Size 14 Jeans!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it amazing how much difference clothes that fit make? Good for you! Rachel

Rachel, it couldn't happen to a nicer person! Congrats! Peg

Peg, As always, thanks for the kind words! Hugs, Rachel

Rachel!!! I love reading your updates! You are doing so wonderfully, it makes me proud for us all. (does that make sense? ) 14s - just damn. I am wearing 14 tops now, but my bottoms are still 18s - can you say HANGING SKIN? Congratulations!!! ~Lara

Lara, You are so sweet! Thank you! I'm still 18 on top. The twins are taking there time catching up with this weightloss thing. Talk about HANGING SKIN! Thanks again, Rachel

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Just .... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even remember being in a 14! Maybe 25-30 year ago. I'm sooo proud of you. I feel like one of our own (Aprilers) has made it! I've got the hanging skin thing keeping me at a size 18 but that is still a lot better than the 28 I started with! Congratulations Keep up the good work! Ronda

Ronda, You are always a great support to me. Thank you. We've both gone down 10 sizes! I started at 24. Let's both keep up the good work! Hugs, Rachel

I'm so excited for both of you. A 10 lb baby! Rachel - that must have been a tough labor. Sizes are so weird - I haven't tried new jeans yet as it's still pretty warm here. I have some that Janine gave me that I'm going to try on later now that I'm thinking of it. But I have shorts in both 16 and 18 that fit me well. I'm still wearing a 42D bra - but mostly L shirts fit - XL is just getting too big. But I have a few that are too tight. Are men's sizes like this? As a lesbian I know little about men's clothes even though my partner wears them sometimes. Congratulations again. Ruth

Hi Ruth! Haven't seen ya around for a while. Fortunately my 10 pounder was my second, so it only took me a little over and hour to push him out! Thank God for epidurals! Mens numbered sizes are different and the s-xl are cut a lot differently then ours...no boobie room! Sound like you are doing great...congratulations! I look forward to meeting you soon! Rachel

Rachel, I had a 10 lb (well, 9 lb 11 oz.) baby myself about 9 years ago so I can empathize with you. He was my second also. My first was a c-section so I did VBAC with the second. Of course I did it backwards - my first baby only weighed 7 lb 9 oz. He would've been a lot easier to push out! I think a lot of my extra skin/fat around my middle is from that and not necessarily the weight loss. See ya, Ronda
