Then in my shopping quest for something to wear to Thunderbeach, I tried on some 22 shorts at Lane Bryant. They fit!
Some things in Old Navy are actually starting to fit (tops).
It's a good feeling. I havent been a size 20 in about 7 years. And I was only there very briefly. So once I get to a size 18...I wont even know what to do with myself.
What are some other NSV's I would like to see.
These two lovely rolls on my back (one on either side)...they can go.
I would like my fingers to start losing some of their girth.
I still want to be able to see what I am doing when I am shaving my bikini area. Currently I am like Edward Scissorhands down there...just hacking away hoping to get everything. And then I will discover at the beach or somewhere a huge patch I have missed. I am getting closer to this as my stomach gets smaller.
Someday I want to be able to see my clavicle.
Why arent my underwear getting baggy? I think of Sara and her post about saggy panties almost everytime I get dressed. Almost 60 pounds down and still wear the same drawers!
Rock on Amy! Congratulations! Isn't it such a treat to fit into things? I bought a pair of size 20 pants last week - they are a smidge too tight yet, but I wouldn't have been able to zip them up a month ago or get them over my thighs three months ago! As for your panties, buy a new size! Seriously - buy a size or two down and try them on - they'll be a smidge tight, but I bet they'll fit - which give you a reason to TOSS the old ones!
ReplyDeleteHey darling!
ReplyDeleteI just got my dress from Catharine - I'm just about to post about it on my blog. She also sent me a pair of size 20 Gap capris that sound like they'd be perrrrfect for you - they're a bit big on me. They're yours if you want em - e-mail me at angie.cummings@gmail.com!

p.p.p.s. i just had to write the word condomz for the word verification thing. your blog is horny.
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahahah! condomz
ReplyDeletemaybe the next word will be vaginaz
Hmmm, I just thought of saggy drawers this morning.. mine all still fit and I have 2 different sizes of undies in my dresser. Crazy! Not fair!
ReplyDeleteAgain, how tall are you!? I am so jealous of people that are wearing some regular clothes and weigh more than me, kwim? (I mean that in the best intentioned way, I hope that doesn't come across rude!) Just hard to figure what I need to wear to be in an XL when that kinda stuff happens :D
You're doing amazing!!!!!
I am a very tall 5'4"! I totally understand what you are saying about people who weigh more or the same as you but are in a smaller size! I think it has a lot to do with our body shape and of course height. What size and how tall are you? I think for me to fit into a fitted XL (bc I am wearing an XL right now from target...but it is cut way big), so a fitted XL top from like old navy...I would have to be a size 18...which is close to 200 pounds for me. Maybe 215.
ReplyDeleteBecause I weigh more than some (most it seems), it takes a bigger weight loss for me to see a change in my clothes. I am almost 60 pounds down but today I am wearing a pair of slacks that I wore at 327! They must have been tight huh? They are really too big, but I think I can eek a few more weeks out.
As for the underwear, I only wear Hipsters from Lane Bryant, and I too have a couple of sizes in my drawer. I have some 26/28's and some 22/24's. Maybe because of the cut its harder to notice saggy undies.
I know my boobs will get smaller. A boob job is on my list of things to get when I lose the weight and then win the lottery :)
I am 5'4" as well! I wear a 22 pants and on a good day I'll fit into 18/20 tops. I guess I've not braved the "regular" sizes in so long but *perhaps* an XL would fit me these days. I have a couple work tshirts that are XXL and they are quit comfortable now so I'd imagine and XL would be fitting at this point.
ReplyDeleteI also only wear LB undies. Hipsters or those kind with two strings on the hips. I have 22/24 and 18/20 in my drawer and they all fit. Not sure what's up with that.
