My ass has not been this small in a loooooong time. Literally.  

Lol- congrats on fitting into your old sizes :) 

These are technically new...I bought them about a month ago when my 20's were getting loose.......I could button them a month ago, but they are loose enough now for comfortable daily wear (translation: I dont have to hold my breath to button them, I can sit down in them, and they dont cut off my circulation) 

Awesome! It's so fun when you need smaller sizes, isn't it? I'm down into 18's now, too, almost to the 16's depending on the cut. I wanted to wear black jeans today so I grabbed a pair from my jeans shelf which are unfortunately 20's. I put on a belt and it didn't have enough holes in it so I'm just wearing it on the tightest hole (I just bought it at Old Navy 2 months ago!). And the jeans are too long so I'm stepping on the hem all day. I feel like a kid wearing their dad's jeans. But it's a good problem to have today, I guess. I need to go buy some more cheaper jeans at Walmart as I'm getting smaller. Some of the Lee Riders styles are OK and not too cheap looking. I've also had good luck finding some good looking ones at Ross or Marshall's for under $15. 

I swear when I reach my goal I'm going to go out and buy some really expen$ive jeans in a hip store just because I can. 

Congrats on getting into those smaller sizes!!! That is one awesome feeling!!! I just got into the 18's myself. I did have to go to wal mart to get 2 new pair, because the one pair I had, I had to cut them off because of a big rip. Looking forward to getting into some of those smaller shirts I still have. I'm so glad I kept them!! As for the bigger stuff, it's going out!!!  

Yea, I'm not spending alot for a long while...I will make do with thift shop and Walmart jeans..just enough to get me to the next size.. I figure since I do a ton of laundry every day anyway, I can buy 2 pairs of blue jeans and one pair of dress pants and just launder a pair every day. I can still tighten the drawstring on a pair of sweats more if need be, and I have a pair of yoga pants and a pair of capri workout pants I can hike up if I have to (or roll down the tops to keep them on) and one pair of size 18 shorts. That will have to last me until size 16, then I will have to do it all over again. Normally,I would be upset at having to buy new pants every 2 months, but at least these are getting smaller! 

At least at thift shops or Goodwill, I will only pay $5-$6 for a pair of jeans/pants. I HATE the thought of having to spend $100+ bucks every 2-3 months to have clothes that fit!!! 

I just thought of a new business idea for us: a convention for weight losers where we have a huge clothing swap. You bring all your "too big" clothes of any size, and the number of clothes you bring in is the number of "new" clothes in a smaller size you get to take home with you. All we have to do is rent a convention hall or hotel banquet room and charge people $50 or $100 a head to get in. 

LOL..great idea!
