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.

CONGRATS Jenn!!

I don't think I'll ever get to a size 8... but the 10 sounds possible at times!! I'be been so big for so long... that the 14 I'm in is........ GREAT!!!

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.

How's this? Font size 2. Turquoise for a change!

Finally had a chance to stop by Old Navy today. I bought two pair of jeans in a Misses 14 - yeah! I also bought a long sleeve tshirt in a size L (not XXL, not XL, just L). I was so excited about the shirt. I am bigger on top and haven't seen a L top in a really long time. :mad:

That's AWESOME Linda - I'm going to try and get by Old Navy on Wednesday and see if they have anything I can fit into!

Vegas,

I'm sure that particular style of shirt runs a little big but I didn't care. There wasn't an "X" in front of the "L" and that made me SMILE. I initially grabbed and XL just to see. I tried it on with the jeans and stepped out to check the full length mirror. The sales girl working, said "that shirt is really to big for you, do you want me to get a smaller size?" I'm sure my jaw dropped to the ground as I mumbled something in agreement about trying a smaller size. I about fell over when it fit perfectly.

Linda - that is funny - I am sure I would have had the same reaction. I went to try on some long-sleeved tops yesterday at Kohl's - I'm in between and XL and an L -- I'm like you - I can't remember the last time I was in an L. Since I couldn't decide which fit I liked the best, I just didn't buy any - which is saying something for me because before I would have bought the looser one!

Congratulations Linda! You are doing wonderfully.

That's great, Linda! I, too, think Old Navy sizes run a bit big...but I don't care! The tag on my jeans says 8 & that's what I'm going by! :w00t:

NOW THERE IS A NSV!!!!!!!! HOW EXCITING IS THAT! :hurray:

If that's the case, the Old Navy may become my new "favorite" store -- it's the tag size that counts! :w00t:

WTG Linda!!!!
