Wow, awesome. I still remember the first pair of XL "jeans" I bought from K-mart (I am not spending big bucks on clothes till I hit my goal) they have elastic band but hey they feel so great cause I know what the size tag reads. I used to bust out of 3X and refused to buy 4X............Congrats!!! Oh I would love to have a wii as well...........LOL 

I, too, am still revelling in being able to shop in the regular size department (a little aside here... why is the plus size department considered the PLUS size when the average women in North America is a size 14?... it's all a huge conspiracy, I say!). I still don't feel like I belong there. I keep thinking that people are looking at me wondering who I'm shopping for. I've been plus size for so long (most of the last 18 years) that I am finding it hard to accept an identity as a thinner person. It's all a process, I suppose! I'm sure your hubby is very proud of your weight loss and when he sees you in your new, smaller clothes he will be putty in your hands ; ) That's when you hit him up for the game! 

I'm going through the exact same thing evelyn64! I've been a Big and Tall guy for the last 15 years. Before then, I was 16 years old and my mom did all of my shopping, so literally, I've NEVER shopped in the Men's Department. I've gone from 4XLT to XLT and it's crazy. I can actually buy UNDERWEAR at a normal store!
