So my RL friend had WLS last year and ha**** goal, so I've been getting a bunch of hand me downs that run anywhere from size 14 to size 6. So far I've fit into a 14, xl and a few large sized tops. She gave me 2 pairs of Silver brand jeans, and they are really nice expensive jeans. I tried on the 31x32 a few weeks ago and could get them on but there was no way I could have comfortably worn them. So today I thought I'd try again, and guess what? Oh yeah, they fit. I'm wearing them right now. So, I have a big ole muffin top, but I'm wearing a shirt to hide it and I have no shame.

I wanted to see what the sizing was on their website so I looked and it says that the 31 waist is equivalent to a size 7/8? That can't be right, can it? Anyway, I don't care, I'm super excited. I also have a pair of 30x32's in the same jeans (the style is Suki) and I'm going to count the days to see how long until I can squeeze into those ones!

That is awesome - best feeling ever!

I made a small scrap book of all the tags I cut off of all the jeans I bought as I went down through sizes. I was so damn proud of each milestone and could not bring myself to throw them out. Sounds silly, but it was very important to me to somehow mark those moments and helped me appreciate each small victory.

I'm thrilled for you! Keep up the good work.

I always enjoy your posts ^^ I got a pair of non stretchy size 12 jeans. I was able to button but man was it not a pretty sight. I was muffin topped and camel toed, but i still wore them around the house the whole day cause I was too excited that they buttoned lol. Embrace the muffin! :P(dont embrace the edible muffins)

Oh congrats!!! I love that brand!

A pair of Silver Jeans was my best find ever at Goodwill. I could not believe it. I grabbed those babies up and was so happy when they fit me. They're too big for me now, but I wear them anyway...lol.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

My favorite pair of jeans are a size 24 Silver Sui cut jeans. They make me feel amazing every time I wear them and help me to stay diligent and focused on my choices. Amazing job!
