Did anyone else notice that the jean sizes vary tremendously these days. I have tons of jeans in various sizes from 4-16 that I've kept over the past 5 years. Well, when I started M.F. I was a 16, then I started wearing my 14's which are getting very loose. I was shopping at Walmart the other day and for the heck of it I tried on a pair of size 10 average jeans (regular-not stretch) to see how much further I had to go until I could possibly fit into them. To my surprise they went right on and fit PERFECT. Now I know I'm NOT a size 10 yet. But I had to buy them just because the tag says size 10 I was even making sure all the tags everywhere on the jeans inside, outside, and on the hanger matched because I couldn't believe it. Now today I put on a pair of my OLD size 12's and they fit good except a little snug in the waste (because that is where all my fat is) but not uncomfortable. I have to say my "muffin tops" are really shrinking! I haven't lost that much weight so far. I've only been on M.F. for 2 1/2 weeks. How do the sizes fluctuate SO MUCH?

Well, they made the sale. If that particular pair of jeans had been marked at size 12 or 14, you wouldn't have bought them. The manufacturers have our number......maddening, but I fall for it, too.

Right now I have 3 pairs of jeans that fit ok. One is apair from Lane Bryant size 22, one is a pair from Fashion bug size 20 and one is a pair from walmart size 18. All I have to say is DUH.

Actually Jo, I still would have bought them because like I said they fit PERFECT. I haven't had a pair of jeans fit me that good in along time. I was shocked. But it is nice buying a pair of jeans that fit great and have the size 10 tag on it.

Funny thing about those jeans, I oh so remember the size 7/8 I bought 10 years ago. I was SO not a 7/8. I have bought on ebay 5 pair of jeans, all the same manufacture LAWMAN jeans. I have 15/16 13/14 11/12 9/10 and one pair of 18 that are my first goal. When the weight stalemates, I will use the jeans and how they fir to get me through.

You are doing great keep it up...
