Somehow, I'm 2 sizes smaller!

[mouse_chalk]

Last night, I went out with 'the girls' on an exclusive no-men allowed girly night out. First time I've been out in months and months, being poor and ill...

All day long, I was in a complete strop, because I couldn't find anything to wear. I think I tried on just about everything I owned and nothing looked right- even the reasonably new dress I'd worn on Monday looked 'awful' on me! :X

Anyway, I had these black jeans that I used to wear a lot more, but not so often now as they are big on me. I was seriously considering trying to shrink them in the wash but I didn't have time.

So we went to Asda to do the shopping and I look round the clothes department. I found the same pair of jeans, for £12, that I already have, but these ones were 2 sizes smaller! They fit perfectly! Cheered me up in no time lol!

So... somehow I've dropped 2 jean sizes. In just a few months. I was amazed! Plus, all night last night my friends kept commenting that I've lost weight as well....

WOO HOO! :biggrin2:

:yahoo:

WOOHOOO

Go jen Go Jen!!

Thats really great!

Did you have a nice time out?

 

[mouse_chalk]

Thanks! The best part is that I haven't even been trying to lose weight! :biggrin2:

And yeah I had a great night out thanks- although my feet are KILLING me from dancing in heels for hours on end lol

 

[Becca]

LOL - Great :highfive:

Wow.. I love it when that happens. I've recently gone UP a jeans size, although I haven't put on any weight. Its annoying, but to be honest I've thinned out my waist alot more, its all escaped to my arse, thighs and ****s... so in a way thats not a bad thing, my Mum actually said recently I look slimmer. I've also quit trying to squeeze myself into the size I wish I was. I find wearing proper size jeans make me look better and slimmer than squeezing into something smaller. It does feel great when you find a pair that fit you well. I jsut bought a dress from New Look. I grabbed the two sizes, as I am sometimes different. Tried on the bigger one and it was loose. Tried on the smaller one and it fits me PERFECTLY. Its so much more flattering when you can find something that fits you well.

I just bought a pair of wide leg jeans today. They are a big small round the waist but I'm putting it down to the fact they are new, and they will probably wear in as denim does. They are SO flattering. I love my skinnies but Gok Wan would not be impressed with me wearing them with my body shape. These ones are tight round the bum and skim over my thighs... they look alot better than others.

Yay for clothes that make you ferl great!

Yeah, I am not blessed with legs that could ever wear skinny jeans lol, much as I'd like to! I'm not even sure that I could pull off the jeans tucked into boots look :?

I totally agree that a good fitting pair of jeans is the best thing ever- my new pair fit so well- they're a little snug, but not tight or anything, and they're a bit stretchy too so they're really comfy!

I've got some wide-leg jeans too (good look for me lol), and they fit ok when I got them but they're really big on me now as well :?

Losing weight is all very well but it does create wardrobe dilemnas!

I just love the stretch jeans. They are so comfortable. It's really amazing how a well fitting item of clothing can make you feel so good about yourself, while other things make you feel like a cow.

Do we get to see a picture of you in those new jeans????????

Thats it. The diet begins tomorrow!

(Yeah right!)

[mouse_chalk]

Right.... Oh dear lol, I can't believe I'm about to post this!!! :shock:

I thought that it might help to compare a picture of me before, so here is first a picture of me a year ago. It was quite strange to go and find a *bad* picture of me- usually I only do shots from waist-up and I only ever show what I consider to be the best ones!

So, here I was a year ago...

And.... here is me today. You aren't getting a head shot in this as my face looks all horrible and squashed into my neck, and I refuse to show you all that lol! Also, the pic isn't the best as, Steve is not the photographer lol...

Oh gosh..... here goes!! :embarrassed:

UGH! I can't believe I posted that! :?

Looking at it I can't see any difference at all.... yet everyone I know agrees that I've lost tons of weight... And my jeans are now 2 sizes smaller....

Maybe the labels in the jeans were wrong

 

[Becca]

Jen to be honest you look beautiful in both pictures!

I love the jeans and you can tell you have lost weight and you look gorgous :shock:

So stop worrying!

 

[pinksalamander]

I can definitely see it, you have more of a waist and thinner thighs. Are the jeans high waisted? You look a similar shape to me and I find the high waisted jeans flatten out my stomach alot more.

Sunburnt are we?

:embarrassed:Sort of.... it's my 'tan' lol. Whenever I tan I sort of got a terracotta colour, rather than brown! I did get really sunburn earlier this year but it's faded now... it's so strange! Plus, the picture is for some reason making me look redder too- my face was really pink looking before I cropped it out

And they aren't proper high-waisted jeans, but they do have a waist on them, as opposed to being the 'hipster style' lol... I prefer them that way- makes me feel a bit more held in and gives me more of a waist I think...

Oh, and similar shape to you? HA! I wish!!

 

[mouse_chalk]

Oh, and thanks for the nice comments by the way guys!

 

[NZminilops]

I can see the weight loss, you already looked fine to me though :kiss:. You look smaller around the middle.

*edited to add: I look like a muffin if I wear jeans, consider yourself skinny and hot!*
