Bought clothes at Old Navy for first time in 5 Years!
 
Hi, all!

Today, on a whim, I went into Old Navy while out and about running errands. I thought it would be motivational. WHen I started, 36lbs ago, I wore a size 24-26. Most of my clothes are baggy, even with elastic and drawstrings, but I haven't bought anything new except a pair of cords, size 22.

Anyhow, back to Old Navy. They had some cute shirts, and I admit it. I wanted one. They only went up to size 20. I decided what the heck. Let's see how close (or far) away I am from this. Maybe I'll get into that size by my B-day (May 26) and buy myself a present.

Well . . . you could've knocked me over with a feather! THE 20 FIT!! :yay:

Whoo hoo! I bought 2. :lol:

And, watch out, I'm eyeing a really sweet skirt that only comes in sizes up to 16! :cool:

Congratulations!!! I know how great that feels when you try on something that you think, NO WAY, that will never fit and it does!!! Way to go, What a great way of life!!!! You'll be in that skirt before you know it!!

Congratulations! Clothes definitely tell the story! I loved Old Navy and I sure will be happy when I can shop there. Orchid

WTG -Old NAvy arrived here just before Christmas - I'm hoping to make my first purchase by the middle of summer. I can't wait for that feeling.
Congratulations!

What a great feeling eh.

Well done. I think that is more of a joy when smaller clothes fit then seeing the scale weight.

congrats.

Good for you, and I bet you look amazing in them!!! I was in Old Navy myself today - I had no idea before that they went up to size 20 - I didn't have as much nerve though to try anything on...enjoy your shirts :)

WTG Sue!

An Old Navy is just being built near my Hair Stylist. Can't wait to go check it out - I'm hearing so much about it here!

Keep your eyes focused on that skirt! :)

Cool Beans Sue...I'm fitting into pants I haven't worn for 5 years. It's a good feeling!!

Try alloy.com. Their jeans are more stylish (MUDD, Paris Blues, Abyzz, Liquid-X), sizes are available from 1-25 (and they run true), with inseams 30-37", and even with shipping, they compare favorably with Old Navy, especially if your order totals more than $75, in which case shipping is free.

Congratulations! And thanks for letting us know. I had no idea Old Navy went up to size 20. Next time I am near one, I'm going to head in there and check out the shirts myself.
