Six months ago when I started my weight lose journey I wore a size 14 jeans. About a month ago I went and got a size 12 and let me tell you I looked hot, but now my size 12's are starting to fall off. Today I went to Kohls to get a new pair of jeans......I expected to get a size 10. I took a size 10 and a size 8 to the dressing room, I tried on the size 8's first AND THEY FIT! They are a little tight, so I tried on the 10's, they are a little loose, so I bought the 8's......I know I am going to keep loosing and they won't be tight for to long :) I don't have any pictures yet, because I am not done. When I reach my goal weight of 130 I will post my before and after pics. Thanks for letting me share......you should have seen me in the dressing room, I don't remember smiling that big in a long time :)

    I know just how you feel....I got my first size 12's last month, after starting in a size 20. Now they are loose, but holding off for a bit because I still have 25 pounds that I want to lose.

    Congratulations on your awesome progress. I actually had the same experience recently. Not jeans, but my dress pants that I wear to work. the 10's were falling off of me, so ordered 8's. They too are just a little snug (or at least they were last Thursday), but I know I am going to continue to lose weight and so, will be wearing them even though they are a little snug. I started out wearing 16's and 14's, so to be in an 8 is absolutely wonderful. And this weekend I've reduced my weight by a little over a pound again - so I am sure the 8's will be fitting less snug tomorrow when I go to work.

    AWESOME! I'm in a 13 & would like to get into 5's like I wore several years ago. My 13's were super tight & now starting P90X a week ago, they are getting loose!

    You just described my dream shopping experience-haha! I have never in my life (since I was a young child probably) worn a single digit number sized pants...I want so badly to be a size 8 or smaller...right now I'm in 14's, but I was wearing 10-12's before I got pregnant wiht my third daughter (born two months ago). I am so happy for you and you are an inspiration to those of us still working our way there!!

    I can't wait to get there..hopefully by Christmas I can get into a 16. For 207 pounds, I'm in a firm size 18 still..just feels less tight now. Good work by the way and keep at it!!
