Claire-in-Texas

My goal was a size 6. To me that was the ultimate!!

I got there, and bought all these cute jeans, size 6.

Suddenly (and I do mean SUDDENLY), my size 6 jeans are so big that they are literally falling off and bulging at the rear and hips.

Hmm, well, waddya know!

Yesterday I went jeans shopping. I tried on 4's, and while they fit at the waist, they bulged at the rear end and hips. What?? Ok, hmmm, let's try the junior sizes. Nah, that can't be. But let's try.

I came home with two pair of size FIVE jeans - dark indigo denim (flare) and stone wash (skinny). Low rise, fit perfectly.

Well, I'll be damned........

PS - Now it's all about exercise, I'm not losing weight any longer, which is exactly the plan. I eat well, small portions, no sugar, low carbs. Exercise moderately (not compulsively) but often. And this old body is....well, it's not bad!!! (I would have to keep my clothes on for this assessment, however!!!).

Wow, Claire, that's great! And if you get too small for the jr's, there's always the boy's jeans section--they're cheaper!
best,
Anita

That IS an awesome WOW moment. My big girl pants fell off me the other day- waiting for the next size to fall - they are loose but not falling.

Congrats!
