I tried on a pair of jeans that used to fit (before my weight gain...) and I can't even get them higher than my thighs I never realised how big I am and how much weight I have put on in the last 2 years reality check big time!!!
On the bright side I have been on the 12 week program for the last 3 going on 4 weeks and have managed to loose 3kg. I went for a walk/run this morning so lots of positive changes.
But putting on or rather not being able to fit into those jeans was a big shock. I took a picture and will take a picture again in a month to see how much closer to actually closing the zipper I get each month. Small steps.

This has been my wake up call exactly! I have never weighed as much in my whole life, not even when pregnant. I knew my clothes were tight etc but getting summer clothes out has really made me realise how much has crept on. Just started this week. Good luck to you
Well done and good luck with your weight loss journey.
I have a pair of dark brown corduroy pants for over 5 year that have never fitted me, even when I bought them. I got them because I loved them, they're slim legged, which ironically do have, and a lime green stitch detail around the hems. I'm aiming to fit into those by the end of the year. Small steps indeed.
I managed to squeeze back into my size 14 jeans after losing my first 6lb. I seemed to lose weight in that area first, which was a really pleasant surprise. They're still too tight for my liking but I think things like jeans are a good way to see that change. Ultimately I want to get back to size 12 though. Can you get yourself another pair the next size up to wear until you fit into your old pair?
I love those jeans and I inherited them from my sister. They are a size 11 and im currently between 14 and 16 so still a way to go. Had the most aweful week of bad eating heres to better eating tomorrow. The scales are not going to be kind tomorrow but thats life.
I think it would still be good to have another pair that you can love yourself in, until you get there. Maybe get a size 12-14 intermediate pair to aim for first?
