driving home from the store.

Congratulations!! Isn't shopping amazing now? It's like a drug for me. I am still in the plus sizes (20 jeans) but down from a 28-30. I can't wait to hit 18 and buy my jeans at Target.

have fun at Ann Taylor!

It is totally awesome. You will get there I promise. And when you do, I want to know how YOU feel!

I still have 35 pounds to go til I hit goal and I get my bonus in February SO i figured by then I should be on my spree :) Now, I just need to learn how to accessorize LOL.

Clothes NSVs are some of the best!  And good job on retaining the boob size - most of us are not so lucky :-(

Shopping at a normal size is amazing!  Screw the ice cream, give me a pair of size 8 jeans any day!
