Oh thats the true bliss 

THATS INSPIRATION!!! Yes!  

I went shopping for myself right before Christmas. I rarely buy clothes, and everything I had was looking VERY baggy. I still shop at the "fat lady" store, but now I'm in a "ZERO X" (equivalent to size 16-18). Even when I look sickly skinny, the lowest I have ever gotten to was a size 12. I DID buy my first pair of leggins last week, but I haven't been quite brave enough to wear them yet. 

Congrats! Clothing is always a great motivator. 

I Am so proud of you. I needed a reason to smile today and you supplied it.  

Great job! 

Wow, awesome NSV!!! 

Did you still go into the plus size section by default? I still do that and it annoys me, but then I remind myself that I've been shopping in the plus sizes for 30 years and standard sizes for only a year. It will take a while for me to get used to it. 

That sounds so great and amazing 

Nicely done! 

I bought 2 tops that were 0X (so in plus section), but I’m guessing after I lose 10 or 15 more pounds even the smallest plus-sized shirts will be too big. That’s definitely something I look foreword to!  

Congratulations! That's a great transformation. I did the same thing, and I know it's tough from experience. Good work. If you're like me, then you had old clothes stored that you couldn't fit into. So when you get into them again after a long time, it's like getting free clothes!  

The way women’s clothes are sized is kind of dumb - XL (in non-plus women’s) is sometimes much smaller than 0X (plus-sized women’s). 

I wear scrubs to work (which was nice when I was fat lol), but there’s a really cute lab coat I can fit into again 👍🏻. I need new work-out clothes - that’s today’s goal! It took all day yesterday to find a business professional outfit to wear to a conference I have next week.  

Congratulations! You inspire me! 

how exciting! Congratulations .. I can't wait to go shopping in my closet.  

That is awesome!! But how the heck did you keep wearing all those big clothes all that time!?? 

I wasted money on buying smaller sizes as I went along. And I still have 20 pounds to go! 

Well Done!!!  

Fantastic!
