Skinny jeans and saddle bags???

Hey. I have a slight saddlebag problem that I am slowly working at. They're not massive, but they're definitely there.......

Until a month or so ago, I didn't even know what saddlebags were. Then I saw them and realized I had them. I thought that "curve" was just my body shape but it is not. Now I am trying hard to get rid of them.

The first thing I was looking forward to after I got down to 115 pounds from my 135 - 140 pounds.....was wearing my old size 6 - 8 skinny jeans. Now I fear I will be insecure while wearing them because of the saddlebags........I'm not sure if my body fat will reduce enough by the time i hit that weight to reduce them much, if any, at all.....

I'm not a pear body shape either, I'm almost an hour glass so I do have boobs to balance the hips/saddle bags.......

Girls, what would you do? :((

I'm losing weight at a slow enough pace that it shouldn't happen. That and I'm doing strength training to build muscle in replace of the fat so that should hold the skin.

    I am not sure what to do, but it reminds me of something I saw on Dr. Phil today. I woman had lost 160 pounds but she still had layers of hanging skin. How can we guarantee that doesn't happen when we begin a weight loss journey?

    I doubt anyone would even notice them! I think you should keep doing what your doing and try on the skinny jeans! I have saddle bags as well but nobody notices I have always had them and i ran cross country and track for 6 years!
