Had to Buy New Jeans :)

Finally, a difference in more than just the scale.

My 18W's got too big but I could fit into regular 18's which are now too big also, so I had to go buy a size 16 jeans :) Yippee. Still not a size to be proud of, but now I don't have to shop in the fat lady section anymore :)

You have every reason to be proud! Keep up the good work! Isn't it a great feeling to fit into smaller clothes.

You may consider supporting your local Goodwill, etc. by purchasing clothing there until the time u r at your goal size/weight. You'll be surprised how much $$ u can save & with quality. No one has to know but you.ohmy.gif

I agree with good will or local thrift or consignment shop. I have went through so many clothing and some are quite nice. glad to be moving down but geesh cant keep up. Was happy about 18's now Im in Misses 10/12 and Large tops. The stuff I really love im gonna get altered. Im heading to my goal

Congrats. It's a great feeling isn't it?

I am in need of some new pants, but I guess I will wait until later in the year since it is almost short weather.

Congratulations! I know I've been greatly enjoying buying smaller sized jeans. I saw the comment about Goodwill and I totally agree. I am such a thrift store junkie now, that I can't imagine paying retail for all my clothes, even after I lose all my weight. Why would you want to, when you can get practically new (and sometimes with tags still on) clothes for way less than 1/2 price. Definitely try out the thrift stores.

Congratulations!!! It must have felt wonderful!!!

Well, I AM proud of my size 16 jeans. Coming from a 34/36 or 6X and not being able to find jeans at all... I don't mind wearing 16's in the least. :) I am heading towards smaller ones though.

I say walk tall and be proud of any weight loss accomplishment. :)

I bought new jeans last week...Size 18! I have been wearing my old size 26's for so long just trying to hold them up with belts and stuff, but it was time to send them packing (to the goodwill).

Congrats on the new size, it is so exciting!

Just remember, don't hang on to those old BIG sizes. Give them away, throw them away, sell them...whatever you do, don't keep them. Don't give yourself an excuse to gain a pound!!!!! ;)

Aw, congrats!

By far, the best feeling ever - when your jeans are too big, falling off and you need to get a size smaller...often!

Congrats to all! :D

It is very exciting fitting into the next size down...no matter what size that may be. I also did some shopping this past weekend. I finally cleared out my closet and gave 3 bags of clothes to goodwill. I'm down 2 sizes so far and i feel great...hubby keeps giving me compliments...wahoo!!!:D :D

Congrats!! It's so nice when you can go shopping and buy clothes in smaller sizes.
