Although I've yet to meet my first goal, I am so happy about something that I just had to share it with you!

 

For the first time in about 7 years I FIT INTO A PAIR OF JEANS!!! Not the stretchy kind with the elastic waist, but real jeans! WITH A ZIPPER AND POCKETS! This may not seem like a big deal, but I hated the stretch 'denim leggings' i've been squeezing into for years.

 

When my friend and I go to rock concerts, I have to give her my phone and money to carry in HER pockets, because I have none and dont want to take my purse in. Hated that! frown.gif ...not to mention I felt like a total dork. How uncool are stretchy denim leggings on a 250 pound woman, right??? :confused:

 

At my biggest, I was in a 26-28 stretch pant and yes, I was stretching them out! :ohmy: Now that I've lost 63 pounds I got brave and ordered some jeans from Roamans a few weeks ago in a size 24 (I still have the body image that I'm still 266 pounds!) and they were huge! I had to send them back. When I went to reorder, all they had left was a size 18! Booooooo! I wanted to order a 22, but....

 

Well, I ordered them anyway, telling myself that I would fit into them at some point in the future... I really liked the style and fit. PLUS they were on clearance.

 

Anyway, I tried them on last night, just to see how close they were to fitting me, AND THEY FIT! THEY ACTUALLY FIT!!! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

 

I cried so hard! My daughter didnt understand why I was crying... I couldnt explain it. I thought I'd never fit into a regular pair of jeans again.

 

Yes, I know they do make jeans in larger sizes, but I never liked the way they looked. My thighs are huge so they would always be too baggy on the bottom (I'm not a fan of wide legged pants). Or they would be too low in the waist... or create muffin-top... or bag out in the back... or have hangy crotch. I finally gave up trying to buy jeans. Although I've lost some weight, I just didnt feel good in the many i've tried on and always left the store depressed and dejected.. WHICH in turn made me wonder why I was wasting my time trying so hard to lose weight when I would never be able to look the way I wanted. I know... I know... self sabotage.

 

I was always hoping that SOME DAY I would be able to wear some jeans and feel good in them. :wub: THAT DAY IS TODAY! I'm so happy! biggrin.gif

Enjoy those pockets (I'd be putting my hands in them all day long!)! Size 18 from a 26-28 is an amazing change! I had on my old size 20's to hike in (I'm in a 'new' 16) at the GC and I had to pick through all my photos to share because I had the same problem (we're built the same...I have thunder thighs)...my crotch was down to my knees LOL! Wear those new jeans proudly!! -BG

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
