cried while shopping...in a good way!

JustCallMeAmy · 09-27-2009, 05:10 PM

i went shopping today with my best friend downtown and omg, milestone!!!! last year i started off as a size 22 pants and 2xl tops. i've since lost 102lbs and can wear size 12 or medium bottoms and medium tops & jackets...even from itty bitty skinny people stores like hollister!!!!! i had never even stepped into a hollister in my life before because i never thought anything there would fit let alone a medium!!

i just can't believe it!!! i'm thrilled!! thanks everyone here for the support and love, you've helped me get here

Fantastic ! How proud you must be !

I'm in Ontario also, about 3 hrs down the 401 from you.
What was your eating plan like ? Any info. is welcomed. Did you hit the Low-Carb store in Toronto at all ?

yep, sure do! i live about a 10 min drive from there, i go about once a month or so! as far as my eating plan, i don't follow an exact diet such as atkins etc..just low carb, and eat generally less than 20-30 grams of carbs per day. some days more, some days a few less. i only recently started exercising more too, so it was all pretty much done just by diet.

Thank's for sharing.I went shopping or looking at clothes. I want new jean's but not going to by anything yet.Can't fit in a medium so their's no need even looking.But step by step I will be there.Just like you.I'm proud of you great job.I'm following the leader.:

What a great story!

LynnMinmay · 09-27-2009, 07:45 PM

Im so happy for you! I haven't been shopping at a trendy store for the longest time (and I used to frequent them weekly). Don't forget, this is just the beginning for you! Once you hit single digit jean sizes and fit into SMALL shirts (or even XS!) you'll really start to bawl!!

PhoenixMom · 09-27-2009, 08:53 PM

Congratulations. I look forward to the day that I no longer have to shop at Big & Tall - but that's probably two years down the road. Your story inspires me.
