Thanks for bringing this thread back up. I was rolling on the floor reading it all. I will say that in my hope chest discoveries that I unearthed 3 pair of roper jeans and 1 pair of rockies. Those jeans can make any butt flattering. They all fit and the first time I wore a pair to work a few weeks ago, everybody for the first time in 45 lbs. was asking me if I was losing weight. My DH followed me around like a dog in heat, and couldn't keep his hands off me. That did wonders for the ole confidence level. I can't wear the wranglers though, butt's too big, waist is too small. I have a pair of button up pinstripe Levis that I bought when I was in high school that are my ultimate goal jeans. I have always loved those jeans and only wore them a couple of times I think. I have them currently hanging on the front of my closet to give me motivation every morning.

Hahaha, "Like a dog in heat?" Just spray him with the hose!

Oh yes! As I was reading the old posts about Wranglers and Ropers, I was thinking, "I'm going to say Rockies!" I love Rockies, and have a dark rust colored pair in my cedar chest, on the off chance that some day...... I am going to buy new rockies when I get to goal - and a midi shirt!

I also want to be able to wear Levi 501s. They are the softest, most comfortable jeans I've ever had... so as soon as the c-section jelly is gone....

How funny - just reading through the old posts.
I mentioned how I wanted to fit into my 7 jeans - now they are falling off me.

Gets it all into perspective!!

Woo Hoo Sznn!:carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

You guys have to remember I live in Idaho.....Well my husband and I love the rodeo...so I have always wanted to fit in a nice size wranglers, and be able to tuck (YES I SAID TUCK- something I have never done) my nice western shirt in put my ropers (boots) on and go to the Rodeo in Twin and also my husband is gonna get us tickets to the NFR! So there you have it, you all know what a geek I really am!! But I have always wanted to do this - the county fair is a big thing in my town everybody comes back in the summer and goes and smoozes. Well next year Im gonna be the biggest SMOOZER (lol) there!!!

Here's to everyone fitting in to that "outfit" real soon!

Ahhh Beanie... I knew what you were talking about.. ropers, wranglers, NFR... LOL Got my ropers in Texas, custom made... ;)

My outfit is this REALLY nice black silk skirt with light grey roses that look like they were "etched" onto it. Its a beautiful skirt. I also have a couple of pairs of size 8 button up levis I want back in... I REALLY want back in those. I'm currently back to the "Tuck in the shirt" stage... thankfully!

My dream... at least until after I fulfill this one...
It's a size 12 little black dress - heavy linen, sleeveless with a square neckline in front and a deep squared neckline in back. I'd get some killer heels and have spray tanned toned legs, do my hair all sexyand watch the heads turn.... It's been hanging in my closet since I found it way on sale 5 or 6 years ago... Yeah, I'm into fantasy mode here.... Just gotta keep reminding myself, it'll happen!!!!!

Isn't feeling sexy what it's all about???? I'm 57 years old, been married 29 years. I want to fit into my sexy black nitegown and my size 10 jeans. I don't know how you guys do it. I weigh 170 and size 14's are snug sometimes. you all are talking size 7's and 9's...WOW. Am I just built wrong?

I have a big wedding this summer, and it will kind of be the first big event since I've lost most of this weight. I decided to go all out and buy something really cute for it. But when I went to look, I found myself looking at the kind of dresses I used to wear - loose, flowy, layered things that covered my old big body! Anyway, I just ordered this really cute black dress with fitted top and a circle skirt! I've never worn anything like it! I'm really excited - can't wait for it to arrive.

Oh, that is so great! You HAVE to post pictures when you get it!
