I hate how stores differ in the sizes. but last night, i went to buy some- at charlotte russe. I was an 11 from them but they were kind of loose so I decided to try a 10. eh, still don't hug my body right. so I asked a friend to get a 9, she came back with an 8 saying they don't have 9. i'm like, wth. so i tried them on and they were perfect. it felt sooo great.

it;s discouraging that at other stores an 11 is tight, but charlotte rusee is my go to store for jeans and i'm sooo happy that i'm an 8. but i'm also a little confused because when i used to weight what i do now, 179, i was still an 11. but now i'm an 8?! maybe it's just that they changed their sizing.

Or maybe, if you have been working out you're losing inches in addition to just weight. Congrats! I love that feeling.

I was cleaning out my closet and found some of my old skinny clothes, I tried some shorts on and they fit! Nothing like fitting in smaller clothes to prove you're doing well.

Annoying isn't it? Ah well, beggars can't be choosers. I always buy a jeans brand called true 2 you. They never fail me lol. Best to just stick to one jeans brand. Saves us all the curfufal

I know what you mean. I wanted to buy capris from Old Navy and I'm normally a size 8, but I could only fit into their size 11 capris. So I decided to try on their jeans, just on a whim, and I fit into a size 6!!! What's up with that?!? So I just bought the jeans and cut them off into capris lol! )

I hate that! I read in an article years ago that brands have made their sizes bigger to accomodate the growing (in inches) population. So the size 7 that I wear now would have been an 11 when my mom was my age (up 2 sizes). And vica versa my mom's size 7 years ago wouldn't fit me cuz it's a "3" these days. Really shows where our nation is headed if we don't straighten up and stop the nonsense, huh? Glad WE are all on the right track!!!

Would love a single digit....not sure I will ever get there...

Amy - You WILL get there...that is why you are on this site. If a single digit is your goal - (which is a great goal by the way) then go for it. You have something to work toward - you might even think about buying a pair and hanging them on your closet door for motivation. I did that with a pair of jeans that no longer fit , ( I mean really really didn't fit) I hung them on my door so I would see them everyday. Now they fit - without a muffin top! It took some time but it was worth it!!!!!

Thanks

I would love a 10 and know I can get there.
I always have a special pair of pants the next size down...
I am unsure what my hips vs thighs will look like so I do not know what style to get...yet...
