20 pounds is 3 pant sizes? HOW???

Brenda_1965

Last night I went to JCPenney's to exchange a size 1 pant for a size zero (for my 6th grade daughter). While I was there, I saw that they had just marked a bunch of clothes in the bigger sizes down to $2.97 each. SO... I decided to get a few different sizes so I can be comfortable on my way down. I grabbed size 18s, 17s,16s (misses I think), 15s, size 14s. I took them all in the dressing room to try on and see how long it might be before I can get into them. I also bought 3-4 size XL tops and I had been in 2X and 3X!

I started this journey at a size 20W, and could SQUEEZE into some 16Ws. WELL!!! The 18s 17s and 16s were too big!! I got a pair of jeans like my daughter's in a size 15!!!!!! She is so proud of me! I am wearing the 14s to work today (only one of the 14s were too small on me!)

I think all my weight is coming off my gut, which I believe is because of the candy, cake and sweets I was so addicted to for years! I have gotten away from it thanks to my allergist and his rx for fluconazole! The scale says 194 this morning and I want to get to a size 8, which used to be 132 pounds. Now I kind of wonder what that will look like!

I'm so excited!

That's so funny because I've lost 19 pounds and haven't dropped a pants size yet. My dress pants are a little bit baggy in the thighs and butt, but still fit in the waist. But you're giving me something to look forward to! Congrats! :drinker:

Wow you're lucky, I wish I would lose more in my tummy.

I've lost almost 30 and while all of my pants fit so much better...in fact I NEED a belt to hold them up, I kind of doubt the next size down would fit, let alone three sizes down.

But like I said, I've lost some in my tummy, but it seems like it's coming off everywhere else first and the tummy is last. Good for you!

I'm not one who can stand tight pants on my waist though, and my legs and butt have always been on the slimmer side.:blushing:
