Well now, I'm in a size 8. I never really thought it would happen. For the first time since my 20's (I'm soon to be 47), I feel there are possibilties for me to actually live life as a thin person. Kinda scary, kinda exciting.

I must be a different body shape, because low-rise jeans just don't work for me. They usually seem to gape at the back of the waistband, unless they're spray-on tight. And if I get a pair that fits pretty well, my weight only has to drop the tiniest amount and they're baggy. High waisted jeans just seem to fit me a lot better. Also, I have a long back, and not very long legs, so wearing trousers with a dropped waist just makes my legs look even shorter.

So, I posted here back in May '05 when I was about 125 lbs and wearing a size 8. I have now bought several size 6's (and one 4 - although who knows if that's correct).

A rise that hits me right at the hipbones works, when I can find the exact pair. Not easy, as you all know. I get stretchy denim to accommodate the plump thighs, and boot cut to balance out the legs and make them look little longer.
I am exactly the same, and I was amazed at how great I felt and looked in low rise stretch jeans.

I truly think my weight has shifted considerably, and I hope it continues to shift from my thighs .

My goal weight is still set at 120, but I am considering lowering it. I am going to let my body be the guide. I certainly have excess fat, and I don't look too thin. I never used to weigh myself (or I didn't keep a record of it), and so I only have a few weights to go by. I was probably about 110 lbs before I got pregnant, and that was after gaining pounds that I looked upon as moving into adulthood from teen. The other years (several years after pregnancy) that I have my weight recorded I was 122-123, and I had fat thighs and hips. I think I might be good between 115 and 120, we'll see.
