Well I am in the Levi's that i wore 5 years ago before I gained all the weight. I was soooo happy, went strutting through the house modeling for everybody. As a matter of fact they are a bit too loose in the legs and really loose in the butt. I always wore junior Levi's because I liked the way my butt looked in them. Well, I got a glance of myself in a window while Christmas shopping, and they look terrible!! I have no ass at all disease. It is gone! So I have been oin the zafu site trying to find some jeans that will fit better and of course the suggested ones were over $200 a pair. While I have no problem normally paying that for a GOOD pair of jeans, I am not about to kick out that much for something that I know I won't be wearing long.

The other problem I have is that I am not losing weight in the waist area very fast. Everything is loose in the butt and legs but tight in the waist. Does anyone have any suggestions for jeans that are reasonably priced that are a little looser in the waist? Also looking for suggestions for exercises that might speed up the waist area. Come on girlfriends, help me out! Thanks!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Kenya. what king of jeans do you wear? I don't really want to pay over 30-40 bucks right now, seems such a waste.

I love old navy sweetheart, stretch with classic rise....they fit great...they are reasonably priced.....

I know how you feel...I want some true religions, but I'm not dropping that much on jeans until I get ALL my weight off!!

I recently went on a jean-fitting expedition and tried on at least 20 pairs in umpteen stores. I settled on some Lee jeans from Sears for $19 but my favorite were at New York and Co They have multiple rises, lengths, stretch, no stretch, boot cut, etc. They were $48 but I have a coupon which I will use before the end of the year to save $25. Good luck -- PS I have NAAL syndrome too!

Well, I always had a booty before the weight and probably will after I lose it all, but I wasnt aware that others were losing butt and legs before waist like I have been doing. Thats the first sign that I am going down another size, the butt and legs get baggy first, then when the waist follows I go to the next size down. I have been going to Ross for my pants, I have been surprised to find l.e.i. brand here lately, from my favorite store Torrid, where they are 50-60 dollar pants but at Ross they were 15 dollars, I also never pass up sizes I will be in someday soon when I find them for a good price.

i also seem to lose in the butt and waist first, but recently have been doing more crunches (seems to be helping some) also for clothes, i like to go to savers or platos closet, you go thru them so fast so the price is just right for all name brand clothes
