My 12's are way too big & I can slide them on and off without unbuttoning them. I bought some 10's from Goodwill & they fit, but I didn't like the way they fit me. So, I've still been wearing my 12's even though they are falling off of me & I look like a teenager who is trying to "sag"! :lol0:

Night before last, we stopped at Old Navy to check out their clearance sale. DH really wanted me to buy a new pair of jeans & to be honest, I wanted a new pair that fit as well. So I took 10's into the dressing room (praying they would fit, if not I probably would have cried!). They fit okay. They were a bit loose in the legs so I asked dh to go get an 8...he looked at me with the "this could go terribly wrong" face, you know the deer in headlights look! (I love my dh & he knows me oh so well!) I said, I just want to see how close I am to fitting in a single digit size. He hesitantly obliged.

I get them on expecting them to either not button or for me to have to cease breathing to get them buttoned. :laugh0: To my surprise, they went right on! They fit "like a glove"! :thumbup: They weren't too tight in the waist or too loose in the legs. For the first time, I have jeans that I am comfortable wearing. It's a thing of beauty! They cost $34.50, but they were so worth it.

JENN - that is so ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL ... I am so very happy for you -- and your DH sounds absolutely wonderful.

Thanks, Vegas. I know it sounds vain, but I really wanted to get into a single digit size. It's great to know I'm there.

Yes, my dh is wonderful. He was scared of how I would react if the 8's didn't fit. I was already having a tough day...the look on his face when I requested the 8 was priceless. I wish I had a camera.

Awww! I remember your DH from Mexicali. What a sweet guy!

CONGRATULATIONS JENN!!! All those days of yucky liquids and gagging on eggs is WORTH IT FOR A SIZE 8!!

I'm in a 10 but anxious to try an 8. None of my clothes fit at all. I'm down to wearing loose gym shorts. (And freezing, even if it's San Diego.)

I still have some 10's that fit me, just dont' fit the way I like. I think Old Navy jeans run a bit bigger...but I don't care, the tag still says 8! If you're near an Old Navy, it might be worth trying on some jeans. You might be surprised!

FWIW, I'm cold all the time now, too. I used to never wear a jacket. Now I need a sweater/sweatshirt, thermals, & a coat!

Fitting into a size 8 is one of my goals. I think I might be finally in a Misses 14. Everything at LB is just a bit too baggy. I plan to go to the mall tomorrow to check it out. I might have to swing into Old Navy.

Congratulations Jenn! It has to be a WONDERFUL feeling.

Congrats Jenn ! ! !

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

Thank you all. You all are too sweet. It's great to have friends to share this with...only my family IRL know about my surgery, so I can't exactly share my NSVs.

My font is bigger than your font! (nothing personal :thumbup:) Seriously, yours is smaller...take a look!

Are you sure you are looking at mine or someone elses?

And to me they are all the same size! Isn't that odd?

That is wierd. Yours is about four times as big as mine, and it is in purple. do you see that on your screen?

It may be that each person's is set in their user CP area, so it reads differently based on how you set it. I did change mine to a larger font when I first started using the forum.

Now I clicked on the "A" up in the right hand corner and selected a huge font/

Now I clicked on the double A in the left hand corner at the top that says remove formatting. Let's see what this looks like posted....

This is wierd...when I am reading the forum this all looks black and small. But in this editing box it is the larger, colored version that I selected in User CP. I don't understand why.

testing font

testing one two three

I went into user CP and at the bottom of the page, select default text formatting.

You can change your font, size, color, etc there...

LOL -- Mine is in purple, yes -- but not 4x larger than your's - maybe one size larger -- and all your text in the last 2 posts were the exact same size -- you can go into your user CP and at the very bottom left change your default so it will be the same for every post and you don't have to change it with each post. I think I have mine set on a 3.
