wearing my skinny pants!

  • I've been fitting into 18s recently, so I ordered a pair of cute slim leg pants in 18 but a brand I've never worn before. They arrived a week ago and I was crushed that they were too small-- I could barely get them to zip. But I decided to keep them, figuring that they'd fit in a month or two.

    But since then I've lost FOUR POUNDS and so on a lark I tried them on. Zipped right up and they look terrific as they show off my legs which are my slimmest part.

    Who knew that 4 pounds would make the difference between zipping and not zipping. Plus, I can't believe I lost 4 pounds in one week. The body is such a strange thing....
  • Yay! Congrats!
  • YAY!!! I've got a few pairs of pants like that that I can't wait to fit into again Always a good feeling. Always.
  • That is awesome! Congrats!
  • WOW! How great that 4 pounds could make such a difference! Congratulations on 4 pounds in a week.
  • I have a great pair of dress slacks in a very small 18. I wore them 2 weeks ago and they were snug, but ok. Put them on this morning and they are FALLING OFF. They were NOT falling off when I took them off last time, and they have some spandex so they are supposed to cling. What happened? It was just two short weeks?? Weird.
  • Awesome!

    Yeah, I've noticed the same thing.... I can go along and it seems like NOTHING is happening, and then, all of a sudden, I can wear all these new things...
  • That is so much awesomeness! Yay for 4 pounds!
  • That's amazing! Congrats
  • Absolutely wonderful! Keep up the good work!
  • That's amazing that 4 lbs made them zipable--must have been all 4 lbs off of your waist/hips area! Gives me hope for some pants that I'm worried I'll have to wait 10 or 15 lbs to wear!
