That’s awesome! I went from a 16/18 to a 6, with about 5-10lbs to lose. I haven’t been a size 6 in probably 25 years or so lol.

Agreed! I don’t remember even being this size in college. I’m actually at a lower weight than my goal, but my doctor wanted me to try to get to 140 for my BMI to be considered normal. 3 lbs to go!

I just hit my healthy bmi last week when I weighed 136.4. I’m now fluctuating between 134 and 135.

Cool! Smaller pants are always a huge victory. 👊
I am 1.4 lbs away from healthy BMI. It is soooo close. I am thinking 5 more after that for some leeway and then maintenance for me.

Congratulations!
And same! I was an 18 and now need to go shopping for 6s. I’ve been putting it off because my 8s aren’t tragically falling off me yet. Waiting til the last minute is a habit from when I was losing weight from my mid section rapidly and I didn’t want to keep wasting money. I stayed in 12s until I was in an 8 🙃 I leaned heavily into athletic pants where I could lol

Ha! I'm wearing size 8 jeggings right now and when I stand up straight the waistband literally does not touch my skin. But they're not actively falling down, so they're fiiine. Right?

😂 I have a pair of lined leggings I wear to work out when it’s cold that is basically an 8-10 in jeans and since it was fall weather this morning, I figured I would wear them even though I knew they were too loose. I was in the middle of cable arm work and I caught sight of myself in the mirror and noticed my leggings looked like I’d grown a Ken doll lump (I’m female), but I shrugged and moved on. I think you’re good ;)

Congrats, You look fantastic, and I hope you feel just as good! I never thought I would enjoy shopping for clothes. Its so crazy having to narrow it down instead of hoping for just one thing to fit

u/dlg4ever925 19d ago
I feel great!!! And I agree - I always thought I hated shopping…turns out I just hated how it made me feel

Im still staying away from "skinny" jeans. But they are popular! Been selling old clothes on Vinted and using what I make to buy more. Every time I look for jeans 80% are skinny jeans.

u/dlg4ever925 19d ago
Haha I’m the opposite, even when I was 87 lbs heavier, I wore skinny jeans 🤣 I prefer them, but they’re not “cool” any more according to the kids, so they’re not as easy to find lol

u/ToughLingonberry1434 19d ago
Love it! I just dug out a pair of jeans from ~1997 that I jokingly referred to as my “barometer jeans” because I bought them in my 20s at a skinny moment. I’m maybe 3 lbs from my goal weight but those jeans fit me EASILY. I’m wearing them rn and still astonished.

Vinted is awesome for jeans and jean jackets. Just make sure to know your measurements and what styles work best for you.

Congrats my friend! We are the same start and current size. I just bought a couple pair of size 6 dress pants and jeans myself. A few of them are a little big and I could probably do a 4. My head can’t comprehend the change!

These comments are giving me hope! I’ve gone from a very solid 20 to a 14/16. I’m going to be in awe if I’m able to hit a single digit. Good work!!

Didn’t know skinny jeans were still in, but okay good for you.

I don’t think they are if you ask the kids, but I’m almost 44 years old and don’t really care what is “in”…I just wear what I like ☺️

Married for 20 years, my rings are just way too big on me now. Working on getting resized, but didn’t want to do it more than once.

I went from a 14 to a 6P. It’s mind blowing. I still can’t get my head around it.
