I went to Goodwill to buy some cheap size 12 transition pants because I hope to not be in this size much longer and my size 14s are definitely too baggy. I found a brand new pair of khakis with the original tags still on them which was awesome! Love to get something so cheap that is new. The problem came when I decided to wear them. They were more snug than they should have been. Since the scale has been stuck for almost two weeks, I thought I must have gained back some weight and I was so bummed..... Until I pulled the pants off and noticed that they were a SIZE 10. I had grabbed the wrong size! And though they were more snug than a 12, they FIT and looked fine. Cannot tell you how stupid happy it made me that I can wear 10s as I know it has been over ten years since last they fit.

    That's great! I did the same thing recently--shopped at Goodwill and Salvation Army for "temporary clothing" in size 12. My sister is also losing weight, so the plan is that she gets them as I shrink out of them. :-) I'm going through my closets now to get rid of my larger clothes, because I won't be needing them again! I will miss a few things I've been wearing, but I'll get over it. I've noticed some of the 12s are getting baggy already. My goal is a size 8, but the new bathing suit I bought for our Christmas cruise is a size 10, so I'm hoping I don't shrink too fast. If I do, I'll order a new one with speedy delivery. lol
