I've bought myself some Levis!

So not food for a change! They'll need to be taken up (the turn up look just isn't for me!) but these are really comfortable - they have a little stretch in them! They are some Levi 312's - shaping "slimming" style.

I haven't owned a pair of jeans since very wide flare were in fashion (about 35 years ago!)

Looking good Pineapple27 what an achievement. I have a pair of size 14 jeans that I used to wear when my children were small. I have kept them as I want to fit into them again, I may never wear them to go anywhere I just want to fit into them.

I have kept the huge baggy black ones taken in that first picture. Summer of 2012 and they were a size 24 (elasticated waist). The new jeans are a size 16.

That's fantastic. I should have kept some of my biggest ever clothes it's a good reminder.

I wanted to take one of those pictures where I fit into one leg of the trousers! I am sure that is the case - just need to take the picture!

You look great, Pineapple27 . Going to have a boogie soon?

WTG Pineapple27 You look fab👍😊. What a lovely transformation and you look so much younger. As a teenager of the 70s I love my flares and bootcuts but look forward to wearing straight leg/jeggings once at target.👍😊😊

I'd hate it as I'd try and get the widest flare, but because I have jeans taken up so much, I'd often be left with only about two thirds of the width!

You'll be there soon enough! I have managed to maintain more or less for about a year now. Ideally I would like to lose one more stone....

Wahoo that’s brilliant Pineapple! Well done you! I’m in desperate need of some new jeans, the only ones I’ve felt comfortable in for a while were my maternity jeans and now they’ve not got rips in. I’m trying to wear and rip them more in the hope that they get enough to look fashionable, but I fear they may just rip right around I’ll be left with hot pants 😳 xx

Pineapple27 in reply to kittykat1603

kittykat1603 I'm a bit too old for the ripped look :) - you may be able to snap up a bargain in the Black Friday deals? These were Levi 312's (Shaping Slim is what the description says...) I got them as someone on another weight loss forum recommended them and said how comfy they were - and she's recently bought another pair in a different colour. It's let to a whole spate of people on the forum rushing off to buy them, so we've joked that we could start our own "312 club"!

Wow you have done brilliant, congratulations with this. So proud of you with how well you have done.

I remember the moment I got back to a size where I could wear my old size 14 jeans, it was such an amazing feeling. I wore them every day for a week straight! I'm not sure if this helps, as they don't sell Levis, but Uniqlo do free alterations on length. But enjoy your new 312s - they look ace! :)

wow they look great and so do you Pineapple27 what a difference :) Well done. I think it must be 35yrs since I last had levis too maybe I will catch you up soon!

Wow! How much have you lost? They, and you, look fantastic.

I lost 4.5 stone (took 2.5 years). Then put on about 1.5 stone over the course of 2015... then lost it before the start of the year and have more or less maintained since with little blips here and there (holidays)!

So started 14 stone and size 24.... (I am just 4ft 9" - so that was HUGE!) and now hovering around 10 stone and size 16. Happy here, but would ideally love to get to 9 stone and maintain around that level.

in reply to Pineapple27

I was also fascinated to see your weight chart. Obviously, I can see the ups and downs, as you must have done when it happened, yet you just kept on! I’ve been calorie cou ting for 9 weeks now but my chart is, so far, not very rewarding. I was getting a little discouraged but seeing your progress has perked me up again. Thanks!

Pineapple27 in reply to

It is useful to get used to the idea early on in your journey that there will be bumps along the way. The first gain is hard to deal with... but there will be holidays, occasions, "blips".... and we have to understand that it's all part of life! As long as we are able to pick ourselves up and get straight back on track, it will happen. Never as quickly as we want to, but that has to be accepted too. :D

A good thing for me to find out early on, thank you.
