I recently purchased new pants when my size 20's were too big for me. I ended up with 2 pairs of 18 and a 16, all of which are getting baggy already and I could easily wear two pairs in a smaller size. I have bought all of my pants at Old Navy because their clothes are inexpensive, cute, and they have larger sizes.

When I went to my parents last month, I found my favorite pair of size 20 jeans that I'd lost. I put them on, expecting them to fall of. Low and behold -- they fit! They don't fit well but they don't feel a lot looser than the last time I wore them. Granted, last time I wore them was probably before my biggest influx of weight, but I just find it kind of entertaining... I have magic pants! Now if only the number on the tag would change.

How funny, I love when your pants stop fitting right!! at least when they are going up in size! I was running up the stairs the other day and hubby was chasing me.. he grabbed my 16's and pulled them down... they were so loose... gotta love that!

ok, i need some help... im also a size 16 but, mine arent fitting any differently and ive lost 14.5 lbs!!!! i now weigh 169.5 lbs --- i guess im carrying my weight around my hips!!

(i wish i had MAGIC PANTS!!)

Do these magic pants happen to be of a stretchy material? I only ask because I have a pair of jeans, size 14 that have some stretch and let me tell you, currently at a size 10, I would love to be upset that they still fit, but I know it's because of the material. Good luck to you. Congrats on your loss so far.

I'm down to my LAST pair of jeans that fit...because they're all too big! Isn't that a great problem to have? Isn't it usually the other way around? I've gone from a TIGHT 24...to my SKINNY 20s falling off of me! 18, Here I COME!!!!
May 14th will be 3 months on Phen..and so far I've lost 42 pounds. It's crazy...it took almost 30 pounds for people to start noticing, and now like every 3 or 4 pounds people are like, "GIRL, you're getting SO THIN!"

Not very stretchy. They're denim. By the end of yesterday they were seeming a little baggier though. Oh darn... I really liked those pants! I thought they were magic and were just conforming to me.

Rant some -- it can take awhile to notice in your clothes! I carry a lot of my weight around my midsection. My bras were fitting bigger before my pants. The first time I was on a weight loss plan, I lost 20 pounds and barely noticed in my clothes. I became very frustrated and gave up. I really regretted that because I gained the weight back and have had to lose it all over again. Just be patient -- you'll begin to notice!

I agree -I have the in between sizes stage. When I started phen 9 weeks ago, I was wearing an 18. I have lost 3 pant sizes. I can fit into a 14 and some 12's. I have not been shopping for any New clothes. I still wear my 18's. It's a shame (LOL). Want to wait till I reach my goal. My work trousers are falling down and at times it has become embarrasing but I deal with it. I put my belt on every day (LOL).
