    Skeeps, the picture is there for those who do not cut and paste. I just saw the pic and look like she dropped a load in her pants because they are so saggy.. LOL... I know what you mean.. they are definitely too large to wear anymore without some serious seamstress activity. :laugh:

    OK this thread led to a thing happening that I never imagined would happen again.
    I followed the advice given me by ODonna...and late last night I went into my daughters room (the one in the picture, she is away at University, but has left some stuff behind) and I found 4 pairs of jeans, I tried on the first and it was not going to fit, in fact although I got them up, they were NOT going to do up! I looked and they are a size 7! So I then tried on another pair, and these DID do up...then I tried on another pair...and these did up too, then I tried on the last and yes these did too...I took a look at the size label thinking they must be a UK12 (US 10) and no...they are all SIZE 10!!! (US 8) I could not believe it...really could not believe it.

    I have been wearing a pair of them all day today, as we went to the mainland to help my daughter move, I said to her "I am wearing a pair of your jeans" and she said I could have them all as they are old ones she doesn't wear anymore...I now don't have to buy new jeans, I have 3 pairs of jeans, they may not be new, but the fact that they fit me is better than going and spending a £1000 on new clothes!!

    I CAN FIT INTO A SIZE 10.....WOW.....just WOW

    Hey Baggy Butt (in this case a true compliment) I loved your pictures. But I have to ask, which one is you and which one is your daughter. Good grief you look like sisters - both gorgeous and fit!!! Keep up the great work.

    OK, just to clear this up, you can see my face much better in this one!

    That is my other daughter with me, so a bit of a rose between two thorns I feel :-)

    Yeah, skinny jeans and flatter stomachs always trump long hard days.
