I just have to say that shopping now is way more fun! It is truly exciting to pick out tops, dresses,and Jeans and be selective about what I actually like VS. buying it because it fits.

Just saying..............

I can't wait until I can say this!!! Ive never been able to be selective about my clothes. I usually wear mens t-shirts because they are long enough and they fit!! Can't wait to buy "cute" clothes!!!

I HAD to go shopping the other day because I did not have one thing that fit. I am 5 weeks out and could not believe I had gone from 22w and bought a 16w. Went from 2x tops to 1x and some xl tops. Boy was I shocked!!!! Can't wait til the next big size change.

I loved calling the "big size" catalogue people and telling them I couldn't wear their stuff anymore!

I love this aspect of the weight lose. I wear linen brand and have for years. I was in a 3x pants, and another 10 lbs will be a size small. I love the way clothes hand on my body. I spend much time shopping.
I can shop in regular clothing stores, I have so many more choices. I some times have to stop and pinch myself to make sure this is all real.

Glad to hear of your success, too!

I have always loved to shop, even when I was a 3x. I guess you could call me a shopaholic.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
