Re: New clothes-size smaller than expected!

Congrats G-mom, that's so exciting!! I hope you decide to post a few pictures!

Seshena36, a friend of mine that weighed about 15 pounds less than me, our height was about the same (5'8"), but our body types are different. She carried more of her weight in her hips and thighs, and because of that wore a large size pants.

Yeah...well...okay....I guess I suffer from "big a** syndrome" then....

LOL

I'll just keep pluggin along until I can post a thread like G-mom *grin*...congrats again on the new clothes and stuff!!

Re: New clothes-size smaller than expected!

It is strange how weight can be the same, but body shape and fitting into the same size can vary. That is why I am wondering if the manufacturers are making clothes bigger to placate our need to fit into smaller sizes. I do really feel better because I have that size in my closet, however, I have a size sixteen suit with a jacket and fitted skirt that won't even come close to fitting me right now (I bought it way back in the early 90's).

Whatever it is, I still feel better!

And that is awesome...you should feel better...I can only imagine the elation you felt at trying on smaller sized clothing and having it fit.....definately a boost to ones ego (for lack of a better word).
