    Holy Bejeebers, the 220s..gone in a flash!

    Whoa! I just noticed something just now. On April 30th I weighed 232 lbs and today I weigh 221! I am so used to taking forever to get through each "weight decade" (for the lack of a better phrase). I figured I would be hanging out in the 220s for at least 3 to 4 months. I simply cannot believe I will see the "teens" in a few days. I haven't weighed in the teens since 1997.

    I thought I was dreaming yesterday too. I needed to buy a tank top for next week, and like an automaton, I went right to the plus size section. Well, lo and behold, they were all too big! I thought, no, it so can't be, I actually get to shop in the regular sizes? I even bought a sleeveless, fitted button down top...in a normal size! Whaaa??

    I love my new body....Wheeeeeee!!!! :joy :icondance

                            Congratulations, great job!! I too was able to wear regular sizes in the top, before the bottoms.. It is a great feeling to shop in the regular departments.. and everything seems to cost less, which is an added bonus. :nod
