Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 I have another brag. I bought this pair of jeans back in october to wear with my cowboy boots (i help out on a farm when I can and they let me ride horse), and I haven't been able to put them on since November! Well.......I put them on today. They are still a little bit tight, but I can breathe and I didn't have to lay down to button them!!!! AND - I am usually the last person that can notice that I am losing weight, but I can see the difference now. It isn't that much, after all, but I can see where the 11 pounds has come off!!!! Yay.

And I got a good " trip down memory lane " reading your post. Don't know if any of you are around my age (36) but I distinctly remember in the early 80s when the Gloria Vanderbuilt and Jordache jeans first came out it was the " in thing " to wear them so tight you HAD to lie down on the bed to get them buttoned! Yep we were " cool " (and so uncomfortable <VBG>) Colleen, who had a spectacular weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
