My jeans don't fit!!

I went out to town last night with mates, first time since Christmas. I dug out my finest jean's, tried them on and I couldn't believe it. I could have fitted two of me in them! ! Even with the buttons done up I could slip them off over my hips lol. I've lost two stone since about Feb/ march time. Time for a clothes shop me thinks!

Your here for a good time not a long time.

That's good going! I'm 6'3", 17 stone and a 38 waist. I used to be, when I was a lot younger, 12 stone and a 34 waist. I don't seem to be losing weight even though my gym training and my miles running have been getting better and better. I think I must be overcompensating. Eating more cos I know I'll be running more etc.

I had to buy new jeans at the weekend. My new jeans I bought six months ago are now too big and my favourite jeans have come out of hibernation from 5 years ago now that they fit me again.

I used to be a 32" waist and thought I was a fine and healthy, but crept up to 34" a year ago. This weekend I had to get 30". I think that's the first time since I was about 14!!

Yet, I still look down and see a bit of a belly I need rid of. Does that feeling ever go away?
