Size 30 Jeans! Maybe this doesn't sound good to you, but...



Recommended Posts

I am so happy to be wearing size 30 jeans! I shortened my bra straps today, too! I am so glad to have turned around and be losing weight! I was 407 and afraid I wouldn't be able to buy clothing anywhere if I gained any more weight. I weighed 390 when I was sleeved Jan 14 and have lost another 31 lbs in 3 weeks. Today I put on an old pair of size 30 jeans from deep in my closet and was so thrilled!

People often talk about how happy they are to no longer be dependent on stores like Lane Bryant but it has been a few years since I could shop there and I am actually excited to be able to again. Hopefully I'll be in a 28 before too long and able to wear their clothes soon. I was pretty much relegated to the Ulla Popken website before this because I love beautiful clothes and they were the only outlet I'd found with sizes up to 36/38 and decent quality. I hate the crappy clothes at WomanWithin, besides the name sounds like you have to shop there because you ate someone. Catherines clothing has weird fit issues and is geared towards women in their 60's. When they started closing Fashion Bug stores, I was really bummed, but soon I will be able to shop many places. Once you are in a 24 or less you can shop at LL Bean, Lands End, Eddie Bauer, Macys, even Nordstrom. I CANNOT WAIT!!

Sounds great to me. I love shopping at the Fashion Bug/Lane Bryant and mine closed down last year. I was really upset about it and haven't bought anything since. They had such nice, stylish clothes that always let me feel better dressed than anyone else I know since I've moved here. I'm kind of worried about where to find clothes now that I'm going to be in smaller sizes by summer.

Congrats to you!!! I bought my clothes at Woman Within/Roamans, even Lane Bryant was too small for me. I can now shop at Kohls, which even when I was a size 24 there 24 was too small. I went from a size 32 to a size 14 so far and it's wonderful! Keep up the great work!

Congrats Honey! So proud of you. I totally relate to the clothes. I was in a 5x or 6x when I got my surgery last June. I am down 125 pounds and in a size 2x or 3x now. I can cross my legs, tie my shoes, ride in other peoples car with no fear the seat belt will be too small, sit in restaurant booths, go to any movie theater, and buy clothes at LB, Macy's, Kohls, etc. I still hav 75 pounds to go, but my life is so much more active and mobile. I thank God for the surgery - and for this website. Way to go on the jeans!

Congrats to you! I remember getting into those old jeans from the back of my closet and how exciting it was. The day I can comfortably shop at a Kohls or other regular store will be something major and I cannot wait!

I started out a 407 also, wearing a 36/38. I am now going into a size 24 and it feels so great. I am excited that I can shop at Lane Bryant again, I HATED shopping at Catherines at 30 years old. Good Luck to you.

It doesn't matter what size u are, it feels GREAT to be losing this weight period.

I found three pair of jeans from along time ago, and they are the only ones that fit, and they are getting baggier each passing day! Congrats and keep up the good work:)

Congratulations!! I can relate. At my heaviest (over 380) I was pushing the size to the very end of what most plus stores carried. I was a 26/28 with some things very tight. It was frustrating to not be able to shop in even plus size stores that didn't go past a 24 and a lot of the trendy cute ones don't. I always said to myself when starting this journey that I would be SO grateful to just get back into regular plus sizes. Now I'm down 74lbs and a size 22 and its AWESOME!! I went into H&M recently (they now have a plus size line here in NYC which is awesome) and I tried on a 3X top and it was TOO BIG!! That has pretty much NEVER happened to me! I was too big for the last size in most stores like that just a short time ago and now a 3x was too big! It was a surreal feeling!!

Anyway I can definitely relate to what your saying. Can't wait of you to get down to a 28!! :)

It might be weird to hear a guy say this, but I am so looking forward to stuff like this. A lot of my favorite stores I haven't been able to shop at in years due to not carrying my size. So congratulations on a job well done!! And I look forward to being in the same situation soon......lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
