You know how jeans kind of "shrink up" when you put them in the dryer? I used to avoid this because then they were pretty snug and I would be uncomfortable wearing them for the first little while till they loosened up again. I justified not putting them in the dryer by saying that the heat from the dryer was not good for the fabric and I was extending the life of my clothes by hanging them to dry. There may be some truth in that, but really, I just didn't want to feel fat when I put them on fresh out of the dryer and they were too tight.
Those same jeans... My boyfriend did laundry and put them in the dryer... They were loose this morning when I put them on! I am finding myself pulling them up all day today even fresh out of the dryer! Yay!

    I had the same experience yesterday morning.

    My jeans got to be so uncomfortable I was debating sizing up when I found the MFP app. Yesterday morning, though, I put them on right out of the dryer and marvelled at how flat my tummy had gotten in just the few weeks I'd been doing this. accomplished by eating right and working out. I have aways to go, but I'm starting to feel a littl sexier.

    I'm so glad I am not the only one who did this! I felt a little silly admitting it, but proud of my progress so had to share!
