Been wearing size 20 trousers as 18's are too tight in the waist. They are really too big and was going around tesco's on saturday pushing trolley with one hand and hitching up jeans with the other. It was coming back in the house with two bags of shopping and having to catch an escapee cat that resulted in losing trousers to ankles with the front door still open that has finally forced me into 18's Ok, I did have to lie down on the bed to fasten them up but hopefully they will stretch a bit. Hoping the tight waistband will force some fat away around my waist, kinda like costal erosion
