Default I can take my jeans off and on without undoing the buttons

my jeans are now loose on me- all my size 22s. I can take them on and off without undoing the waisteband. Lose lose lose. I love it. Right now I am about a size 20. I can't wait until I go down to an 18.

Congratulations!!

That's such an awesome feeling. It's my test for "retiring" pants. If I can pull them off (buttoned and zipped) without much effort, I'm no longer allowed to wear them to work. Too much possibility of a memorable moment.

Ya know... if you can pull them off while they're still buttoned, you might already be a size 18. You should go to the store and have a trying-on party!

cheers!

I love that feeling! It is also fun to be able to put your favorite jeans in the dryer under high heat and they still fit loose!

it is funny how different sizes are for women. I see many people on here who have either reached a weight of between 150 and 160 (or are striving to), and who are a size 6/8 (or believe that they will be at that weight). I'm 157 and a size 12!

I think it's all about body type and muscle mass. I have a pretty large frame (my wrist bones are huge) and I'm pretty muscular. I've always been pretty athletic so it's just always there. Right now I weigh 165 (my height is 5'7) and am fitting into size 10 pants and shirts and my goal is a size 8. So i'm trying to lose another 5-10 pounds until I get there.

Everyone's a little different.

Great job everyone!

I agree. Height has ALOT do do with it. I weigh 306 right now and I wear a 28. I am also 5'11"

When I lost a bunch of weight before I was 220lbs but I still wore a size 22 tightly.

Everyone is different. I just wanna be a size 12 or lower. I really do not want to be in the plus sizes anymore!

Perfect example, I am 5' 1' and when I weighed 220 I was a "perfect" size 20...weird.

In my 20s I weighed about 134-137 and I am 5' 9" - and wore a size 10 the whole time. The only time I ever wore an 8 was when I had been sick for a week and was weighing about 128!!! The hip bone's connected to the...

I'm 5'8''. I'm still only a 20 though as lose as the 22s are. It takes me a while to jump from one size to another. And I have a large structure- huge feet and hands (size 12 feet). Plus I've always been able to carry my weight well. When I am not too heavy I am perfect hourglass- bust and hips are the same measurement and the waist is 12 inches smaller. Now that I am heavier though the waist ins't quite 12 inches smaller anymore...
