Now, I'm 197 and wearing size 14's and they're getting loose. I don't know what I'll do. I don't have a size 12 anything and haven't for at least 15 years!! I'm thinking about going to thrift stores and consignment shops to get a cheap size 12 goal collection. I went from size 18 at the end of 2008 to a loose 14 in less than 3 months. It's getting costly!! and I LOVE it!!

It's funny you say that, I've been going to the thrift store once a month buying my next size down. And i was 18, and thought hey why not, I got a size 14 pair of pants. Well i just goggled at them last weekend and thought, well may as well try it. AND THEY FREAKIN FIT! I just remember thinking. How the heck are these people in 14's and they weigh more than me, I've never fit in those really. But i agree, your body changes on this diet, and you do fit in clothes you shouldn't at certain weights. I'm drooling over my size 12's...which are LITERALLY from when i was 14!!~!!
