Bad News: about a year and half ago, I went through my clothes and sold or gave away all my tops and dresses that were smaller because I had pretty much given up that I'd ever fit into them again. Now that I KNOW I will be smaller and I've lost some weight.... I don't have smaller clothes to go into. So....
I was out yesterday running an errand with my man when we were right next to a "Fashion Bug" and decided out of the blue to just go in and try some things on. I haven't shopped there for like over 20 years. I have been wearing size 4x - 5x blouses. I like my blouses loose so they don't show my bulges. But lately all my blouses are quite roomy... "tents" my hubby calls them.
So I tried on a ton of clothes and realized that I have lost 2-3 blouse sizes! I now wear 1x-2x. And I used to wear size 28 pants, and now I fit into 24, so I lost 2 pant sizes. That is pretty cool. Can't wait to get even lower! I walked out of there with this new outfit.
I am so excited to actually go clothes shopping with a friend someday! I have NEVER done that, even as a youth, and I've always wanted to. That is one thing on my "Skinny bucket list" - to have a clothes shopping spree with a friend!
UPDATE!! (May 28th, 2010)
Went through the closet quickly this morning and pulled out 34 tents (oops, I mean tops) that are size 4x-5x and that wasn't even all of them. I mean, I have to leave a few to actually wear until I can get some more clothes! I am NOT sentimental about getting rid of these tops either, even though a few of them have been in my closet for over 10 years! IDIOS old clothes and old size!

Hey Margene... love the new outfit! Isn't it fun to shop for new smaller clothes? I just bought some myself, as my office goes casual for the summer and all my clothes from last year are too big! A cool problem to have.
Also love pic of your hubby all decked out in his suit. He cleans up good! ... that's what I tell my husband on the very rare times he dresses up.
Here's to many more shopping adventures for you!

YAY! Congrats on the MUCH lower clothes sizes!!!!!
Shopping as a thin person was just just fun....by myself, with a friend...anytime. When I was at goal weight, I was a bit of a shopping maniac! LOL

Hello from a fellow Oregonian!
That is so much fun when you discover you are into a smaller size. Congrats on the "shrinkage". ;-)
I love those Capella Flavor drops, too. I first heard about them from Lisa, at 24/7 LowCarb Diner. One of my hubbys favorites is when I sweeten plain yogurt with stevia, then add Boston Creme Pie Capella drops. I use this as a base for a healthy fruit salad. Yummo!
Nice to "meet" you,
Loretta
