All my jeans were dirty so I wore my size 12 jeans I bought from Lucky Jeans late last year. They're way too big and need a big ole' belt to hold them up.

Now I'm wearing size 8 mid rise jeans but I can't fit into my size 8 low rise jeans. That's $300+ in jeans I can't wear! :explode: :explode: :explode:

I think it's time for me to stop shopping but at least I can see some progress.I can't wait until I start shopping again though!

    I looked like I was swimming in my pants that I put on for church yesterday. I had to put a belt on to hold them up!:happy: I've decided that I am not buying any clothes until it's time to start wearing spring/summer stuff. I think I'm going to have my mom alter the clothes that can be altered for now (except the jeans, you can't really do much with them.)
    I even thought about hitting the local Thrift Stores and Salvation Army to get a pair or two of smaller jeans to tie me over until shorts weather.

    I would definiatly hit up the thrift store! I do occasionally, and some people bring in really nice jeans for amazing prices, usually 3 dollars!! I know one of my old friends from school used to bring in her jeans, usually always silver/lucky brands. Always a little used, but good thing that's the look these days haha

    Ha Ha! If I did that, I would be in trouble since the ones I have are a size 22, now in a size 18 and probably will be at least a 14 or 12 when all is said and done!! I would have to go to work naked!! LOL

    Congrats on the lower size - soon you'll fit into them all!!

    I can't wait until I can fit into a pair of Luckys they sell them at costco and my bf wears them and I really like them. right now I am buying cheaper clothes that is a little too tight for me to wear so once spring and summer is here I will be able to wear them. Motivation makes me push on..... I went to Lane Bryant and bought a whole outfit that was originally 120 but between thier sale and the fact that they convinced be to apply for their credit card I only paid 40. I am excited to wear it.

    Bravo! I'm so happy your down in your jean sizes...that's my goal too! I heard you say that you wear a size 8 Levi's except that the lowrise Levi's were too tight...try Junior size 9 Levi's...they make a sexier cut than the women's sizes...you may fit a size 7 stretch as well...I'm a Levi's snob...have several pair...currently in size 11...working towards my 9s!

    That's awesome! It's a great feeling. I still have a lot of pants in my closet that are waiting for me. I love shopping at NY and CO and I am thinking I will be in a size 8 when I am done. I am not sure since it's been sooooooo long. I am currently wearing a 14 BUT they are big and I keep pulling them up so I think it's time to dig out my size 12's.

    Jeans always fit me different than slacks and I can't wear low rise, I have too big a booty!!!

    Okay so this whole jeans thing had me curious. As I was doing the laundry, I pulled out a pair of size 8 jeans of my daughters. They are pretty baggy on her, usually she's a 6. But anyways, I thought, "oh why not.........and I tried them on. They kind of fit. I mean I could zipper and button them. But it's not like I had to lie down on the bed or anything.
    So.........here's the cool thing. As of January 23rd (my starting date) I was wearing a size 12 jeans. Before you know it, I'm gonna be buying size 8's (or smaller if I make it to my goal weight):happy:
