    Great post! If you attend a gym, ask if they have an ElectroLipoGraph body composition analysis system (ELG) for members to use. It measures your body fat percentage, which can give you your lean body mass (if you're remotely competent at math, or someone in the gym is, lol)

    My original goal was to be my high school weight again...126. The size I was when I got my learner's permit. Ha. I had this test done yesterday, and my lean body mass is 121lbs. Hmm, 5lbs of fat just isn't going to cut it! I changed my goal to 150, which will put me at 20% body fat, then I'll reevaluate. Luckily, my gym has one of these ELGs handy, so I can monitor my progress and make sure I'm not losing muscle in the process!

    Heather, I had a callous on my right index finger from zipping tight jeans! It's a little tore up right now just from trying these on.
    Yup, me too! I'd lay on the bed and suck in so hard I thought I'd pass out... At least I wouldn't fall far. :embarassed:

    The waistbands come up so frickin' HIGH on the 80s jeans! I would have been able to zip them if they were low rise.

    Seriously... the zipper is 6.5 inches long! The zipper in my newly purchased shorts is only 2.5 inches.

    LOL! Love it! Ya know, some hipsters would love to own those pants. You could probably get 60 bucks a pop at least! :) hehe

    Those are freaking awesome! And you totally pull them off. They kinda do want to make me cry though, and I'm not a boy. lol

    And be careful with the wire coathangers. My mom broke her nose that way putting on pants in the 70's lol.

    My fave posting today-this week even! How great is that!

    I know the "cant breathe" feeling though. I am now between sizes. My old pants are too big, the next size down in my closet is still too tight to be comfortable yet...blah.

    But..seriously...comical stuff!

    LMAO! I love the 80's, but way back then at my heaviest just before I got married I was 108 pounds, I don't think there would anyway in he** that I could get into my old parachute pants nor would I want to!

    I can (painfully) button them, but the zipper doesn't go all the way up. Maybe if I tried first thing in the morning, and had a wire coathanger, and laid down on the bed, and held the two ends together while someone else zipped. Maybe. But they fit close enough that I could snap a few pictures.

    This is the technique I used to get ALL my jeans on in high school. I wasn't chubby or anything - just kind of slutty. :happy:

    Hahahaha :)

    Well, that is pretty funny. However, those may be the worst pants I have EVER seen. EVER.
