NSV Little Black Jeans *pics*

I've had a pair of black, Gloria Vanderbilt jeans for 17 years. They're in great shape and have been the piece of clothing I wanted to wear again. When I hit 250#, I tried them on and had to do the Lay Down and Zip method, meaning I could *technically* wear them, but I'd be *kitten* out of luck if I had to move. :laugh: I decided to try them again when I hit 230#. Last night, I gave them another go (at 232# close enough). They fit without laying down *and* I could move around in them (I did a few squats and lunges as proof).

It's nice to have at least one pair of pants that fit. My only problem now is I haven't worn zipper and button-type pants for 8 years and my abs are slightly sore from being constricted.

Look, no muffin top!

    congrads on fitting into your old jeans!

    I'm currently nudging a friend to get healthy to do the same thing.

    Your smile says it ALL! Well done!

    And you know - it won't be long until these jeans are much too loose!

    I have one pair of jeans I can now slide down without undoing the button - and they used to be "snug"!

    Seriously 81lb down is such a major achievement.... :):)

    Congratulations, and it won't be long before those are saggy baggy on you!

    I've been shopping at a consignment shop to get new jeans and pants.

    Congratulations!! Enjoy those jeans while you can; like everyone else said they will soon be falling off your bee-hind.

    I've started telling my friends that I am finding all these great pants that I love and they are hardly worn and I am getting them FREE! When they ask where I tell them, "My closet!" :)

    Congrats to you!
