    I would never judge another person's outfit -- lest the judge mine, but I will tell you look good in them. They do also show off all the hard work you have put in the last 5 months. I'll let someone with a more knowledgeable eye tell you about wearing them in public thing, but thanks for showing off your transformation here amongst friends.

      I say wear 'em!! I think the jeans look great on you.

      Besides- junk in the trunk is a GOOD thing

      I'd suggest a more loose fitting top (for around your waist), but not too much looser and make sure it's not any longer than the blue one you have on! You don't need to drape anything on that bod of yours. Look how hot your are!

      You look fantastic, psigna! Your hard work is DEFINITELY paying off and shows BIGTIME!!!

      Well done, lady!

        You look good in them. And if they feel comfortable and make you happy, then wear them. I know I have a few pairs that fit me okay, but I don't feel good in them, so I don't wear them. Kent is right, they do show off the hard work you've put into your new WOL!

          looking good.

          I say, if they make you feel good about yourself, your confidence will shine thru and that is half the battle (imo). Wear them with pride. You look great.

          I do agree with Brook, I would wear another top that is a little looser around the middle. I have that problem every day.

          Go get'em tiger. Grrowlll

            Woo Hoo on getting into those 15's!!!

            That must feel realllllllllllllllllllllllllllly great!!! I dont like tight clothes but would put them on around the house just because I could! I say wear em whenever you want to remind yourself of all you have accomplished.

              Na, that's not too tight.

              I'm brave enought to wear the lycra cycling gear
              (shorts is the summer and longs at the moment!)

              The slight tighness might just give you that little extra motivation -
              "I'm gonna make these an easy fit."

              Go for it girl!
              Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
              he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                wear what you comfortable in and don't worry about anybody else. besides....being on this journey...they won't be tight for long and you have to go to a smaller size anyway!

                i zoomed in on the transformation more than the jeans. way to go!

                  I think the jeans look great... but I'm of the frame of mind that if you feel uncomfortable at all, people will see it. Wear them and work them if you feel good in them!

                    My Dad used to tell my older sister to stick a dime in the rear pocket and if he could tell it it was heads or tails she couldn't wear them.

                    LOL are you kidding, you look great. Keep working your Atkins and soon you will be posting your 13s until i read Brook's post I didn't even see what you might have been asking about.

                      If you can breathe when you sit down and more importantly if they make you feel good, then I say ................ wear them!!!!

                          Clothing is about how you feel and what makes you happy. If wearing those jeans make you feel great about yourself, than go for it. If you feel self conscious, then restrain.

                          But since you asked our opinion, I think I would wait to wear them. More times than not, tight clothes make us look much heavier than we really are.

                            I think that you look really good in your jeans, I wear my jeans the same way and I like it. If you feel comfortable in them and they make you feel good about yourself then wear them. You look GOOD!!! Keep up the good work.

                              You can really see your progress! Congrats!

                              The Jeans look alright to me, as long as you can sit comfortably in them.
