I was shopping today abd saw a pair of white jeans size 12. I love white jeans so for the hell of it, I thought I would try the,m on just to get an idea of how much mor I'd have to lose to fit into them. Much to my amazment I could easily pull them up over my legs and pulled them easily over my butt.  The problem came when I tried to get them over my huge apron. It was about a 3 inch gap. Oh well, maybe in a couple of months. can;t wait now to get panni removed.

 I had a similar experience today - shopping for jeans.  I went looking for a pair of jeans that would fit properly.  I wasn't really concerned about the size - just wanted a good fit.  I picked up a pair of size 16's the whole time thinking that would likely be too small  The sales clerk suggested I take more than one pair into the dressing room.  I assumed, like me, she was thinking the 16's would be too small.  So, i said I would try the 18's as well.  Inside the dressing room I started with the 18's - too big.  The 16's fit just right - I felt like Goldilocks!!!  Not a 12 - but someday maybe.  I think it takes someone who has struggled with weight and buying clothes not because you like them, but because they are the best you can do, to understand.  I was thrilled my my "regular size 16's" - not 24, 22, or 20 but 16!  
Tonight I went for a walk and I was thinking back to when I was 70 pounds heavier how the vibrating of my fat when I walked was so uncomfortable.  Tonight I easily walked along a a good pace - not even any chub-rub!  LOL

Good luck with the removal of your panni - it will be well worth the wait!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
I love NSV.

Thank you Abby. Yeah you are right it takes someone who has been there to really appreciate the drop in sizes and getting clothes that "fit" well. At my highest I wore size 32 not 32 waist but size 32 pant. Most of the time though I just bought 3x large pants at Penningtons. Couldn't believe my eyes when size 12 wrangler jeans almost  fit  except for the panni , they would have.

Went back to value village today and bought a pair jeans size 13/14. They have a little stretch in them and fit really well. Damn Panni. :(

I would be at least 2 sizes smaller without that d*m panni. I am starting to have sag in my inner thigh too. I didn't expect that. I may have to move to Germany  for a complete body lift in another year! After 3 months living there, plastic surgery is free! Spreknzz dutch?- my apologies to anyone anyone out there of German decent for murdering the language.
