I love it!

I am doing my laundry today and all the work pants and jeans that I used to have to hang to dry ... you know, because if they shrunk I might've popped a button and put someone's eye out, or maybe caused a partial decapitation ... I now have to put in the dryer, on high ...and hope they shrink up a bit. As an added bonus, I will also have to do less ironing because my pants come out without wrinkles, not the case when you hang them to dry.

Thats the best ever. This losing weight stuff is suiting me just fine.

Congrats!

Teehee! Then you get the pants where they go on and "ya!" Then you sit for a few mins get up and hey are all stretched out. Then the "damn it.." comes haha!

This cracked me up! At this moment I have 3 pairs of pants (which is my entire wardrobe at this point :) washing in hot water and will be putting them in the dryer on the hot cycle - praying for a little shrinkage to carry me through until payday. Man, life is tough isn't it :D Keep on shrinkin' Snikahs!!!

I've been wearing elastic waist pants for so long! I can't wait until I can get some regular zipper and button pants--and then shrink them! Good for you, Snikahs! (Always love your posts.)

Drying the fat pants follow up ...

I put on some jeans I washed in warm water and dried on high this morning ... these were jeans just a few months ago I had to do the stuffing dance to put on ... you know suck in the stomach to button and then bounce up and down to help the zipper come up and then try to shove the muffin top under the top of the jeans ... well, I put them on, no dance, no muffin top. They fit comfy now, but my lunch they will be too baggy.

I just want to get through the winter on my old clothes ... just a few more months. Hopefully I have no reason to run while not in gym clothes in the interim, otherwise I will be nekked in the streets.

Oh hoping to join you soon....I can't wait to say "oh geesh these don't fit anymore"....Been a long time since that.

and I to have no jeans as the indentations they left were way to painful.

Love this! I have a sweater in the dryer right now...hoping it will shrink!

We have a new saying around here... "Those jeans are gangsta now. To the donation bag!!!" Guess i'll be at the thrift store this week looking for a new size. Ain't life grand?

Powerful buttons, Snikahs! Partial decapitation? Too Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
