I love finding bargain clothes!!! It's so much better than paying in upwards of $50 for a single pair of pants

You are rockin' it girl!! Keep up the grea work! And congrats on those 16's. I tried on a pair of cotton (like sweats type of material) carpi's yesterday, and they are just a tad tight, but when I took them off and looked at the tag, it said 8-10! I almost fell over! Wow! But I will stick with the 14/16' for now. I just feel more comfortable in them.

congrats on the weight loss - hope it stays steady for you. i love our local salvation army - i usually shop there for the kids since they outgrow their clothes fast. most of the items i get them are brand new with tags still on - can't beat a pair of tommy hilfiger jeans for $5 or liz claiborne jeans for $3. i always hit up SA before going to target or kohl's plus the kids (mainly my soon to be 13 year old daughter) loves that she can get double the amount of clothes than she normally would by shopping at SA. it's a good economics lesson!!

Sears is having a "Black Friday" sale this friday. They have jeans on sale for $9.99. I never have luck finding any I like there, but thought I'd pass the sale tip along.

LOL! Thanks everyone. I am getting so close. The only sad part is that I won't look good when this is over. I am not whining though. I will look good with my clothes on anyways. No one can see what you really look like when your clothes are on. Isn't it funny how when I look at everyone else I think they look perfect underneath their clothes but I am sure they have cellulite and stretch marks just like I do. Maybe I can tan & tone what I got and make it look better. The only bad part about tanning is that I am a natural red head and I get a ton of freckles and burn easily. My sister can tan 3 times and she is dark. It takes me at least triple that and I get a little darker with alot more freckles. Maybe I can get a tan in a can. Yes I love thrift shopping but that Sears sale sounds AWESOME! I am going to see if my store is doing it. I love Ross' but the closest one is 2 hours away. 83 pounds is totally amazing. I'm telling you, when I get under 200 pounds I will probably cry.... tears of joy of course.

Amanda, I'm sure you'll be just fine. A lot of it depends on how long you were overweight, elasticity in skin, how quickly you lost, and exercise. I'm sure you can tone up a lot through exercise.

My legs will not be ok. My arms, stomach, waist, should be fine but unless I do some SERIOUS exercise on my legs they are hopeless. That's ok though, I will just never wear shorts or skirts shorter than my knees. I really wanted to go to a water park next summer. I guess I could wear a one piece and some long shorts over it. It's not really a big deal. My husband is the only one who will ever see my legs anyways. He loves me no matter what size I am. I have always been jealous of my friends who had muscular legs, but they gained all their weight in their belly area. At least my stomach will be flat when I am done. I was worried about my stomach but it is really drawing up. Even that little pooch is going away. It is so awesome.
