Forensikchic 528 Posted February 22, 2012 As many of you know, my weight lately has been hanging around the same number. I broke into the 160's about 5 weeks ago and stayed at 169 for three weeks, then dropped to 166.5 and have been there for two. It just seems like this stall lasted longer and was immediately followed by another stall. I was feeling a little down yesterday when I realized it was time to measure. I measure every two weeks. Lo and Behold I am down 2 inches in the hips and one in the butt and also a half in my thighs! IN TWO WEEKS! No weight change either. Baffleing. I even measured twice. How can this be? I dont know but I will take it. I guess all that zumba and walking with a weighted vest is paying off. I will be smiling all the way to gym tonite! My big celebration for today is that I am wearing a size 10 jeans for the first time in 22 years or so. I havent been this small since before I got pregnant with my first child at the age of 22. WOW. Tears of joy. I may not be able to wear all size 10 jeans but by golly I am wearing these! They dont have a lot of spandex either. Very little in fact. I also bought a size 10 blazer and it fits well in the sleeves and all! OMG! I was a size 20 when I started this so I guess I am half my size! I am almost in single digits!!!!! WHAT???? Somebody help me to comprehend this! I am doing this! I love my sleeve! 10 mocha, longer-life, Liliana Arleen and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted February 22, 2012 Yep! that's you in the size 10 jeans. I find that I wear a size 10 in Lee's and they feel and look great. However, in slacks, I wear a size 8. Love it. CONGRATS! Keep smilin as you Rock that Sleeve! 1 Living again 11/17/2011 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forensikchic 528 Posted February 22, 2012 Most of the jeans I am wearing now are 12's and they are getting very baggy however, not all 12s will fit?? I guess its the difference in the cut. I dont care. These jeans are Aura made by lady wrangler. They are super cute and fit my body shape like a glove. I have some 14's, 12's and now 10's in this same brand/style. LOVE THEM. I have a curvy figure like an hourglass so its kinda hard to find jeans to fit my hips and butt and not be gigantic in the waist. These are awesome for people with my build. Thanks women of wrangler! I cant wear a 10 in much else except a suit jacket. The dress pants are a little snug through the thighs/butt in a 10. I will wait patiently........ lol. 1 Doreykn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3.0 140 Posted February 22, 2012 Congratulations! That must feel so good! I was just noticing the same thing - my scale is moving slowly, something like three pounds in the last two weeks. BUT I am down another size in jeans. Woot woot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3.0 140 Posted February 22, 2012 People worrying about stalls should be directed to this thread so they don't panic or feel down. It's so uplifting to know that changes are happening even if the scale doesn't move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julie76 251 Posted February 23, 2012 Wow! It's really is nice when you start seeing these kinds of changes. I have had to buy new jeans lately and I took my daughters with me. They kept asking why I was trying on such big sizes and I just didn't realize I was. Years of being used to covering up all the fat had me convinced that I had to. I ended up buying a size 7. Those 7's are baggy now but I bought a cute bling belt to hold them up and I will keep wearing them until they are just ridiculously big. I only have 14lbs to goal and I know they will have to go when I get there. The great part is I have many friends that have had the sleeve after me and they will be able to use them when I'm done. Congratulations on your great success! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
