What ya wearing today????
I've been sick in bed with a cold since Friday. Today was the first day I went out and did something. I wore a navy blue nike warm up suit jacket and pants men's x-small and the pants were still a little too big!!
I remember the days when men's xx-large tshirts fit then I'd throw em in the dryer and have to stretch them before wearing them again. Glad those days are over!!
I just bought my first pair of 10's! They are a little snug but they are on and zipped! My 12's were getting saggy in the rear. I can wear a med top. I will try and post a picture tomorrow of me in my new jeans and my sons 32's! I still feel as big as a cow! And am not totally there yet! I wanted to be at 150 by Dec 20th but it doesn't look like I will get there. I weigh 174 today.
You are doing great! Keep up the good work!

Hi,
Ok, first off HI everyone, been awhile I know, lol.....
Congrats Darlene on your wonderful 14's. I know I can wear 16's I have 1 or 2 pairs of 16 jeans and they fit great. I keep wearing size 18's because John's Niece is a size 18 (she's 16 lol) so, for the time being I just go steal her jeans and t-shirts, lol That is much easier than going and spendin money on clothes right now. I have about 12-16 pairs of size 14 waiting on me in my closet, I went to a yard sale at a retirement community(nursing home) and a wife of a friend of mine was working the yard sale, so she gave me 2 white large trash bags and told me to fill them up. I was looking through all the clothes and seen all these blue jeans and they were all size 14, but in my minds eye, I was thinking, well, it won't be long before I can fit into those, so I got ALL of the size 14's I could get my hands on and they're ST. JOHNS BAY. One of the better brands out there, and more expensive ones, lol. I got some really cute tops, size L and XL. I tried on one of the 14's about 3 weeks ago, I got them on and over my butt, but at that time I couldn't get them buttoned or zipped, fat gut still in the way So, soon I will be trying those 14's again. I can wear size XL shirts, mostly 16-18 or 18-20, but those are large on me. I can fit into my fiance's clothes, so I'm even stealing his shirts also, lol....
Today for HALLOWEEN I wore a pair of loose size 18 jeans, a black 18/20 t-shirt, and as size 18/20 black sweater jacket, OH yeah, can't forget my black witches hat, with a point, lol, and it had a purple brim.
So, wonderful job to everyone....
EVERYONE IS DOING SO AWESOMLY WONDERFUL I'M PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US MARCHERS!!!!!!!!

Well, I wish I could say I were into a 14. Congratulations, Darlene. You are do so great. I am wearing 14/16 - 18/20 tops and 16-20 pants. I have two size 20 jeans that I wear, they fit nicely, not baggy at all yet. My size 20 dress slacks are way too big. My daughter said they look really bad, but like you I am trying not to spend a lot right now on clothes so they will have to do. I did go last night and buy two new sweaters, size 14/16 and they aren't tight in the hips at all! That is huge for me since I am so much bigger in the bottom than the top.
I felt so fat yesterday though. I don't know what it was but I was feeling like everytime I saw myself I looked so big. I am still pretty big but I know that I will likely never be smaller than a 14 in the bottom. At least that is what I am hoping for. But I felt like I was still 275 yesterday. One of those days I guess.
Congrats again!
Hugs, Robin
Congrats on the 14! I can't wait until I'm in a 14! I'm currently wearing a size 18 pants and a large or XL shirt. I can't wait to lose even more and finally be a 14, or better yet, even smaller! I'll be happy with the 14 though! That's smaller than I was throughout high school!
