this is a great thread, i hate always thinking about the scale. i bought 2 pairs of 20s while i was a 26. i hope to be in them this month, im in a 22 now and they are getting a bit baggy. i can put the 20s on but can't button/zip. im looking forward to getting in them.

Daqui, Isnt it a great feeling to be sure you will get into them??? Congrts on the progress...you are doing it!

xavier yes its a great feeling, i know im so close. in the past i never would have bought jeans in advance. these were on clearance so i figured why pass up a good deal. i enjoy clothes shopping again,yea!

I do the same thing - up until this point I always had a "smaller" size to work to get into - I'm now in my 12's (started in a 22/24) and just the other day bought a pair of 10's that i can get on but would never wear out in public - they are my new goal - I have to say the look so little :rolleyes2: :thumbup: After that I'll move on to an 8 for my goal .. :bored:

I know what you are saying about them looking small, I was in a 24 and now I'm in a 10 and when I do laundry I pull them out of the wash and have to take a double take to make sure they are mine and I always think to myself wow they're little. Maybe to someone else they would look big but I think they just look so small.

I just finally got into the 10s today...I have tried them on way too many times and they just gave me a huge muffin top...I have a fat waist, the hips are never an issue. Anyway I was feeling pretty good today and thought I'd disappoint myself one more time by trying them on and...WOW they fit!

I dont believe I could just go shopping and randomly buy size 10s though. These are a 10 short Levis and I have to wonder if they run big...whatever, I'm happy!

If anyone out there hasnt seen Lellow's pix with the jeans each laid on top of the other...go to her page and look. I did one of my own for my home screensaver!!

I think clothes is a great goal! my short time goal right now are size 18 jeans that i used to fit in about 2 years ago. Since then i can never find perfect fit jeans. So i cant wait!

I have the same issue with the wide waist so I buy Lowrise and midrise, the midrise fit best and the don't button right on the waist so no muffin top. Next time your in the store just try a pair on and see what you think. I have to wear a belt for the first time in my life, it's really weird.

Clothes are a huge motivator for me, too--but I can't buy in advance, because I'm never quite sure what areas are going to shrink next!
