Default moment of truth

this weekend i'm going clothes shopping for the first time in a long time.

my size 14 jeans are falling off my butt, but last time i tried 12s they were still uncomfortable. that was a while ago, though. i'm just hoping this doesn't get too discouraging. anyone else have this problem?

wish me luck.

You will definitely be wearing a 12. I won't be surprised if you find some 10's that are fitting even.

I am so right there with you - my 14's are falling off, but the 12's are still too tight on my hips. Good luck! Let us know how it goes - maybe it'll motivate me to try again at the jeans store.

I'm there also. A size 9 is to big, a size 7 is extremely tight. But remember, jeans tend ot stretch out, so when you buy them... for me anyway, they can be a bit tight. Nothing crazy...

let us know how it goes!

Good luck! I have made a vow not to buy any new clothes until I've dropped at least 1 size, I can't wait to go jeans shopping!

Haha, yeah actually. My 22's are getting SO baggy and I'm going to get a new pair of pants to wear today in a size 20.

10lbs ago I could fit into a 20 but they were tight at the waist. I'm sure they will fit nicely now, though. I should probably invest in a belt, too.
