16???!!!!!????

Hey all - I've been battling the darn 1/2 lb - up, down, up, down...but my clothes have been feeling looser so I decided to be brave last night and pulled on a pair of size 16 jeans that I have in the bottom drawer of my dresser. I was able to pull them up, zip and button them!!! No, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them outside of the house at this point but I am very excited to report that for the three minutes that I had them on, my feet did not turn blue from lack of circulation!! I consider this a minor goal reached and worthy of a wahoo !! Hope you all have a great day! Deb

That IS worthy of two WAHOOS. I love moving down in size...in fact we were probably both cheering at the same time this morning...I am wearing my snazzy new size 12 jeans and I can even bend over in them!!! WE ARE AWESOME!!! Lori 231/168/130

Deb that is awesome!!!! Seriously I have been there where you are soo happy that you can get a lower size jeans on, but ummm...still couldn't wear them in public. I love to read on here when other people do the same thing I do. CONGRADS though on going down another size!!!!! Michelle

WTG all of you! But maybe i'm slow but explain to me exactly why you can't wear them in public? If they fit you then you must look great in them. I am currently wearing a size 16 and loving it. It's been over 20 yrs since I wore 16 jeans. I'm looking forward to 14. And let me tell you, if they fit i'm wearing 'em! It took me too long and a lot of hard work to get here. You enjoy the moment and keep up the good work. You deserve it! ~Angel 222/160/120 BMI 31.2

Congrats!! Way to go! you are doing great, and you are like, me... I like to set lots of small goals and celebrate LOTS when I reach one of them!! Keep up the good work! Before you know it you will be able to wear them for an entire day! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

16!!!! Wahooooooo! I'm the same way with size 18 - can wear them - but not so certain anyone SHOULD see my thighs in them yet LOL Congratulations!

Congratulations Deb !!!! I know all too well how it feels to be able to fit smaller clothes you previously wore. That is so wonderful. Now my question is...why can't you wear them in public"? Be proud of what you've accomplished and strut your stuff. I am now going into a size 12 (purchased some jeans yesterday) and they're tight, but that didn't stop me from wearing them to a party last night. So again I say...put on your 16's and strut your stuff...you deserve it!!! Cassandra

WTG!!! I aspire to 16. I am the same way with my 18s. I can get into them and zip but, well let's just say I have a couple of rolls with them. I have also been at a stand still, the scale finally moved this morning. I am looking for a few more lbs before vacation.
