Saef, my hubby calls XL (extra little) when I sometime also buy that size just because some things runs so small, isn't that a hoot extra little? Sizes run so differently, but when I see the XL, I always smile and think "extra little" these days! :D

I am 5'3" and weigh 185 pounds. I wear a size 14 now, but I bought some size 12's this weekend that I can wear if I don't mind muffin top. I do, so I'll wait about five pounds before wearing them. :)

Yes, I won't do the muffin top either. I'll do a tiny muffin top when I'm sitting, but if I'm muffining even a little when I'm standing then those pants do not fit. ;)

Thank you, Eliana, for my 3FC verb of the day: "muffining"

This is like when I saw someone post "ellipticalling."

Both completely understandable new verbs. Both highly useful for 3FC conversations.

"Weighting" has been a new one to me. I don't think it's a real word...maybe it is. But it's certainly appropriate at 3FC! Gosh, that could be a whole different thread.

:rofl: too bad we don't have a "muffining" animated emoticon. :D

hey ladies!
i wear a size 12 right now and i am 209lbs and 5'5. i despise the muffin top too which is why i am waiting for a bit to try 10's
