Wow... I used to fold the laundry and look at my size 28 jeans and feel bad because they were so much bigger than my hubby's size 31x30 jeans.  I wouldn't hold them up to fold because they looked twice as big as his were and I didn't want him to 'notice'.  I bought him a pair of Calvin Kleins this weekend and tried them on just for fun.  My honest first thought was these must be big... maybe they were mis-tagged somehow.  He tried them on last night and they fit him!!

WOW!!!! That is a significant NSV!!!  Congratulations.  You must have been in heaven when you put them on and they fit!!  I know I would be.  But unfortunately, they would be capris on me!!!!  Someday soon I shoudl fit into my hubbies jeans as well, but they too will be capris.  Still, great great great news.  And according to your ticker, you only have 18 pounds to goal?  How super is that? You really know how to rock your band.  Congrats again.

Wowie!!! That hits SO very close to home. I'm a 22/24 at the moment and my husband wears a 31/30 as well. I so totally put myself in your shoes and felt goosebumps and gittiness rise *chuckles*

The "My honest first thought was these must be big... maybe they were mis-tagged somehow" ... I find it intreguing that we're so quick to think there's a mistake and think we're still big rather than have our minds automatically accept the fact that we've lost enough to not need the "big girl" jeans anymore!

A very significant victory indeed! Crongrats!!!

Great job, Kim!!! Isn't that the most wonderful feeling? I did that with my husband's jeans about a month ago, and now they're big on me. He didn't quite know what to say (especially since I had nothing else at the time that fit, and he was afraid I would take them over!)

Keep up the great work!
