No.. I'm not posting one.  

But for those of you who have gotten to this point, what sort of size change were you at before it worked?  I'm a size 12 now and I've got my largest size (28) in the closet but I'm afraid to try to put two legs into one leg since a) I'd probably fall and kill myself and b) if it didn't actually work I might feel bad.  Or annoyed.  I don't want to try it until it's guaranteed to work :P

Lol Gwen, you're too funny. Just the other day i was cleaning out my old scrubs for charity and the largest size i had was a 5x and it was very snug. I was oh, i've always wanted to do this so, i hoped into one leg and i could my two legs and another if i had 3. I was so happy, overwhelmed at the same time then, i was like damn, i used to be huge. I now weigh 170 and i can fit med/size 8-10 depending on the brand. Do it, you'd be surprised.

I didn't actually take the picture but I did have my size 32 pants and I was a size 14 and I'm pretty sure I could do it. I was in the SMO camp so you know, I had that going for me I guess.

You should totally take a picture :D  It worked for me with a change from 28 to 12!

Gwen, just do it! 

You had me curious so I grabbed the pair of jeans I'm saving from my largest size and climbed in. They are stretchy,  but I got in most of the way! Hilarious, until I almost died trying to get out. I'm a size 10, those are a size 22.

I did!  These comments really helped encourage me :D  I was hopping around to get to a good picture location like a fool.  :D

I have one, but it's poor quality pic (reason for not posting it)

I was 358 lbs in a size 4x scrubs for work, and they were snug... I am now 196-198 lbs and wear a size L scrubs (they fit loose, YAY!)

In my pic I have both legs in one pant leg and my daughter (11 years old) in the other pant leg!

LMAO looks hilarious! But I was very happy to see that : )

That's awesome!  I felt awesome doing mine.  I had to hop from the bedroom to the hallway so my partner could take a picture of me.  Hehe.  Reading the comments here gave me the motivation to try!
