I have never found jean that fit  "good" until last week. I found Rider Relaxed Ultra Fit jeans.  They are smaller in the waist, dont bag in the back of the butt or gap, and actually fit my thunder thighs. Even better when I thought I would be optimistic to try on a size 12 and was SHOCKED to fit into 10's!!!  Loved them sooo much bought a blue AND a black pair. They were only $19 at Walmart. Great since next month I will need a size 8!

I have never loved jeans shopping.  Had sooo many compliments on them and everyone says I look like I have lost 10 more pounds in them! Whoo Hooo! Who wouldn't love that! Hubby calls them my skinny jeans!

At our support group our leader showed us her loose skin on her thighs. Yewwww! I am starting to see some minor loose skin in the tops of my thighs (and of course my stretch marks are shrinking) but the loose skin is not noticeable to anyone but me.  One older woman in our support group who makes a point of over telling her story EVERY month and goes on FOREVER, who some of us call "mother hen",  made some smart ass comment (when we were asked to share our stories to the preops) about how we lose weight better when we are younger, blah blah blah,  when I said I was down to a size 10!   Guess she is a bit jealous. Of course my response was something to the effect of why I had WLS now while I was younger.  Tooooooo much fun to stir the pot! If you know me, you know how nonchalantly  I can stir the pot with those who annoy me!  Of course, I had so much fun standing next to her in my size 10 jeans!  Don't know who the new guy was but he made my day when he said I looked great and my skin/face didn't look like I was ever heavy and lost weight like so many peoples face does.  (No, he wasnt hitting on me! Just made a really nice compliment.)  Wore  another pair of those size 10 jeans to the soccer games today and soooo many people commented on how much smaller I look with better fitting clothes. One of the moms  who was compimenting me I went to high school with so she remembers me skinny and said so many nice things today.  Thanks Becky!!!  Really on cloud nine right now!   Need to have hubby take some more pics to upload! 

Count me in on the Ambien sleep walking, sex and fridge raids.  Dont remember any of it!  Hubby is a very happy man of late especially when he makes comments in the morning and I have NO clue what he is talking about!  I had a scary night three nights ago.  He said I fell asleep during whoopie and he got me dressed!  He also told me he caught me in the freezer eating Cool Whip later that night. Now he is under strict orders to get up if he hears a noise in the kitchen!  Imagine if I had gotten into the kids candy!!!!

Tried Lunesta but had that awful taste in my mouth. Stuck with the Ambien, side effects and all. :)))))))))

Went to buy some pants yesterday. Being optimistic, I grabbed several pairs of size 12s in different brands as we all know sizes run differently by brand.  The poor dressing room attendant (who knows me well over the last few months) thought I had a serious problems when she heard the "no flipping way" comment. The 12's were too big!  Went back to get size 10's and ended up with 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of dress pants made by three different companies all in a size 10!!!!  They fit!!! I would have never thought I would see a size 10 again!!!
