The scale has paused again right before century so it may be a few more weeks. Thanks

Oh my....went to Old navy today and the women in the dressing room says, "Oh, I haven't seen you in awhile."..I laughed. Apparently she just wasn't working.....the last time I was in the guy at the check out knew me!

I guess that says something about how often I go there. I actually fit in an elastic waist 2xl girls skirt today.....so my daughter and I each got one so we could be "twinkies".....she was tickled about that.

Marty...when they start to send you thank you cards after shopping, that is the point where you need to cut down. That is cute about you and your daughter. Having two boys I don't think it will happen for me, but my oldest (4 years) loves going to the lingeree dept....hmmmm is it a sign???

LOL......I doubt they will send me thank yous......unless it's for clearing out their old inventory!

I get all the awesome clearance prices. The skirts were $4.99.......I got my daughter swimsuits for $3.99........jean capris for $6.99, and it was not one of me best trips! That's cute about your son.....does he have good taste in lingerie? While your waiting to see where his interest in it lies....you could always make a few bucks having him help men shop on Valentine's Day!

Dyann,
Isn't shopping frustrating when you are that inbetween area? I went to Bloomingdale's on Thursday after work to find a dress for a baby shower in a couple weeks. All the 14W's in the "big girl" section were too loose and the 16's in the regular section were a little snug. I figured since I am still losing I would by the dress a little snug but then that old voice crept up and told me I may not get smaller. So, I did not get the dress but then I told that voice to shut up, and I went to the shoe department for a strappy heel! I have found Old Navy and the Gap are my best friend! For some reason the 16's fit me no problem! Best of luck with the shopping.
