To want to fit into smaller sized jeans

Since May, I decided to clean up my diet and start walking most places to stay active. Through intermittent fasting 16:8 most days, or 15:9 when I'm busier. I've gone from fitting into 32 waist jeans to 28. Which I am very happy with. I'm enjoying wearing clothes again. I love that I don't have to lie down or breathe in to get my jeans done up. DH was impressed and shocked when I managed to button up an old pair of Levi's 501 and some 7 for all mankind skinny jeans I last wore at least 2 years ago!!

I'm 5'8 and DH thinks I'm getting too thin now. I haven't weighed myself, I've only gone by clothes sizes as I find that weighing regular doesn't really help me. I have some smaller jeans in a 26 that I've kept from 3 years ago when I was at my lightest. DH said to stop at a 28 and just maintain. If they get tight then watch what I'm eating.

Is it worth trying to get to a 26?

@Regularsizedrudy

You had 20 pairs of jeans!? Just throw out the 26s you’ve still got a pair for every day of the week 😅
I'm down to 6 in a 28 and 2 in a 26!

I've decided to keep the 2 pairs of 26 jeans

I'm not going to actively try to lose anymore weight.
