I'm 5'8.5" and I have really long legs and need a tall pant; many of these are not talls/longs (I've noted that if they are) so don't get scared if you see they're flood pants on me. I bought them and they were too short (never wore them)...don't ask me why I kept them, but I had a whole section of pants that were too short LOL. Also I'm going to note that some of them do not correspond to today's sizes and I'll note that next to the size they're marked (ie. '12-more like a 10') and I also noted if there is any elastic in the waist and I'll give you the waist size (if it's got an elastic waist I'll give you the min. and max) just so you can be sure (so go measure your waist now).
If anyone wants anything me your selections (use the letter code) along with your name & address and I'll send them out to you (first come, first serve). Send and email to (don't ask, it's not my name, DH set it up and it's his favorite tree-ginkgo) nginkgo@zoominternet.net
Oh, and the last one is just for fun, I'm keeping these to remind me...I found another pair of my 'Before' pants (sz. 22)...never thought I'd be able to get in one leg LOL!

It is so nice of you to take the time to do pictures and descriptions. Unfortunately, all your too big clothes are too small for me right now. :-) Hopefully they will find a good home.
Good on you for adding to the sisterhood. Unfortunately I live too far away :-)
I'm tall too - don't ya just hate too short pants! I ordered some off eBay the other day and they could have nearly passed as 3/4 pants!
With all the things you are passing on - you are going to have a empty wardrobe and a great excuse to so shopping!
I love Item B but do not want to take them now because it will probably be a while before I'm out of my 16's.
However, please, please, please, teach me how to do the side by side pics! How will I be able to do my before and afters if I can't put them side by side?
Thanks BG...I'll be looking for instructions for when I get back from Mexico!
Wow you did a great job with outlining the clothes.. I am very impressed.
I would love to claim dibs, but I am a short runt and wear petites (for the inseam, not the butt size).. but whoever gets this cache is sure lucky!!
Jacquie- If no one wants them, I'll send them to you for your 'soon to be' rack. I'll leave this on your blog as well:
I open the three (or how ever many you want side by side) pictures in 'Paint' software and crop them each to the exact same size (if you want your body/height to be the same in each you may have to also use the 'resize' function if the camera wasn't the same distance away; I just worked with it until the top of my head to my feet were in the same place.). I open up a fourth Paint screen and expand the blank/white box to the size that will be needed to hold all three pics (ie. If I decide to make each pic 500x200 pixels then the box would need to be 500x600 pixels). Then go back to each pic, and under 'select' chose 'select all' then 'copy'. Go back to the 4th sceen and push 'paste'...then slide the pic into position. When you get all three pics there, save it. Then you're ready to import it here. Let me know if you get stuck and keep us posted next week!
Thanks BG...I will try it and let you know!
I LOVE the picture of you in one leg of your old pants! My god, that makes me SALIVATE for one of my own! But mine's going to be with me and my hubs and kids in this skirt i have...i can't WAIT!!!
No way, that one-legged shot is awesome. I did not realize you are a 23 BMI! Whoa! I am just hoping for 29 at this point! Very inspiring.
Look at your stomach, girl. It's so flat!! I noticed you holding your pants up lol. Way cool! And SHEIZER! Two legs in one pant leg - how much weight you have lost. GO YOU!!!!!
That last shot is amazing...lookin fine girl....love the chrissy pants
Love that last shot is amazing! I should definitely get my act together and do this! LOL! Okay...it's on the list....!
You look great! LOOK AT YOU!!!
Onward!
