  1. I went to my local Tesco (grocery store) and they were having a '20% off all clothing' promotion. I
    needed some more jeans (one pair that barely fitted just wasn't enough) and decided to treat myself.
    I tried on a couple of pairs and the size 18s (US size 16) were too big! I was wearing a size 18
    when I met DH almost 14 years ago and by ten months ago I was wearing a size 30 (US 28).

    I am now sitting here wearing size 16 (US size 14) jeans and while they are a tiny bit tight I can
    do them up, sit down and still breathe, LOL.

    I cannot believe that in ten months I have dropped seven sizes in jeans! It feels soooooooo good.

  8. Thanks Elaine,

    I keep thinking they must have got the sizes wrong on the jeans, I find it hard to believe that I
    could possibly fit into a size 16 pair of jeans!

  10. Thanks Amberle3,

    I can't describe how fantastic it feels, I forgot to say in my previous message but the jeans only
    cost me £3.20 a pair too! Tesco's basics jeans are normally £4 a pair so with the 20% discount I got
    two pairs for just £6.40!

    Hehehe. I have that same problem. I am not sure what size I was before I started losing weight (I
    was a 14 prepregnancy, then I was pregnant and then immediately postpartum still in my maternity
    clothes because my regular clothes didn't fit...I had one pair of size 16 jeans that fit ok so maybe
    I was a US 16), but I am now a size 6. I have been a size six since May or so, so I have been
    shopping through several seasons already. I ALWAYS take a six, eight, and ten into the dressing room
    with me. The eights and tens are always too big and I am always SHOCKED to realize that! Actually
    there is one GAP skirt I have that is a size 4 even, but that's just getting absurd IMO. I am not
    really a 4.

    My biggest problem is that now that I am a six, everything is too short!!! I need the length in the
    larger sizes. You just can't win for losing.
