RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted December 2, 2013 My daughter took 3 pairs of jeans from me this weekend..that only gave me a couple pairs of pants left...I begged my hubby to take me to the store to get some smaller jeans so that I would be prepared for the next size down...He did...I bought all 14-16 pants... Today for fun I put one of the pair of 16 brown cords on and they FIT....with no compression garment either...I hardly ever wear them at home....Lets see...gone from a 6 X to a 15-16...hmmmm.....okay I'mm totally stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 newat52, keglenne, Cabingirl and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McButterpants 2,846 Posted December 2, 2013 Nice! That's gotta feel good! I'm on the verge of not having any jeans that fit...in a good way for a change! No larger sizes for this gal! On another note, are you feeling better? I hope all is well. 1 RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terri82much 80 Posted December 2, 2013 I have jeans in the closet but refuse to check for another two weeks since I was significantly smaller when the fit. THat is the one piece of clothing that I can't wait to buy! A nice pair of size 10...maybe even an 8 Silver brand name jeans with all the bling on the bum! LOL! Enjoy your much smaller cords! Great job! 1 RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On another note, are you feeling better? I hope all is well. I am on my last day of antibiotics....hopefully that will take care of the pneumonia...If not I will have to go to the hospital for a week or so..Still having other issues and have an upcoming surgery for that....they want to find out what's going on there...Other then that still fighting the fight.....Thank you for asking ..Your so nice to me!!! :wub: 1 McButterpants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7 Bites_Jen 479 Posted December 2, 2013 That is wonderful! What a great feeling - the first time I put my size 14's (what I'm in now) I cried like a baby!! LOL 1 RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cabingirl 55 Posted December 6, 2013 RJ, I am so glad to hear that you may have licked the pneumonia. I like that your docs are being extra careful with you (as they should). And a size 16! That's great. I made it to a size 18 today, so keep on keeping on! I'm right behind you. 1 RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you cabingirl, the sizes are changing so fast now it is scaring me a little...You will probably pass me kid...I am a tall woman and big boned.....but if I stopped now I would be smaller then I have been in 35 years...What a load off eh...hehehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrownDoesAll 409 Posted December 7, 2013 RJ you've come such a long way with much success. Congrats. Now don't make the mistake made. I hadn't worn a size 16 in 20 years and was thrilled. I got lazy and stopped losing weight. Went into a maintenance mode of eating. Did a great job not gaining any weight for a year. Now I am in year 3 and I want to lose more and its much much harder. So enjoy those 16s u deserve your atta a girl. But keep pushing while the pushing is good. I wish someone had told me that two years ago. 2 DeezJeanz and RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh thank you for your advice....I know that I am not there yet and plan..oh I really plan to get there..I so want to know just how small I am going to end up being...Maybe I will be so small that I will disappear into the sunset....Here's hoping....lol I appreciate the vets point of view very much...Your a doll for sharing....
