Blushin' and-a-Braggin'...

Today, I got two new pairs of pants in the mail. When I ordered them, I was a size 14-- and none of my pants fit anymore. I got the new pants, and they are very loose! My best friend was telling me that they were too big. (Faint!) So, I checked my size by trying other pants, (quite a few) and it looks like I'm a size 12/13.

Why I'm a-braggin'? 7 weeks ago, I was a size 16/18-- a very uncomfortable 16/18.

So, yay for me.

and well u should!!!

that is an AWESOME accomplishment. Dropping 1 size, is to my way of thinking, better than confirmation on the scale. I hate feeling like 2 lbs of baloney in a 1 lb. bag. Way to go!!! Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI

There is nothin' better than fitting into those jeans that you haven't been able to pour yourself into before. AND they are loose to boot. WTG! Skinny jeans can make a woman HAPPY!

I was the same jean size as you (16/18) and am now a 12 also. Yay us!

The cool thing for me is-- this Friday my band's playing out-- and for the first time in YEARS, I'm actually going to be happy with how I look onstage.
