Adorable. Now please reassure me that no Spanx or tube socks were harmed in the making of this at home casual photo? :) Cuz you still look very slim and svelte and no pooch to me. :)

Ok, pix of the Spanx style you have. I've tried so many time to buy them, but it's like "Advanced" work for me and my eyes end up crossed and I get stalled with indecision about which is the correct version! :D

And the foobs are still fine, but I still use the padding that came with my sports bras from Big Lots. They are perfect little bra stuffers to make you look full and fab! :D

These are my faux Spanx. I've tried about a dozen different types and brands of shapeware, and this is by far my fave. I wear a Medium

No spanx or sock stuffed bra at home or running errands and such 😁. You can't see my pooch because my leggings are high waisted and tight, and I'm standing straight, practicing my best posture!

Definitely a medium :) I downsized from a L to M at about 150 or so. They will both fit you, but the M will hold you in tighter.

Just got out my measuring tape, I have a 28" waist & 38" hips. I'm not sure if I'm measuring my waist right though, the 28" is at my narrowest point. I'm high waisted, so it's right under my rib cage basically. :unsure:

I have 2 each of the short and long leg lengths of these. They aren't technically high waisted, but I seem to have long-ish torso, so they end up high waisted on me....so if you are long torso-ed too, bonus! They don't so much squeeze you in (which makes them super comfortable to wear all day long), but more smooths everything out so you don't see panty-lines or little flab bumps. And they are relatively cheap :)

Spanx do wonders for my loose skin. My mid-section is an issue. My waist measurements are very different when I wear them. From 29-inch waist to a 26. (gives you the idea of how much skin I have) My clothing fits so much better when I have Shapewear on. (my last photo is spanx off)

I'm not sure where the "precise" point is on the waist. I also go for the smallest area. :) And it is right under my last ribs! :) I used to measure at my belly button, but it made me too depressed. ;) hehe.

And btw, I can see the major difference that one inch makes in your proportions. :D 🍾:780_sparkling_heart: Congrats girlie!

Whoa! Amazing!!!

Ok, so what's the best color then? Do I need black and nude? Or black and white? Or only nude?

That's your dysmorphia vision kicking in 😳 😘 :) I guarantee you if we wore the same outfit no one could tell which of us had the smaller waist!

I have both nude and black, I wear both.

I also have a broad rib cage, which makes me appear curvier. I still wear a 38 bra :blush:

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
