I had a non-scale victory today when I tried on a pair of size 16 denim pants I bought after Christmas. They fit me then but were too tight to sit in, and even tighter after I preshrank them.
Today I put them on and they are OK, just need to be shortened. Yippee! I've not been a size 16 butt for years and years! The scale is sort of stuck but something is happening!
, Ruth!!! Size 16's...SEXY! I have this image of DH chasing you around the house.... Good for you, girl!!! Fitting into your skinny jeans is a HUGE accomplishment!
I'm wearing size 18W pants today! Considering that when I started SBD I was in a size 24W, this is great!! (Although keep in mind that my 24's were comfy, not tight.)
Ruth - congrats on the 16 pants!! I'll be so happy when I hit that size again.
Sassy, I was thinking back and checking old journals and the last time I had a pair of size 16 was 1991!
I'd be pretty close there to you, then. I'm thinking that it was around 1993 for me. I actually remember my last beloved size 16 outfit that I held onto until I just had to accept that I couldn't get into it anymore. I was going through a "country" phase and it was this adorable peach button down western style shirt and peach denim skirt. I would wear it with my brown boots and I just thought I was IT!! Too bad I don't still have that outfit around...
, Sassy!!! Great work!!! Isn't it amazing to be in a size that starts with a 1 instead of a 2? (I started out as a tight 26/28)
Sassy, that outfit sounds adorable! I remember a pair of size 16 jeans that were too big for me when I was about 13 or so. A neighbor's daughter gave them to me in a pile of her old clothes. When I was in high school and went on a diet, I was just able to squeeze into them. I think that might be the last time I wore a size 16...about 1991 or even 1990. It's been a while!!! I'm currently about the size I was when I started college in 1992. Wow.... memory lane!
Sassy, congratulations, hon!! I'm tempted to take my pants off to see what size they are, but I'm in the kitchen and we have company, so I'll hold off until later.
I have at least 5-6 pairs of jeans in varying sizes that I cannot wait to dig out and try on, everything from a 16 (that I can just barely squeeze into) to 14's to 12's...oh, to fit into those 12's again...
