Blog to Lose

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

Okay, this is random, but I have to share.  I bought a dress maybe three weeks ago that said L on the label.  I assumed that meant "Large" and bought it without trying it on.  I was in a hurry and with a friend, so I didn't bother.  I got home that night, tried it on, but could barely get it over my butt.  After working out a lot, I thought, Hmmm, I'll try it on again and see if it fits better.  This time I got it on, but couldn't really zip it up.  Frustrated, I checked the label again.  I'm in between M and L now (in some tops at least) and I thought it weird that I couldn't fit into a "large" dress.  Well, the label did say L.....for European sizing.  The actual US size was a size 8.  NO WONDER!  It has now become something I can try on to see how it fits as I lose weight.  Not necessarily a "Goal Dress" since it was super cheap, but something to check my progress.  

And here's a pic of me from Spirit Day on Friday:

I can't wait for the day when you post I zipped the dress up!  It will come!  You are determined!  I love your outfit!  What is the name of your school?  Mine was MHS but Massapequa High School!  We were blue and gold!

I noticed that some countries do numbers differently than ours--like on shoes and clothes--like my size might be a 41 or 21 for example. I don't really know the number.

Keem, yeah, but usually the other countries' sizes aren't the big numbers on the label--usually the US size is.  This time the US number was small and the European number was big.  That's what threw me off.
