I know about GV Jeans... been wearing them for a couple years, trouble is they are hard to find, in 3 trips to GW I have found 3 pairs 12, 14 and an 18. Bought them all... but right now I need 16's! Guess I will head back to GW on my lunch hour!

btw, what is a slinkie?

45 minutes at Goodwill just netted me 4 pairs of jeans for $15!!! two Gloria vanderbuilts , one Jordache and one brand I didn't recognize !

I can't take the time to alter jeans for that price!

OKAY....please don't laugh or roll your eyes at me, BUT...

I am a big big Britney Spears fan. I'm 26 and have been a fan since I was about 11. So, in 2009 when she was on tour, they had tracksuits for sale at her shows, and my brother (who is my concert partner) bought me one. It was 200 freakin dollars, and i have NEVER worn it because the biggest size they had was X-Large so obviously it wasn't going to fit a 300+ person. I STILL have that tracksuit and I cannot wait until the day I will be able to wear it. The great thing is that we're only 4 days into the new year, so i KNOW that the day that tracksuit will fit me, is going to be THIS year!

OMG Crystal88,

"WE" would never laugh at you! Those living in glass houses should not throw stones!!!! I am CERTAIN many, many of us have our own 'track suits' hidden in our closets! Mine is a beautiful Chinese Silk Jacket, that belonged to my Grandmother that has hung in my closet for over 40 years!

One day I went into Sephora with a friend. And they were playing Britney Spears. I knew all the words to the song. ALL. THE. WORDS. So there is no shame in my game.

Also, I saw N'Sync in concert at Soldier Field. I went with a friend, not as an escort for a 12 year old.

Phew, thanks ladies!!

There are people who give me a hard time because I'm still a fan, but I let it roll down my back at this point.

I can't wait until I can fit into that tracksuit!!

All those FAB sites are like that. I wanted some super cute boots from Just Fab and it was the same situation so I didn't do it. It was like Columbia house records but for clothes. Sure you get your first taste at a low low price, but then you have to pay up the wazoo later to make up for it.

Just Fab doesn't have an actual membership fee. It's frustrating if you forget to shop the mint but they usually send an email reminder. At least if you don't skip you can still use your money for shoes and not just lose it to them with nothing in return.

Yes, you do have to skip if you are not going to buy. But you can buy at any time after that. So just remember to log on and skip the month. In fact, I skip every month. But then sometimes I buy later anyhow.

Does anyone have this problem with jeans? I have lost a lot of inches off my butt and thighs, but My waist is still larger than my hips. (apple shape) Most women's jeans have a smaller waist. So I am finding jeans that fit my waist are huge and baggy over my rear and thighs.

Any suggestions for a brand that fits?

I have the same problem. Unfortunately the women in my family are plagued with bigger bellies then butts. No matter their size. My tiny mom suggested men's jeans. Works for her but no way I was gonna do that. Well for Christmas she bought a pair of 32 x 30 for my very skinny tall 16 year old son. Way to big and way to short for him. I said wth and slipped them on and guess what? My mother wAs right about the butt fit for us! And they don't slide off. They are just plain jeans but fit!!

I don't have a picture right now but more than anything I want to get some black, knee-high boots! My calves were always so fat I could never find ones that fit (even plus-sized ones) so I can't wait to lose enough and slim down my calves enough to wear sassy black boots again!

Im pretty petite (5'5) to my husbands 6'7 frame. I would love to have my curves back, but in a more healthy way: would love to have a knock out dress that will leave my husbands jaw on the floor lol. Plus red color family is my favorite!! Lil black dress extra sexified

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
