I've been saying for the longest time that I should buy a size 10 pair of Levi's (I now wear a 12) to use as a pant-o-meter.... but then talk myself out of it 'cause I can't even zip them up! What a waste of money, I think. But then I read recently an idea to go to a used clothing store and just buy a really cheap pair! That's pretty smart! I think I'll do that today.... especially since I've put away the scale!

Jan - you should do the same thing and buy a size 16 (NOT "W").... just think how excited you'll be when you can get those zipped up!! Officially out of the "Women's department!!"

Congratulations!! .... and I hope your bo-bo gets better real soon!!
