  • I am so darned excited I can't sit still . While I waited for my son to get thru his guitar lesson today, I roamed around the mall. I wandered into Sears and was just looking at the women's clothing.

    When I started WW on Dec 29th, 2009, I was wearing a TIGHT pant size 14/16 and TBH most of them, the ones I could breathe in anyway, were solid size 16's. Soon I noticed that the 14's fit well. A couple weeks ago, my husband commented that my pants looked loose.

    Well while in Sear's I decided to be brave. I grabbed a size 12 jean and went into the dressing room.

    THEY FIT!!!!!!!! Now they were the slightest bit snug, but nothing that would make me not wear them. I am sooo excited. I have been at a plateau the last three weeks. Gain .4, then lose 1lb. and repeat. Very frustrating. I was upset until I realized that although my weight loss has slowed, my body shape has shifted....AND I LOVE IT!!!!!

  • Congratulations! Something about getting into smaller jeans that is more of a charge than any other clothing item! I am on a similar path. I started last June when I could barely get into my 14 jeans. Now my 10's are a little loose so I'm going for a size 8 next! Maybe we should start a jean swapping site on 3FC!! Again, way to go!
  • Ooooo, I love the jean swapping idea!!! Especially since I have been noticing that a lot of us here are "shorter". I have a hard time paying $22/up for jeans right now because I know that I will be needing smaller ones soon. And trying to find "petite" length is hard enough, LOL!

    Way to go EVERYONE!!!!

  • congratulations!! that is the BEST feeling
  • Congrats! What a great motivator!!
  • Way to go. Keep going i kn0ow how this feels but you can do it! good Luck!
  • im with Cglass, for some reason moving down jeans sizes always makes me feel better than any other type of clothing, lol.

    size 12 is AWESOME!!!!
  • Just a suggestion... I dress very fashionably and some of my clothes come from a great Goodwill store down the street. I get my already broken in and smaller size jeans from there for $4.99! Try it while you are losing.
  • That's awesome! keep up the good work!
  • CONGRATS on you success! I know what a huge deal this is and yay for you!!!
  • Fantastic, congrats
  • Thanks everyone! And thanks for the suggestion about Goodwill. I do shop there and this is a wonderful idea for those of us WHO WILL NOT be in the same size for long

  • Congratulations that is a wonderful feeling!!
  • congrats!!!
  • Cglass, great idea about shopping at goodwill during our journeys. I know it would hurt to pay anything more than $20 for a pair of jeans we don't plan on wearing that long & once we've met our goal....go on a MAJOR shopping spree
