I guess I have to just keep an eye on progress...not what I used to be. I agree with the sizes being bigger. I actually have a pair of 6's that fit but they are "relaxed" They have relaxed them alot!!!hehe I have some regular jeans size 8 that don't even go over my hips. According to that site I had a BMI of 26 and 25 was good...I don't know how that could be so different. What is BMI again...??Your metabolic rate?
