www and jeans!

by Mojito Maven on December 17, 2008

It is time again for Weight Watchers Wednesday!! How did everyone do this week??

I was extremely concerned about coming home for the holidays because I was sure I would fail on my eating habits and exercise routine. My mother’s cooking also does not help the situation. She makes the most delicious food so not only is it ridiculously tempting for me, but my mom also gets offended if I turn it down. I warned my mother before I came home that I have started Weight Watchers so I will be preparing my own meals and I would appreciate her support. For the most part my mom has kept up her end of the bargain with only a few snide comments.

Why is it that people feel the need to judge you or offer rude comments when you are trying to be healthier or lose weight? I know several of you have mentioned that you have friends that are not as supportive as you would like. That drives me crazy!!!

Mr. Mojito and I have gone to the gym every day that we have been here, and I have even been able to stay well within my Weight Watchers points. I got on the scale at the gym this morning and it said I had lost another 1.5 pounds!!!! I have my official weigh in tomorrow so hopefully that 1.5 pounds was accurate!

I received several emails about how my jeans shopping went, and I am happy to report that I found a pair of jeans that I love!!!

And it is official…my theory about jeans sizes was confirmed!

I tried on A TON of jeans and all of them fit differently. Here is a breakdown:

Sevens: size 28 for most but a few were a size 29
Hudsons: size 28 and 29
Citizens: size 30
Joe’s Jeans: size 30

It was so annoying constantly having to try on three different sizes of the same jean just to figure out which one would fit! Ultimately I decided on a trouser jean by Seven for All Mankind.

Love those jeans. I have ones just like it! :) Glad you found them and I’m all over the board when it comes to jeans too.

anyways, look at you going to the gym all the time! Congrats, you’re 1.5 is a wonderful number!

2 SassyEngineer 12.17.08 at 6:15 pm

I hope the weigh-in is great! I love those jeans – I think 7 for All Mankind are some of my favorite designer jeans. Super cute!

3 Sarah 12.17.08 at 6:22 pm

I love those jeans!! Too bad I am so freakin tall that sevens don’t fit me :(

4 littlesack 12.17.08 at 6:32 pm

Good for you on the jeans–it’s a total pain in the ass jean shopping. I dread it more than anything. I also understand your mom situation, but good for you for sticking to your guns. My mom always made me feel guilty too- “but I made your favorite cookies, just for you.”

Wish I knew why people weren’t that supportive. but-stick to it, girl!

VERY cute jeans … Sevens are soo comfy!

6 Good Gals Inc 12.17.08 at 6:39 pm

Such cute jeans! Congrats on trying them on though, I never even get to that step!

I wanted to let you know that I tagged you and gave you an award in my last post. Hope ya’ll are staying warm!

7 Mandy Rose 12.17.08 at 6:45 pm

I love the jeans! Good choice! I can just see you wearing them with your brand new UGGS! :)

Congrats on staying on the weight loss train!!

8 Cali Girl 12.17.08 at 6:54 pm

so happy you found a pair of jeans… i know its not easy to do… well, unless you are cute like you! i hate jean shopping so much!

Major congrats on continuing to shed! I think the snide comments are from a place of jealousy. Regardless of what they think of themselves, if they aren’t actively doing something positive with their life, or are trying and failing, they are jealous of you as you succeed. hence the comments.. or at least thats how I’ve always seen it.

10 Abbie 12.17.08 at 7:11 pm

Congrats! After three weeks of slowly putting a 1.8 back on (Thanksgiving, holiday parties, etc.) I lost 2.2 this week! I am buying a new pair of jeans on Friday when I get to Dallas! That was the only thing I told my step-mom that I had on my must-do list!! I am going to make time for my WW post tonight when I finish packing.

11 All-American Preppy 12.17.08 at 7:54 pm

Sevens are by far my favorite brand of jeans–they are so comfy and flattering. I love the Dojo style you got, they are definitely the next pair I want.

12 Krystyn 12.17.08 at 8:02 pm

Congrats that you are still loosing weight while on vacation! That rocks!

Tell me your secrets!

13 Blue-Eyed Bride 12.17.08 at 8:22 pm

Yay for losing even more weight! I love that pair of sevens. I have the same pair but had to have them hemmed. Todd’s grandmother used to make the meanest comments about me being on weight watchers. Ugh!

14 Patrice 12.17.08 at 9:04 pm

I am crazy jealous of your jeans and not to mention your jean size… that’s awesome! I am still wishing I could fit into designer jeans… maybe someday! Congrats on losing weight- still crazy jealous!

15 Becky 12.17.08 at 9:10 pm

I love the jeans you chose! I tried on some sevens this past weekend and they didn’t fit. I don’t think they are made for girls with big booties :( Then my husband was like “why don’t you try some Apple Bottoms, aren’t those made for girls with big butts?” to which I said “shut up honey!” I think he’s been listening to too much rap music or something…..blah…..

16 Preppy in Beantown 12.17.08 at 9:20 pm

Congrats on the loss and I LOVE those jeans… I’m jealous that you’re a 28. Skinny-mini!

17 Pink Preppy Party Girl 12.17.08 at 9:58 pm

I just love this post. Congrats on the weight loss. I am there with you starting Jan. I think next week you deserve a Tequila Tuesday before your WWW or maybe we should make that Thursday after weigh in.

18 Lis 12.17.08 at 10:23 pm

I just got those 7’s too!! I just love them! Having great jeans really is a wonderful thing! I’m glad you found some you like and congrats on your weight loss – you are awesome!

19 morewineplease 12.17.08 at 10:24 pm

Good for you! This time of year is not easy.

Jeans – all pants need to be universal sizing.
I have those jeans and love them~

20 NINA 12.18.08 at 12:08 am

So funny… my most recent denim purchase was for the exact same pair!! Congrats on the weight report too… You’re a Rockstar!!! xoxo

21 Mary Michal 12.18.08 at 8:36 am

Cute jeans! Congrats on sticking to weight watchers while you’re home for the holidays. That is such a big accomplishment.

22 FROGGITY! 12.18.08 at 9:51 am

Good choice, and good going on your loss!!!

23 The Shabby Princess 12.18.08 at 10:02 am

Those jeans are super cute. Way to go on staying on track while at home–and, not just staying on track, but, still losing weight! Way to go!!

24 Shorty 12.18.08 at 10:11 am

Hang in there with the snide comments…my mom is the same way towards me when I ask her not to feed my son too much junk food. I think our moms sometimes feel that they show us love by feeding us…even if it’s not the healthiest stuff. You’re doing an awesome job and hopefully some of your health-consciousness will rub off on your family members. Glad you found some great jeans!!!

25 Sweet Simplicity 12.18.08 at 11:03 am

I love trouser jeans! very cute!

26 Bama Belle... 12.18.08 at 11:55 am

Love the jeans! And I agree with Nina, you are a ROCKSTAR for losing all that weight! Hugs!

27 Kimba 12.18.08 at 12:01 pm

Congrats to you for staying on track, it is never easy when you’re around people who don’t see you daily while dieting and also this time of year is hard!

Love the jeans, trouser is so classic and fun!

28 LyndsAU 12.18.08 at 12:38 pm

You go girl for sticking with WW during such a tough time!! :) So proud of you MM!
That’s awesome about 1.5 lbs. Yippee!
I bought a pair of Seven for all mankind jeans that I am getting for Christmas from mom and dad and I tried on different styles and they all fit different. crazy huh! oh well. as long as we are comfy right?
love and hugs!

29 Piper Jacquelyn 12.18.08 at 12:50 pm

I too have noticed the little catty bits from people when I’m trying to lose weight. Oh well! You’re doing it for you, so that’s all that matters. Oh, and I have those exact jeans and love them because they are so universally flattering!

30 Pink Pearls & Muddy Sneakers 12.18.08 at 1:41 pm

Ohhh I am so happy for you! The gym, the weight loss, the jeans… I hope you feel really proud of yourself, because NONE of that is easy during the holidays! So fun!

31 Lindsey 12.18.08 at 2:01 pm

The jeans are fabulous and congrats on another 1.5lbs!!

32 Rachel 12.18.08 at 2:52 pm

Congratulations on the continued success of your diet and exercise!!! That is awesome – it is so hard to keep up when you’re out of your “routine” and on vacation.

The jeans are super cute! I know what you mean about the sizing. I have 2 pairs that are the same brand, same style, just different washes – and one is loose on me while the other is tight. Nice, huh? Oh well, nothing that is touched by human hands is ever perfect or exactly the same.

And LOL about your Uggs!!!! Is it okay if I tease you a little bit?? I know they must be comfy and warm, but they’re like slipper-boots!!! But I’m glad they made you happy!

33 Emily 12.18.08 at 4:09 pm

yipeee for you:)
Way to stick to your diet during the holidays.. you got the drive and detemination!!
Those jeans are soo cute! I love them!

34 Brown Eyed Girl 12.18.08 at 4:17 pm

How exciting! Losing any weight around the holidays is HUGE! Love the jeans, hate trying them on. All the designer jeans are so mis-sized. I have so many pairs that are no where near the size of each other, even if it’s the same brand! Ridiculous. Very cute though and I’m sure you look fantastic in them.

35 Not Your Average Belle 12.18.08 at 4:46 pm

Love the jeans! Looks like all the searching paid off!
My fiance decided to encourage me this morning by telling me that I look like I’ve “lost some fat.” Gee, thanks.

36 Prepster 12.18.08 at 5:18 pm

I don’t know if you are interested or not, but I just purchased a great pair of Hudson Jeans on ebay and they don’t fit. They are a 28, brand new with the tags on I paid $35. I was going to re-list them, but if you’re thinking you want another pair I’ll be happy to send you a photo. I love them b/c they sit a little higher on the hips than a lot of jeans, so you’ll never have a muffin top!

37 Tasha 12.19.08 at 12:20 pm

Great choice on the jeans! I really like the style you picked! You’re my hero for losing weight during the Christmas season!
