Hi Everyone!
I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to brag a little! I'm pretty much in maintenance now, and the NSV's just don't happen as often.

In my quest to find the perfect jeans, I hit my local Goodwill prepared to dig and find a denim gem. I have found I have to buy low rise jeans. They work better for my curvy shape...if I buy midrise jeans, I'm constantly having to pull them up...otherwise I have a droopy crotch thing going on! I know....TMI! If they measure 8 inches from the top of the waist band to wear the inseam starts I know they'll work for me. I found 2 pair of like new jeans. The tag says they're X2 jeans. I googled it...these are, I believe Express jeans. Here's the best part...size 8's!!! My 10's I've been wearing were feeling sloppy, but I never thought in a million years I could wear size 8's...and still breathe! I was doing the happy dance!

17 months ago...when I started the program, I was in size 26 jeans! It's amazing what this tool can help us achieve!!

That's great! Luv to hear NSV's..I can't imagine wearing 8's let alone 12's. I wear now a 24 jeans and I haven't had my surgery yet, but this give me something to look forward too. Thanks for sharing your story.

Kudos to you beautiful lady!  You and the shole Beagle Brigade could probably fit into your old jeans!

I hear ya on the Goodwill......I've developed two cross addictions.....Goodwill and Pinterest!  Get all my jeans at Goodwill and love it!
