Scale not moving, but......

[Bandista 7,466]

I'm down another pants size. It's hard for me to believe it -- same brand of Lee long jeans. I was tight in 18s at the time if surgery, thrilled to go dow to 16 then 14 then 12 and now.....wait for it....10! Ten? Who is this? Meanwhile, scale is not budging. Who cares -- I wear size ten jeans?!!!!

10???? Awesome. Congrats and enjoy. Could 8s be in your future???

Congrats on the pants size. It's quite possible the scale isn't moving if you work out...you know muscle weighs more than fat. Anyway nice job!

Bandista..... You know I've been following you and your progress since I came on this site. We have sooooo much in common. I wanted you to know that I bought eight dresses this week, three of them were maxi's. All of them were a size 12. I haven't bought a dress in over 20 years. My husband has a sort of new wife. He's doing well too..... Down to a size 38 pant for him. We're going to have a heck of a 26th anniversary in two weeks. Hotel reservations in downtown New Orleans, the Red Dress Run with our two 20something year old daughters, a shared dinner at Commander's Palace, and lots of new clothes to wear for both of us. Keep it up, Bandista.......And thanks for all of the encouragement and positive vibes you keep putting out there!

Yay Bandista ! Good for you Miss size 10 ! I now wear a size 10 too, and although we are far apart in height, ( Im barely 5'3 and, you're wearing a LONG jean? What the hay is that ?!!!!) you should try Old Navy jeans. Their skinny jeans fit me real well, I love the "Flirty " ! They fit me to a T ! Congrats again !! Keep it up ! !!

Awesome Job! I just went through some boxes of clothes this weekend, you know the ones that you will lose weight to fit into. Well guess what I fit into them, size 14. It has been years since I have seen a 14. Also my weight is not moving either, but something is working. Keep up the great work!

Guess we shouldn't worry about the scale -- the pants are where it's at! Unless you're @@HealthyNewMe -- eight new dresses, wow! Happy anniversary. What is the Red Dress run? And @@pink dahlia enjoy those flirty jeans! @@chrissy10 way to go - - we are rocking this! @@blacktxbelle you make an excellent point. I have been walking an hour every day. It's working! But now to get out of the nineties into the eighties.....so close. Driving me crazy, just like entering Onederland. Hover hover. But who cares? We are doing it! And it will take the time it takes.

The Red Dress Run is an annual 5K BAR HOPPING "RUN" through the French Quarter, where everyone, including the men, wear RED DRESSES. The older and funkier the dresses, the better. Lots of alcohol, but that's par for the course when you live in THE BIG EASY!!!!!!!!! I bought a CUTE red summer dress bc I intend to wear it again. My husband's dress is a THRIFT STORE MARKDOWN. LOL
