Literally. . .<br />
<br />
If you want to get into my pants keep reading.<br />
<br />
You know Jenn (<a href="http://exhotgirl.blogspot.com/">ExHotGirl</a>) right? Who doesn't!?<br />
<br />
Well, besides her personal <a href="http://exhotgirl.blogspot.com/">weight-loss blog</a>, <a href="http://jbephotography.blogspot.com/">her photography blog</a>, and <a href="http://tantrumsofthemind.blogspot.com/">her dream journal blog</a>, Jenn also runs an awesome blog called <a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/">The Bloggerhood of the Traveling Not So Fat Pants</a>.<br />
<br />
The premise of the site is pretty simple. . . a pair of pants starts with one reader/blogger until she (he?) has lost enough weight to drop to the next size. From there, the jeans she has outgrown are auctioned off to others fighting the good (weight-loss) fight.<br />
<br />
In March, I won the opportunity to receive a pair of jeans and a pair of shorts from the amazing Josie at <a href="http://www.35andshrinking.com/">35 and Shrinking</a>. (Check her blog out, she is amazing!)<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, by the time I received the size 24W jeans in the mail, I had already outgrown them.<br />
<br />
This is where you come in. The 2 pairs of jeans are sitting, unworn in my house and are just itching to strut their stuff. (Especially the capri's - it's summer people!)<br />

Would you like to be a part of this awesome chain?<br />
<br />
I look forward to passing along my pants!<br />

(Original post can be found <a href="http://next30yrs.blogspot.com/2010/03/muffin-top.html">here at Lorie's Blog</a>)<br />
<br />
First of all I apologize for being gone so long. I have been busy but it has been all good. I have lots of good news to share!! I will start with this post and do a follow up post after weigh in tonight. </div><br />
<div>I have been following this<a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/"> blog</a> for a while. It's really interesting. They pass pants around with the idea of the recipient shrinking right out of the pants. I entered when I saw a post that this <a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/">girl</a> was ready to pass on her size 18's. I have been wearing pants that require a belt for a while now. I also have been hanging around in the same weight range. I needed a new motivation so I entered. I WON THE PANTS!! The came in the mail Monday and I finally put them on today. I was so excited! They are a little snug but I know I will be out of them soon. </div><br />
<div>I tried to take pictures myself but I just couldn't do it. I made my son take these this morning. He was not to excited about it and acted like I was a weirdo. The picture quality is not that great but again, he's only 12 and he doesn't care. As you can see, I had to stand in front of the TV to get his attention. I am a little self conscious about these pictures but I think it is an important step to reaching my inner skinny and getting back on track again. So here is my muffin top.....don't laugh!! I like to describe my shape as a cylinder with arms and legs. It's very difficult to find pants that fit right. LOL</div><br />

<a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2010/03/good-bye-beloved.html">It is time to say good bye</a> to a good friend. One that has supported me over the last few months. The one that got the WHOLE weight loss thing started for me. Yes, it is time for my beloved size 18's to move on to the next Fatty-Bo- Batty. I did take some parting pictures, with the help of my little assistant.<br />

<br />
And now, as we say good bye, I am happy to say that I have lost 28 pounds! So, I am not too sad to see the jeans go. But, I think that is fitting to give them a nice send off. So, I decided to put together a little summary of my time with the jeans. So, Good Bye Jeans! And Good Luck Lori! I hope you have as much fun with them as I did!<br />

<i>Dear fellow <a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/">bloggerhood</a> jeans,</i><br />

The time has come for me to say good bye to my fatty. It is hard to believe that is has been two months since I arrived, but fatty says its time, and well she might be CRAZY, but she doesn't lie! Since it is time for me to move on to my next adventure in fatty land, I thought I would take this time to reminisce. <a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2009/12/fatty-bo-batty-in-them-jeans.html">I arrived to a super excited fatty</a>! <a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2009/12/fatty-wears-me-to-christmas-party.html">I got to go to a christmas party</a> (<a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2009/12/oopsso-not-16.html">Fatty gets confused</a>. LOL!) <a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2010/01/fatty-has-good-christmas.html">I survived a blizzard</a>, <a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2010/01/hateful-scale-part-2.html">and fatty loses a "butt load" of weight</a>!<br />
<br />
The long and short of it is: It all started at the fourth grade Christmas party, and it all ended at the PTO school carnival. Seems fitting that fatty would chose to wear me for the last time to the school carnival. There was a little change however. About 24 pounds worth of change that is. Apparently my fatty was serious about this whole weight loss thing. I am proud to say that she has stuck to her guns, and worked her butt off.... literally! She even has one pair of jeans living here that are sooo baggy, she could fit another butt in it with her. <br />
<br />
So, now come the pictures:<br />

<br />
Have you ever felt the need to put your arms out to your side, turn in circles and yell WEEEEE!!! Ok, recently? Today, I wanted to SOOOO bad! Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I decided to weigh in at the gym, just to see if my scale at home was off. And, BOY was it EVER! It had me well over 330. It was at that time that I waged a war with the ding dong scale. I swore I would never touch it again, if it was going to be so hateful. But, alas I could not stay away from it. I kept weighing in under 230 at home, and over that at the gym. Instead of being discouraged, I just took a step back, and started going with the scale at home. (I mean please, it had a better weight, who wants to deal with reality)<br />
<br />
<div>It has been about 3 or 4 week since I got on the scale at the gym. But, then it has been about 3 weeks since I have been at the gym consistently. I have had frigid cold temps, and sick kids, and no time to go the gym. So, today when I moseyed on into the lovely gym to do my work out, I thought I would tackle the dumb scale today. I'm not scared! So, on my way out, I put my stuff down, hopped on the scale.... and.....I almost passed out AGAIN! Only this time, I am proud to announce, the scale happened to be at 216.5!!!!!!! I skipped the 220's! If I could have done cartwheels with out seriously hurting myself (because when you are 30 or over, you just should not do them anymore) I so would have!<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am so excited!!!!<br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>As for the<a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/"> </a>jeans (you know, the fabulous size 18's that <a href="http://didijusteatthatoutloud.blogspot.com/">MrsFatAss</a> sent me from the <a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/">bloggerhood</a>) that I like to strut around in, well they are still doing good! However, I can still wear them, and they are NOT falling off yet, which bums me out. I really would like to be in a smaller size once I send them on in a month. (can you believe that it has been a month already?) <br />
</div><div>But, I cannot be to upset, 19.5 pounds in a month.... not to shabby!<br />

It is unheard of I know for a fatty to loose weight during the holiday season, but mine did!<br />Ok, so lets back up a bit, and I will tell you the adventures that I have been on in the last two weeks. After our trip to the 4th grade Christmas party, fatty had a much needed vacation at home with her two adorable little non-fatty kids. They had Christmas cheer at Church, where fatty wore me to dinner. And her little Christian buns owned that sanctuary! And yes, she showed it to her friends. (Please note tho, I might say she "owned it" but she did not strut or flaunt, because that is not like MY fatty, she is way to proper for that.) The week leading up to Christmas consisted of shopping for the little non -fattys with her fabulous "other half of we" a trip to her favorite Mexican Restaurant, PMS (which, despite a few much needed, get out of my way or I will hurt you trips to Sonic Happy Hour for a large Cherry Coke, was very uneventful as far as the high caloric, high fructose corn syrup cravings are concerned) and a trip in a blizzard to Kansas City,Missouri with the whole fatty clan. That was fun! She wore me out to a fun dinner with her clan for Christmas dinner, in a blizzard in which she walked for three blocks to a restaurant that was supposed to be open<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ20rhCngSCwQX1dXpvAnGKrIl2PbNbk7GGHi3DKew0n2hESBzpRvUvyG211CuD9ASGsdm-qsJZ3uecF-cXdG1CN1MDPhxq4mry9A_Vx3Tt3Er1y5IoZm0MDoHEUafTyPuBrprxaqkhRw/s1600-h/100_4790.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ20rhCngSCwQX1dXpvAnGKrIl2PbNbk7GGHi3DKew0n2hESBzpRvUvyG211CuD9ASGsdm-qsJZ3uecF-cXdG1CN1MDPhxq4mry9A_Vx3Tt3Er1y5IoZm0MDoHEUafTyPuBrprxaqkhRw/s200/100_4790.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421865280878655282" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" /></a></div>but due to weather was not, and then back another two blocks to the place that she ended up eating (but only because it was the ONLY place crazy enough to be open).

Where did my FBB take me you ask? Out for a Sonic Happy Hour drink? Out to eat? Out for ice cream? Out to shop? Nope.... she took me to a fourth grade Christmas party. At first I was appalled. Why would I, fabulous jeans, you know, the ones that make her buns look squeezable and AWESOME want to go to a fourth grade party? I mean come on! Fourth graders have not had two kids. They could care less that I have to squeeze some full figured 5'10" 220 something pound FBB into my outstanding material. But, oh well.<br /><br />I walked her fabulous buns into that class room, and followed every move she made. And, to top it all off, she did not even enjoy the buffet of high fructose corn syrup. (well, maybe just one little cookie). She did not drink a soda today, or eat wee little donuts. No sweet tea, chocolate candy, suckers, potato chips, dips or anything. I tell you what fellow bloggerhood jeans, my FBB kicked some major high fructose corn syrup butt today! I felt honored to make her buns look good!</div><div>Well, it is time for her to take me off now....she needs to put on her sweat pants and big baggy shirt, because she can't breath!

I'm super excited about her journey over the next two months, and I wish her a ton of luck in getting too skinny for the sixteens, baby!<br /><br />Here's her blog post about the package. :)<br /><br />~Jenn<br /><br />----------------------------<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><div><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbsA6y85fpR2yHgTSAA6_j3BybF8NLq4BVvVYrMaL0B1S8gdZkP0cV4ilz8laa0WquJ66TjWQ5u1pvz5Dce4mPML30Sbppo6Djzucv4L2vW5D0kTctHZK-qCEq7Ad_M44enzjbkl63zSA/s200/100_4598.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416425825452012626" border="0" />They are here!! Said jeans appeared in my mailbox on Monday, and it was so fun! I felt like a little kid seeing that package. I hurried inside and opened my package from Sue. She is so sweet! She put fun confetti in the package, and some candy canes (which if you saw the video, you know I don't have to feel bad for eating them).

My great idea to get a second degree has been a major distraction now that the semester is coming to a close. Off the bat let me say, I’m a little embarrassed that I set my goal SO high and will definitely not be reaching it. Two pant sizes in two months is a LOFTY goal and I encourage any future pantsers to set their sights a little bit smaller. One size in two months is nothing to scoff at, and if you surpass it you will only be that much more excited. That’s a very small part of the reason I haven’t checked in lately (the much bigger part has to do with a 45-page paper, a 36-page paper, a 28-page paper, a couple of articles, lots of editing, two book transcriptions, not to mention quizzes and tests, all due in the last week).<br /><br />Here’s the thing, though. I’m not getting so discouraged I’m quitting, and that alone is awesome for me. My results haven’t been what I hoped for, and I’ve had way more distractions and set-backs then I ever thought possible, and I’ve had to question my commitment and face the “What is wrong with me?” blues on more than one occasion, BUT I’m still plugging away. I’ve found a new trail near my house that my boyfriend and I have been riding our bikes on three days per week for at least an hour a day (my ass has not been very appreciative of this new hobby, or it would probably be more), and I’ve incorporated lifting weights into my game, along with some at-home cardio whenever I can fit it in. I’m trying really hard to not worry about the scale until my actual birthday, because a really badly-timed rough patch in there screwed me up, and looking at the scale reminds of that in a not-so-good kind of way. So I’ve just been focusing on how I feel instead, and that’s keeping me going. Today I feel great. Today I feel empowered. Today I feel really happy that I'm finally posting an update.<br /><br />I figure I could get upset with myself for not making it, or I can be happy I tried, and be ecstatic that I've made some mental progress. And, I figure, with the semester almost out of the way, I can kick some major butt these last 10 days and see where I end up. Because that's so much classier than giving up. Right?<br /><br />So at least I can say I’ll be finishing my journey in style. Srsly, working out like a rock star. And loving it.<br /><br />Frannie - of <a href="http://finding-frannie.blogspot.com/2009/12/quick-update-for-pantsers.html">Finding Frannie</a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16891953417589291501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565405499261129596.post-54077196083967324352009-12-02T13:47:00.000-08:002009-12-03T22:36:58.368-08:00The Mission of the Pants Continues...Super awesome thanks to Sue over at <a href="http://didijusteatthatoutloud.blogspot.com/2009/12/mission-continues.html">Did I Just Eat That Outloud</a> (Umm, you should all know her as my deluxe partner in crime, and super hot legged lass by now) - for this vid.<br /><br />MMM at <a href="http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/2009/11/18s-are-coming-18s-are-coming.html">A New Road 4 Me</a> is getting the 18's!

Here's her update for the Bloggerhood:<br /><br /><br /><br />Needless to say, after spending time in the desert (where food is limited, and alcohol is abundant... and this girl who doesn't normally drink may have imbibed a few), and then dealing with stress... I have been doing terrible since my last update. I've only lost another 1/4" in my middle, which is pretty far off plan (it's been almost two weeks, and I wanted to lose just over an inch a week). To be honest, I'm pretty shocked to see that much progress and can't help but wonder if I measured wrong, THAT's how terrible I've been doing. But, to date: Need to lose 12" in my waist by Dec. 15 (for the pants to fit comfortably, but I'll say it again, I'm happy with a muffin top), and I've lost about 2". Ouch. That hurts to write.<br /><br />I have a question, for anyone who is "in the know" on jean measurements. When the jeans say, "Waist, 33.5 inches," where on the body is that waist? I know it's not the natural waist, since that's way above where the pants fall. I had been measuring the belly button because that made sense to me. But I just tried the pants on again and they fall around the area of "The Dreaded Pooch" so... am I supposed to be measuring my pooch? This is a serious question, one for which I haven't a clue, so any help is appreciated!<br /><br />I was going to do a photo for you today, since today marks my midway anniversary, but I haven't made it out to do so yet. However, I have a mini-trip I think I'm going to be taking in the next few days (assuming construction hasn't cleared the hiking trail I have in mind), in which case I'll be doing some semi-nekkedness in the wildnerness for the sake of Bloggerhood photos (of course, I'll have pants on in the photos... the semi-nekkedness comes during the changing process, silly reader). Awesome. Either way, you'll be getting something in the way of photos during the next week, promise! Halfway means we're in the home stretch, which means I need to drag my ass back on the wagon, which means I'll be doing lots more updates than I have been so as to hold my self accountable. If you randomly feel like coming to my blog and yelling some motivational threats, I won't be offended.<br /><br />~FrannieJennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16891953417589291501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565405499261129596.post-13568540689985492652009-11-09T18:47:00.000-08:002010-02-17T11:36:38.485-08:00Elise has got the Lee's!I wanted to update y'all with the pants status!

Here's a short blurb Elise did on her blog, and I hope to update you guys with her progress soon!<br />
<br />
Hey All,<br />
<br />
I apologize for the delay in the pants blog. I have had them for about two weeks, but life fell apart and I needed to take some time to regroup (you can read about what went down at my other teenage angst blog www.heresatoast.blogspot.com ). And then my laptop blew up. It sparked, flashed black and then started death screaming. I was able to save my hard drive, but the rest of it is caput. I feel like I am missing a part of myself haha. Okay so I made a cool snazy video of my opening the package (It was a super cute envelope! Christy is awesome!)but it was sadly stored on my laptop. Hopefully I will get some better pictures and perhaps another video up soon. <br />
<br />
Okay so the pants:<br />
<br />
THEY ARE AWESOME! I am going to buy several pairs like them once I reach my goal size. They are currently hanging on my wall, so I can look at them all the time. I haven't weighed myself since my last blog, or taken new measurements. I plan on doing that tomorrow, but I need to get something up on this blog so I could stop feeling guilty! Okay pictures tomorrow!<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
I also see that we have a tie for the next size to go out. It is between 18's and 10's. I'm going to go ahead and break the tie with a vote for the 18's! I'll be getting in touch with someone from my 18's list, so keep your eyes peeled for our next giveaway!<br />
<br />
The only thing you have to do to get involved is enter the give-away for your size jeans. Make sure you agree to all the terms (listen on the left column of this blog), and you're in! You can also e-mail me at jennybeanjcb at msn dot com if you have a pair of jeans you'd like to donate to the cause. :)<br />

(You can vote in the poll on the right side of the blog.)<br /><br />So!<br /><br />I received an update from Frannie about the size 16's today! :) Be sure to <a href="http://finding-frannie.blogspot.com/">visit her blog</a> for all her other wonderful posts. Also, I goofed a tiny bit and forgot to send some info to Christy in Seattle about where to send the 12's, so those should be on their way shortly!<br /><br />Here's Frannie's update:<br /><blockquote><br />The pants. Yes, <em>the pants</em>. They hang in my closet, peering out at me every day. I don't expect to see much of a difference in the fit until at least my midway point (Nov. 15), but in our first week together, I've tried them on twice, just as a reminder.<br /><br />To refresh your memory or fill in those who may be new, I'm an official recipient of jeans from the Bloggerhood of the Not So Fat Pants, which celebrates the joy of growing out of a jean size. After all, the jeans don't lie. Click the blue button near the top right of my page for more info. At the start I was wearing a size 20, and my goal is to fit into these 16s by my birthday, Dec. 15, which gave me exactly two months. I had 12 inches to lose in my waist, and 4 to lose in my hips to see it come true.<br /><br />I did another set of measurements today to see where I'm at, and I'm progressing quite well. I need to lose just over an inch in my waist each week (on average) to make this goal a reality, and that's just what I did this week. I'm pretty proud of that, and with a little luck and motivation I'm thinking I should be able to maintain that momentum through to the end. Constant vigilance! (Thank you, Ms. Rowling)<br /><br />My boyfriend gave me a great jeans-related comment last night. While not <em>the pants, </em>I was wearing some jeans while we were in the kitchen making dinner when, out of nowhere, he says, all serious-like, "Baby, your butt looks good in these." I laughed at him because it was so random, so he explained what I already knew: When I'm heavier I get what I like to call "pancake ass." But when I lose weight, the shape of my booty starts to come back. Ladies and gentlemen, apparently the booty is coming back.<br /><br />Because being a Pantser is such a huge motivator, I definitely plan on sending some of my own pants out into the world once I'm finished with them.<br /><br />~Frannie<br /></blockquote>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16891953417589291501noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565405499261129596.post-49168051870881463632009-10-16T10:14:00.000-07:002009-10-16T10:27:40.478-07:00Frannie's got the 16's!Hello every last one of you jean lovin' lovelies!<br /><br />Frannie let me know last night that she has received my beloved size 16 Levi's. I sniffed back a sad tear 'cause the jeans are so damn awesome, and I'm gonna miss them. But then I realized that I WON'T miss them, because I'm not wearing 16's anymore. <span style="font-style: italic;"> (at least that's what my boyfriend keeps reminding me of so I don't wallow in post-awesome-16-jeans-mortem.)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m1/jennybeanjcb/Frannie.jpg" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />And now I bring you a message directly from Frannie:</span><br /><br /><blockquote>I know the idea of the Bloggerhood is to grow OUT of pants since that's such a thrill, but I kind of had something different in mind that I think still captures the spirit. My 29th birthday is in exactly two months, and I would LOVE to be back to a size 16, or close to it, by that time. Wouldn't you know it, the Bloggerhood requires you to keep the pants for only two months, and the pair I received are 16s. Perfect! So, my goal is actually to grow INTO these bad boys. Even if I have a muffin top, I would die with excitement if they buttoned and, y'know, I could sit down and still breathe and all that.<br /><br />This is me, exactly two months before I turn 29, wearing my newly acquired Bloggerhood pants. I didn't attempt to stretch them at all (I wouldn't want to stretch out the waist band, since other people are going to receive these later) so that gap is as big as it gets. I'm just holding the tabs up to give you a good idea.<br /><br /><div>I have to say, I can see how these pants would be super flattering if they fit, so those of you hoping to grow out of this particular pair in the future? Be excited. I'm inspired to buy some of my own when this is all over. I got in a major pants rut for, oh, five years or so now, and the few pants I did buy never really fit me quite right. So yes, sweet bloggerhood, I am excited about these pants!!!<br /></div><br /><div>My camera phone doesn't take the clearest pictures, but I promise you'll see some better, more interesting shots once a better camera is in my hands. Like a week? Can you hold out??<br /></div><br /><div>I hope to see you during my journey over the next two months! </div></blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />So!

Check out her blog entry <a href="http://christyinseattle.blogspot.com/?zx=974ff0509328dde8">HERE </a>to read all about it!<br /><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oqzJ7lnONLk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">From Christy:</span><br /><br />Here's "the skinny" on the jeans:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lee's Slender Secret Stretch Ultra Stretch Jeans<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Size 12M<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Waist: 32 (or a little less)<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hip: 42 (or a little more)<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wash: Medium Blue<br /><br />Since the vast majority of women I know actually <i>have</i> waists, it makes sense to send the more traditionally cut jeans out to the bloggerhood first. I also have a couple of cute (designer) pairs of 14s that I'm hoping to be into and out of again, really quickly.<br /><br />I'm excited to see how this project progresses. I hope that lots of you can get involved involved in it, even if it means buying a pair of cute, discount jeans that you happen to find on sale to send along to a total stranger. You better believe if I find cute, cheap jeans in larger sizes I will be picking them up to send them along. So, if like me, you're larger than a size 12, make sure to check the blog often!<br /><br />I'm San Diego bound early tomorrow, and I may or may not be online. So, I decided that I'd go ahead and put up this post so that when Jenn announces the winner of the size 12 pants, you guys wouldn't think I was flaking on my promise because I'm not around for a couple of days :) Assuming that a winner is chosen by Monday, the pants will be freshly laundered, packaged, and sent on their merry little way!<br /><br />I can't wait to see who gets the jeans. I hope you enjoy wearing them and that this project motivates you to reach all your weight-loss goals.<br /></div><br />~Christy</blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />So!

The response has been kick-ass. Thank you all for your overwhelming support!<br /><br />We've had a lot of people asking about other sizes of jeans besides the 14's. I absolutely love the idea of doing multiple pairs of jeans. In fact, I just grew out of a great pair of 16's I can send to someone RIGHT NOW.<br /><br /><img style="width: 450px; height: 244px;" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m1/jennybeanjcb/Jeans1.jpg" /><br /><br />So, here's the way it's gonna work. I'm going to start today by giving away my size 16 pair of Levi's, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. They're fantastic if you have large bootie and hips, and a slimmer waist. They are made with a stretchy material, so they have support and give. Tell your friends, 'cause there are only three days to enter for these jeans.<br /><br />Jean Info:<br /><br />Levi Curvy Boot Cut 529's<br />Size 16 Medium<br />Dark blue wash<br />33.5" waist<br />44" hips<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">If you have jeans you'd like to give away:</span><br /><br />Please contact me at jennybeanjcb@msn.com.<br /><br />I am currently accepting sizes for:<br /><br />8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30.<br /><br />I will be doing a giveaway for each jean size ONCE A MONTH. This is to spread out the sizes of jeans so we don't have 890328409328 updates in one month, and instead can have a consistent updating of the jeans year round. We will have 12 sizes of jeans for 12 months in the year!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PAY ATTENTION NOW!</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br />Here are the rules. If you enter, you're automatically agreeing to the following guidelines:</span><br /><br /><blockquote>1. When you get the jeans, you agree to post a blog entry AND contact me when you do, with photos of you wearing the jeans, (standing, with the jeans visible. You don't need to show your stomach, but pockets need to show,) preferably in an interesting, cool, or location specific spot in your city.<br /><br />1b. You agree to let me post your blog content pertaining to the jeans in this blog to keep our BOTTNSFP readers up to date. I might not be able to update this blog with every update entry you make, but at my discretion may choose to use your content to keep readers up to date. All recipients of the jeans will be added to the blogroll.<br /><br />1c. You agree to use the button in every entry you post about the jeans and to update us to show folks where the project came from. Here's the button:<br /><br /><center><a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="The Bloggerhood of the Traveling Not So Fat Pants"><img alt="BLOG TITLE" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m1/jennybeanjcb/PantsButtonNewSmaller.jpg" /></a> <center><br /><br /></center><br /><center><textarea id="code-source" rows="3" name="code-source"><center><a href="http://travelingnotsofatpants.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m1/jennybeanjcb/PantsButtonNewSmaller.jpg" /></a></center></textarea></center></center><br /><br />2. Update your blog (or me) weekly with photos and/or your weight loss progress.<br /><br />3. Two months after you receive the jeans, contact me and we'll do a drawing for the next person to get them. Hopefully you will have been able to get progressively too small for the jeans and you'll be ready to send them along to someone new. If not, that's okay! It's fun to send the jeans along, and you might be able to get them back from someone else. If you've lost enough weight to be too thin for the jeans, I encourage you to post a before and after photo of you in the jeans for your own encouragement and to encourage others.<br /><br />4. You agree to launder the jeans before sending them to the next person. (Yes, I know this is assumed, but I gotta put it out there just in case.)<br /><br />5. You agree to shipping costs to send the jeans to the next person. This MAY include shipping to a different country, so if you don't want to be financially responsible for that, please don't enter.<br /><br />6. As a fun way of keeping track of who's had the jeans, sign your initials along the inside panel of the butt with permanent marker. The jeans that come to you should have initials in them already, so you should know where to sign them.<br /><br />7. Once the jeans are so worn out that they're unable to be worn, contact me. The jeans will retire with their original owner. If the original owner does not want the jeans, they will retire with me.<br /><br /><br /></blockquote>That's all folks! <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The adventure of the Bloggerhood of the Traveling Not So Fat Jeans has begun!</span></span><br /><br />These are <span style="font-weight: bold;">amazing </span>jeans, and I'm actually kind of sad to be giving them up.
