Clothing Size Problem



Recommended Posts

My women's size 18s are too big. Women's size 16 fits (16W), but after that i see a problem. Due to the size of my caboose, I need women's sizes. A regular size 16 is too small and there are no size 14 womens - at least not at JCP. I guess I have to wear the 16W until I loose enough weight to fit into regular size 16s.

Thoughts?

You might want to try some other stores. They might have different cuts that fit your body shape better. For example, Old Navy has three or four different styles you could try. Otherwise you could buy a bigger "regular" size and just have it taken in. I wouldn't waste too much money on this while you're still shrinking though.

That's funny. I was going to try Old Navy next. I don't waste too much money. I like to have a least 5 pairs of pants (one of them denim), I just bought a pair of Lee jeans and while they fit in the waist, they are horribly baggy in the thighs. They were $20.

In most stores, bigger regular sizes start at 16, but tomorrow I go to Old Navy. Usually I'd go on Ebay, but I'm at a weird place and have to try things on. Once I get into the size 6-14 range I have plenty of clothes stored - Ones that don't seem to go out of style.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
