Have I fit into size 14 jeans. I do now!! Bought a pair today and they aren't real tight. Can't believe it! Just could not think about going to a 12, so did not even try it. Will next time!

It is funny you say you "just couldn't think about going into a 12". My daughter was a size 18 and lost a significant amount of weight. I finally was able to take her shopping and she tried on 16s and had to go to a 14. She looked sooooo much betting in this size that we just assumed it was the correct one. We bought clothes. Lots of them. After wearing them once, we HAD to go back and buy more. Size 10. She is now a healthy 2.

I guess my point it that you should probably always keep trying the next size down while you are losing because you don't want to "waist"(pun) money because you thought you couldn't possible be that size.

And CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

way to go
I am going out and buying a size 12 dress and I will hang it up in room as soon as I get my dayte. I did this before with a 16 and had fit in and actually had gone smaller, but now I am a 22, hating it.
