Wow!!! That is fabulous progress canmarielan....congratulations!
You are an absolute inspiration with all the work you're doing....and you also look fabulous by the way!

I'm at that point where my capris, sweatpants and jeans are all feeling loose and some even baggy....but I'm not yet into my "goal pants" that I last wore about.....ummm.....10 years ago? They're size 18 (by the old sizes, not the new inflated ones) Apple Bottom jeans, and I love them. Right now, I can pull them all the way up, but they're skin tight and the button is about 4 inches from buttoning.

I'll get there....and maybe be wearing them at Reunion.

The crazy thing is that the jeans I wear most often and are feeling baggy are ALSO size 18....I had no idea that "size inflation" was such a real thing. It makes it hard for me to compare....I know I wore a size 12 in middle school, but what would that be now? No clue.

Has anyone else experienced this?
