none of my pants fit!

i'm grateful-- more than i can say.

i'm also constantly pulling up my pants and washing and drying them on hot to try to get a couple hours of wear out of them. gotta be careful standing up, cause sometimes the jeans... don't.

i want to wait a little while before buyng new jeans; i'm hoping i can skip a size and spend less money (starving- ha ha- student here). i have noticed that sizes are so varied with weight.

i'm probably a 22 right now since the 24s are falling off. i wonder how much weight equals he next size down? it seems to be so different from person to person. all i know is it feels really good when your clothes don't fit for the right reasons.

Way to go Alex!! I was told when on Weight watchers that every 10 pounds or so is a size. I think it might be different for people depending on their build.

Hi, that's great isn't it?? I'm having the same "problem" and I'm around the same size as you. I started in a 26 and now I'm in a 22 and occasionally a 20! It depends on the manufacturer. So nice to purposely dry them on hot instead of being paranoid they will shrink, huh?? good for you!!

Hi Alex,
If it wasn't for Savers and other thrift stores, I'd be dropping trou all over town! You may just want to get some used stuff, because I noticed I was WAY more motivated once I could SEE the progress I was making when I wasn't hiding in my too big clothes! I'm really cheap, so I'm not buying a new wardrobe for each size, just a few pieces...a top or two that fit and jeans or shorts. It really does help to SEE what you're losing! I also buy a "diagnostic" pair one size smaller so I know how I'm doing towards the next size. Luckily, everythings like $4, so I don't mind "splurging!"

Happy for you!

DeDe, I was going to suggest the same thing. Or I head for my favorite outlet store, where Wranger jeans are $8. I only get a couple of pairs because I know they're transitional sizes, but it sure is nice to see your progress - and have other people see it.

I second the notion of getting at least one good pair of pants that fit. Go to the thrift store, or I bought a pair of crops from Walmart for $14. The stuff from Goodwill was $8 for a pair of pants.
