Just had to share this....

Postby Allison Onederland » April 8th, 2006, 10:07 am

For anyone in doubt about MF working... :D

Today is our 16th wedding anniversary. Hubby wants to take me out to dinner and a movie (nope, not gonna cheat!) tonight but all my clothes were waaay too big. I've lost 34 lbs., the same as what I lost a few years ago on Atkins but apparently I've lost a lot more inches because all of my clothes from back then are too big. Soooo, yesterday I went shopping for clothes!

As usual I headed for the Women's Dept. at Dillards. A dozen outfits later the sales girl said, "honey, you need to go to the misses department!" Even the 14W was too big!!

:whoohoo: :coolnana: :coolnana: :coolnana: :cleader:

I came home with MISSES size clothes!!! I'm so happy I could cry!! :tears: One pair of size 18 MISSES black linen pants and four MISSES XL tops. Yup...I like the sound of that word... misses. :lol: I cannot remember the last time I was able to shop in the Misses department!! Unfortunately the size 18's were as scarce as hen's teeth but that just gives me incentive to stick with MF and get the weight off so I'll have more choices!! :thumbup:

I want to thank all of you for being such a great inspiration for me! :bow: I couldn't have gotten this far without you! :bighug:

One of my biggest joys, and it appears yours too, is the sheer joy of having to buy/wear smaller clothes. WAY TO GO !!!

Hi, Allison!

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary - that is wonderful!

:secret: This will be an anniversary to remember, too.

Significant anniversaries have special gifts associated with them – the traditional first anniversary is associated with paper, Tin and Aluminum with the 10th, the 25th wedding anniversary is the "Silver Anniversary," and the 50th is known as the Golden Anniversary.

Alas, there are no significant specific gifts associated with the 16th anniversary but guess what? :huh:

You are starting a new trend! :yes:

This 16th Anniversary is now known as the Misses Department or the Thinnin’ Anniversary! Yeah! :yeah:

This is a special milestone for you and also serves as an incentive for others, too.

:wave: Good-bye Women’s Department, :byebye: Hell-lo Misses’ Department!

We’re :cheers: raising our shaker jars to your thinny success.

(BTW, with Medifast we do lose the flabber and not the muscle tone so that’s why you are smaller than you were at the same weight previously)
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels...
The Formerly FLABulous and Now very Fabulous

:whoohoo: :whoohoo: MISSY ALLISON!

Way to go with the thinny clothes. Out with the Women"s, In with the Misses!

Congratulations on the Happy Anniversary and many more thin ones to come. Inspiring!

Gives me an opportunity to give a 'heads up' for my Sunday Roll Call post! I made the 30# Club this week! Excited!

I am having the best time going through my 'closet store'. My 18-20's are OUT! 16's are fitting loose, and most of my 14's feeling good.

Ain't it fun?

The end of this month is our 17th anniversary! I hope I can say I lost a few...well more than a few....and once I get to losing I hope I can fit into an outfit I have bought for myself before I got pregnant 8 years ago when I was losing....it's a 13 juniors....I would love to wear it for Christmas this year.....I know I won't be able to wear it for my 20th high school reunion....but end of the year definitely.

Keep up the good work.....Allison...and congrats!!!!!!!
