I'm halfway to my first goal of losing 30 pounds!!! And if I don't go shopping for pants soon, they will be halfway to my ankles before I know it! I've been a size 16 in pants for at least the past 5 years (since i started college), and now I don't even know if I'll be a size 14, I might need a 12 depending on the brand. My mission this weekend is to buy a pair of jeans and a pair of work pants that aren't so saggy in the butt that I have to wear them up to my armpits with a belt to look semi-decent. I've been wearing my jeans since I was 25 pounds heavier, so I'm not surprised they don't fit well anymore. I didn't want to buy clothes til my size was evening out, but going from 200+ pounds to 140-150 is going to require some intermediate pants I think... lolll

Doesn't everyone just love the problem of clothes falling off your body? Lollllll

    WOO HOO!! Congratulations! That's fabulous! Yes, 15 lbs means you need new pants, and really it is important to do that, because when you wear clothes that fit, people really notice how great you look! Just try to get a couple of pair to tide you over. I just do more laundry now! :flowerforyou:

    Congrats!

    I know how it is, lol. I haven't gotten any new pairs of jeans in 32 lbs. My 18's are absolutely falling off, I can fit another butt in them. I've never had to wear belts before XD

    Yes, buying new pants along the way is an "unfortunate" side effect. :laugh: Congratulations!

    It's great - and such a great excuse to go get some new ones! Enjoy your jeans shopping trip and congratulations; I am going through the same thing and it's wonderful!
