mattie7632 24 Posted March 27, 2011 Finally, a difference in more than just the scale.< /p> My 18W's got too big but I could fit into regular 18's which are now too big also, so I had to go buy a size 16 jeans Yippee. Still not a size to be proud of, but now I don't have to shop in the fat lady section anymore 1 rowekins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be surprised how much $$ u can save & with quality. No one has to know but you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJLaw08 4 Posted March 29, 2011 Congrats. It's a great feeling isn't it? I am in need of some new pants, but I guess I will wait until later in the year since it is almost short weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomorejellybelly 77 Posted March 29, 2011 Congratulations! I know I've been greatly enjoying buying smaller sized jeans. I saw the comment about Goodwill and I totally agree. I am such a thrift store junkie now, that I can't imagine paying retail for all my clothes, even after I lose all my weight. Why would you want to, when you can get practically new (and sometimes with tags still on) clothes for way less than 1/2 price. Definitely try out the thrift stores.

Melissannde 41 Posted March 29, 2011 Well, I AM proud of my size 16 jeans. Coming from a 34/36 or 6X and not being able to find jeans at all... I don't mind wearing 16's in the least. I am heading towards smaller ones though. I say walk tall and be proud of any weight loss accomplishment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emsbugbug 7 Posted March 29, 2011 I bought new jeans last week...Size 18! I have been wearing my old size 26's for so long just trying to hold them up with belts and stuff, but it was time to send them packing (to the goodwill). Congrats on the new size, it is so exciting! Just remember, don't hang on to those old BIG sizes. Give them away, throw them away, sell them...whatever you do, don't keep them. Don't give yourself an excuse to gain a pound!!!!!

MrsCabes 2 Posted March 29, 2011 Aw, congrats! By far, the best feeling ever - when your jeans are too big, falling off and you need to get a size smaller...often! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingGroovy 2 Posted March 30, 2011 Congrats to all! It is very exciting fitting into the next size down...no matter what size that may be. I also did some shopping this past weekend. I finally cleared out my closet and gave 3 bags of clothes to goodwill. I'm down 2 sizes so far and i feel great...hubby keeps giving me compliments...wahoo!!! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
