Jeans still don't fit?

Try a different style of jeans. We don't all gain and lose weight the same way every time. Your body may have redistributed.

That is so frustrating! It sounds like you've lost muscle; muscle weighs more and takes up less room. So, if you've lost some muscle, it's converted into fat. The scale shows the 3 pounds difference because fat weighs less, but you've gained some inches. Because of this very reason, I don't put so much emphasis on what the scale says. The way that your clothes fit you, the size etc. can sometimes tell you more. Don't give up....keep trying!

I agree. For me, the more expensive the jeans, the smaller the size. And I usually can find them (American Eagle, Guess, etc) at Goodwill and only pay $5 to $7.

I'm pretty curvy as well and I love denim. Jeans make up most of my wardrobe. My recent favorites are made by INC (Macys, if there isn't one in your area, check out macys.com). They actually have a line branded as "Curvy Fit", I feel like they had me in mind when these jeans were designed!

They are a bit expensive, $70-$130, but oh so comfortable and stylish!

So back in September I was easily fitting into a size 12 jeans. I have three pair of these jeans and they are all the same brand/style. I was around 188lbs at the time. Now I am at 185 and the jeans are still too snug! I can squeeze in them but then I have the ugly love handles showing. Unfortunately, one size up makes me feel fatter because they hang down below my hips and I have to pull them up all day. Anyone else having a similar issue? It's frustrating =P

I'm shaped the same way! Calvin Klein works best for me: lots of room in the hippy area, and a nice taper at the waist. Bonus: they're definitely not mom jeans, but they're also not super low so when I bend over i don't have to worry about everyone seeing all my business...

I had to chuckle:laugh: ...sounds like my life! I bought an everyday pair of jeans that are so affordable at Styles for $25.00 - $29.00. They are so cute with great pocket detail of rivets ect. They aren't to low to show your undies & not to high to look like the 1980's. I have my cute Miss Me jeans & Juicy's I save for going out with a long sweater over due to the low rise of them. But these jeans from Styles are the best way for everyday & very cheap. I love cheap but classy finds. The good news with us hippy girls is as you loose it comes off the waist first so soon those love handles/muscles will be gone. It took me 20lbs down to have my curvy waist once more. :bigsmile:
