Hello MFP Friends!!
I joined MFP back in January to use it as a tool on my weight-loss journey. Having gone through the cycle of losing and gaining on what seems to be an annual basis, I decided to do something different this year. As I lose the weight and grow out of.....err "shrink out of"....a size of pants, rather than keep them as a security blanket just in case I gain a few pounds back, I'm letting them BURN!!
I have a fabulous group of like minded friends who are on this journey with me, and last night my friend Donna and I set our first pants ablaze!! When I started MFP 01/04/2011 I was wearing a size 16, now I'm a snuggish 12 or a loose 14. (Although I am typing this wearing a pair or forgiving 10s!!) I've still got a long way to go but I look forward to burning my next pants soon!!!

That rocks... I think I'm going to save a pair for burning and take the rest to goodwill. Congrats on your success thus far and love the idea and photos!! :drinker:0

So glad to have read this!! I love the idea of burning them, but couldn't help but think of the folks who could benefit from the generosity of donating! I will say, though, that handing in a bag of clothes to the nice folks at Goodwill does not have nearly as much "finality" as burning them would! lol!0 -
I love the idea, but I don't think I'd be able to burn them without making s'mores. :laugh:0

Honestly...I don't think I could bring myself to donate the pants I burned. Lets just say my thighs have been "close friends" for a long time and tend to wear my jeans out a little quicker than usual in certain areas.

very great..but umm maybe someone else can use those pants instead of burning?? just a thought..seems sad0

Sold- I'm digging out my size 16's and burning them. Hell yeah!0

Way to go!!! Woo Hoo!!!:flowerforyou:0

Liar liar your pants are on....
oh
ahaha
Laughing so bad at the flaming pant part
rofl0 -
I always wanted to do that!!! But I had so many jeans I felt like I could give them to someone else instead...lol0

Been making myself give away anything that doesn't fit me as soon as I shrink out of it. If I don't have my backup chub-drobe of clothing, it's going to make it impossible for me to do anything but keep losing!! Love the burning!!!!0

Congrats! You look fantastic! Good for you with the burning of your jeans. And don't feel bad about it. I know exactly what you mean about certain parts being more worn than others. No one would want mine either. I wear/wore them to death!!0

Love it!!!!!!!0

Oh my gosh I am SOOO going to have to do that!! What a way to celebrate weight loss! I love it! WTG!!!!0

Congrats and what a great idea to burn those pesky jeans!0

What a fantastic idea think I might just have to do this also 0
