Not to get off subject but, once you don't fit a 14/16 in Lane Bryant any longer, what size do you go to and where do you shop?

This is so funny that you ask. I recently had this problem as well. It had been so long that I shopped in a "regular" store or department, I honestly didn't know what to do or where to go!

You have to figure out by trying things on, what size you are now, in a regular store. You can try Kohl's or Target or Macy's etc.
Try on 16's and 18's and go from there.

I didn't even know WHERE in the store the right departments to look in were. It really is strange, but you'll get used to it. You might feel like other people in the dept. think you don't belong there. It's just your head trying to catch up to the weight loss. It gets better and much more fun.

The first time, I went I was so stressed out! It got better on the next trip.

Let us know how you make out.

I'm in an 18/20 in Lane Bryant, but I have on some size 16 stretch jeans...I can't wait to get to the 14/16. I've been steadily going down a dress size every 10 pounds. Not out of Lane Bryant yet but, can't wait till that day comes.

I'm in petite's and it's even harder going form plus sizes to petite sizes. They are cut 1/2 inch smaller (not just shorter length) than misses sizes, so the plus sizes were getting too big, but the petite were too small. I found a few brands that fit and kind of just waited it out a bit. Lost a little more and now 16P is fitting pretty well.

It is quite an adjustment. My goal is 12 or 14 in petite so I have more choices. I would love to end up a 10P, but we'll see.

You'll be in those smaller clothes before you know it!

Hit the misses dept. in Kohl's when Lane Bryant is too big. Misses goes up to size 16. Pluses start at 16W which is larger than misses 16. I just got back in there now. It does feel good to shop on that side of the aisle again!

Only down 1 lb this week. I was going to get another fill this week but I'm getting stuck so much lately. Today a small piece of a matzoh ball got stuck. Took almost an hour to get it down. Sometimes I can't believe I have to go through this torture to lose weight! But I want to get to Onederland before summer. I can almost see it over the horizon!

How weird, I thought my name was on this list. Thus the question mark after 189. I'm pretty sure that's where I started at. And I made it to my goal of 185! Yeah! So I've updated it to 180.

Linda, you probably got lost b/c there was a second thread along the way for this challenge, but then we decided to use the original thread and just update our weights.
Nice job, looks like somebody got over that junk food problem, huh? that's was your post, right?
Good for you!

shortgal - yes, I did. I went to my friend's house for a week vacation and she was really watching her weight and exercising, so I kicked the junk food habit and went to the gym with her. I have been avoiding gyms, just working out at home, but now I've got the confidence to go and know I don't look like a fool.

You were on the list and somehow on page 5 you fell off (just like you weight is falling off).
