I've come to a realization now that I can finally fit back into my jeans once again. I need to continue to wear either jeans or none strechy pants. I just have gotten into the habit of wearing pants that are very giving and I start to get comfortable. Well, I've decided to solve that problem once and for all! I'm going out tomorrow to buy a few new pair of pants and I am going through my closet and I'm donating the rest. I am also going to buy a pair of jeans 1 size smaller and as soon as I fit into them, the others are gone too. I need to really be able to notice my progress and strech pants just don't cut it anymore!

LOL ive never been a fan of the stretchy pants!! i HAD to buy a new pair of jeans the other day because i have NO more that fit. im down 2 sizes and they look great! im happy bout that...

Good plan...jeans definately tell it all. I can't wait until my skinny jeans are no longer tight!

Congratulations! Since I have clothes ranging from size 5 to size 18+ in my closet, as I lose the weight, I keep trying on some of my smaller sizes...I'm down to a 14 now and counting. I lost 18 lbs as of this weeks weigh in 210- 192 (6 weeks). I'm hoping that one day I will be able to get back into the 5's....We'll see..
Keep up the great work. No more stretchies. Yeah!!!

i just boughht size 14, which for me is very good, i am almost 6' tall, i order from lands end as they have the 34" inseam that i need, bought very tight fitting commuter pants,
fabo, too bad they are sold out in all the other colors, but the material stretches for traveling etc but looks like a good dress pants,
got out my 15-year old old Liz Claiborne jackets and they all fit
but getting into size 14 felt good as i was up to 18W, yikes!!!!
keep posting everyone, these posts keep me going,

That is so great Tall and not as tubby! That is where I'm at right now is a size 18. I went out today and bought 2 new pair of jeans and 2 pair of workout pants and just dropped of all my stretchy pants, that were in good condition, at goodwill! I'm on my way and I'm am getting serious about my weight loss journey! If I don't have them I can't grow back into them! I still have 3 pairs of jeans that are a size 16 so when I fit into them the size 18 jeans are outta here!

Good for you!!! I can't wait to be in your shoes! Keep up the great work, Donna... I wanna be just like you!

We Control our destiny!
And Woo! I can't wait until you get there! Just think you're 1 day closer to that day! I get so much motivation reading how your progressing.
For all who always make me smile when I come here!

I am so very happy for you. You are a great inspiration to me and to everyone. My mom and my mom-in-law told me I need to go and buy a smaller pair of jeans cuz they are way to baggy. I havent yet, I will wait to see what i get for christmas gifts and then go shopping. My mom calls them butt-baggy jeans. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

THAT'S a GREAT idea!! I actually tried on some pants, that used to be real baggy, a few months ago, and I couldn't get them past my knees....last week I tried them on and got them over my butt, however, I couldn't even come close to closing them....can't wait to see how close I get next month!!
