Disclaimer: Please don't take this as bragging - I would only tell you guys!!

So my size 16 jeans that I just bought about 2 weeks ago - they are falling off me!!  Ugh!!! I know I should be happy - but dang!!  I really need to take the advice on here and find a thrift store!!  I can't believe in only 4 months, I've gone from a size 20 to possibly a 14!! This is absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself!! 

PS..I am so addicted to this site!! Thank you for all your advice!!!
Hugs!!

Try Wal Mart Faded Glory jeans  $12!  I cut the bottoms and made capris.

Jeans are jeans unitl I get to my goal weight.

That is unbelievable... I am so happy for you and I love hearing success stories. Makes me more and more excited about getting sleeved..I am pushing a size 20 to a 22...I dream of being a size 14. Yes, a thift store is your best bet or try to return the jeans to the store if you haven't worn them too much. But it sounds like a wonderful problem to have.... Keep sharing..

I know you can't wait!! It will be here before you know it!  Go take a look at the clothes in your closet and tell them goodbye! I'm serious!!!  I have given away most of my clothes!!

My local thrift stores do not seem to carry larger sizes so I shop on Freecycle and Walmart until I can get to a steady size.

AWESOME!!!  I know what you mean about bragging...I want to tell everyone I can finally fit into a size 12 and that I was able to walk into Forever 21 at the mall and buy a large shirt (NEVER done that before)...but then I feel like I'm bragging, but really I'm in shock and awe and just TOTALLY EXCITED!!!!  Thats what this site is for because we all get it!

Try shopping clearance.  I LOVE Kohl's and they usually have a good clearance section, so when you get too small for those jeans you haven't lost $40 bucks, but only $13.

Keep up the GREAT work!
