YAHOOOO! ON Thursday, I was wearing a pair of size 16 pants - stretch moleskin that I had bought in mid Jan. as an incentive. As I am 'babying" my hand from the recent carpal tunnel surgery (the 10th) I had been wearing elastic waists for the most part - hurt to do zippers. Well, went to the ladies and just pulled and these zipped up 16s went right down!!! I was amazed!!!! So after the doctor took out my stitches - I went malling - and found I could wear and zip a 14W pants!!! Not possible for quite a few years! (Not happy with the bulges that still appear to my eyes - but still a big (nope make that smaller....LOL ) difference!!!! I didn't buy any new pants though --- planning to 'shrink' out of that size by LCing!!!
