Way to go Frenchie ~ what a good feeling that must be.

Feeling even older here ~ I'd been out of HS 12 years and had 3 kids and was expecting again by then.

In 1985 I was just a wee lass, I was 6 years old. WTG on the size 38's! Don't ask why, but I actually have a size 38 men's jeans in my closet. Not mine, not my bf's, they belonged to my brother who didn't like them because of the style. Whats with men's jeans being low rise? And all this really clingy stretch clothes? I shop for my brother, and boyfriend, and I gotta tell yah.. it's not good. Alright, I'm done ranting, congrats frenchie

AWESOME job, frenchie!

I was 3 years old in 1985, so I don't think I'll ever be that same size again I'd be TOTALLY satisfied with getting into a size 14, though--that way I could at least shop in most normal stores without having to hunt and search for plus-sized clothing I actually like (so many department stores just have business-professional or other clothes that aren't quite my style--I want fun clothing!!).

In 1985 I was also 3. Ah, what a good year. lol

May I ask, what is "virgin fat".

jillybean, I hear ya. I'd be happy getting to a size 14, for the same reason you mentioned.

Frenchiepolarbear, you should be proud of yourself! Your body is changing shape! Great job.

Per Howie (dictating to me), virgin fat is weight that you've never lost before, fat you start losing once you reach your lowest adult weight and keep losing. Just a turn of phrase, but a fun one.
