Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003Size 16 (kinda sorta)
Well, I thought I would have to lose even more weight to fit into this size. However, I am able to (barely) squeeze into size 16 jeans now. I bought 3 different brands, and I can put all of them on.... so I know it isn't because just one brand is cut bigger. The 18's are a little big and the 16's are a little small... But I am going to squeeze my fat a.s into them and wear them anyway. It gives me a boost, as I haven't worn this size in years! I started to cry as I got the zipper up, I was so happy. The tough part is that my thighs are proportionately smaller then my waist. Therefore, the thighs fit perfect but it is the waist that is snug. I am hoping that they stretch a bit as I wear them, as most jeans do. Due to the 4-5x a week work-outs at 24 hour fitness and personal trainer, I've lost 10 lbs of fat these past 2 weeks and gained 4 lbs of muscle (total loss 6 lbs according to Tanita). I am also going to go on a semi re-feed in 2 weeks and stay on that re-feed until I hit my goal of 170-180. The re-feed will consist of about 800-1000 (up from 550-750) calories and will incorporate some more protein, grains and dairy into my daily food allotment. I will still work with the dietician and my endo to make sure that I am remaining healthy and accountable. 284/226/199(mini)/175 - Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > Well, I thought I would have to lose even more weight to fit into this size. > However, I am able to (barely) squeeze into size 16 jeans now.

Jenn Yep... 5 shakes/soup a day and 1-2 cups of low carb veggies a day. There are some days that I don't eat any veggies... Anyway, the mild re-feed will include 3 shakes/soup a day, 2 servings of veggies, 1 serving of fruit, 4 oz of meat/protein, 1 serving of bread/grains and 1 serving of dairy. For instance: Breakfast, 1 cup of low fat plain yogurt and berries mid morning - shake/soup lunch, chef salad with 2 oz of lean meat mid afternoon - shake/soup dinner - 2 eggs, 1 piece of whole grain toast 2 hours before bed - shake I plan on eating this way until I reach goal. Due to my activity level, I want the extra calories to help me build more muscle. -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > > Well, I thought I would have to lose even more weight to fit into this > size.

Jenn You're right, that is where I am now to a lesser degree. I will still be on a very low calorie diet, just not as low as it currently is! I am looking at the menu ideas with such anticipation. I had no idea how much I would look forward to eating an egg or a piece of cheese or a piece of toast. I have spent too much time, energy and money to get to the point I am at now. I will not let myself go overboard and gain weight. > You'll find as time goes on and you become more fit that you'll be able to > (and need to) increase your calories and add a fat serving or two to the > equation. > > Jenn > Well, I thought I would have to lose even more weight to fit into this size. > However, I am able to (barely) squeeze into size 16 jeans now.

Congrats on the new size! I also have the small hip/thighs and thick waist build. I use to love the Lee jeans with the small elastic insert at the waist. I recently bought a couple pair of stretch jeans and find they fit even better. I've also found the jeans that fit just below the waist are usually a good choice for those of us with no waist.

My problem is that I used to be very overweight and have alot of extra skin/fat around my abdomen. I have a waist, but my stomach hangs a little bit. As I've lost weight, it has gotten much better, but it still sags. Its the sagging skin/fat that is making the jeans tight. I also have pretty wide hips (birthing hips I'm told). I usually buy stretch jeans and they help some. However, but the end of the day, the legs stretch out and look way too big on me. I'll try the low-rise jeans that you mention in your post and let you know!! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > > Well, I thought I would have to lose even more weight to fit into this > size. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > Email me at: > > perpleglow(AT)comcast.net Hi PG, I'm in the 16 jeans only in Levi. The others are all 14 plus dress pants. I can't figure what your weight now is? Is it the 199? I guess I'm nosy ,not, but yo are near my size I THINK:)I'm 187 and I carry weight in BOTH the hips plus legs. I'm a 10-12 top (Med.) and it makes life a bit tough. Anyways, you have a big congrats from me!!!!!!! You have done very well!! glo Hey Gloria, I currently weigh 226. 284 is my start weight. 199 is a mini-goal weight and 170-180 is my ultimate goal weight. I am tall with a long torso, so I can squeeze into smaller sizes at my weight. And, thank you very much! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > Hi PG, I'm in the 16 jeans only in Levi.
