I've GOT to share this WOW!!!
Ok, well I got into work today and I went to change into my scrubs. I've been wearing the medium that the hospital provides but I thought just for kicks I would try a small....I looked at them and thought, NO WAY!! What in the world are you thinking??? Don't be disappointed if you can't even pull those up over your a**....
....well ladies and gentlemen....I sit here COMFORTABLE in....are you ready? Size SMALL SCRUBS!!!  I can't believe it. I've NEVER worn a size small in all of my 30 years of nursing. When I started my weight loss journey I couldn't even fit into ANY of the hospital scrubs. I had to go out and buy my own size 5x!!!
hmmmm...5x to a small? I think that is pretty darn good, don't you?

Beth..you and I weigh the same...so I could have told you you'd fit in a small! lol! I was shocked when I tried on the small pants a few weeks ago and they fit! I wear small bottoms now....but still a medium top. I have broad shoulders and fairly large, sagging breasts , so I don't think I'll ever wear a small top...but that's okay...I remember the days of 2x bottoms and 3x tops. I'm so happy to have given them to Goodwill. Woohooo!
