My tailor refuses to do jeans waists... I have some khakis and of course, my uniforms, but I usually end up belting the 5 pairs of pants I own.

I haven't owned a pair of jeans since before I hit puberty because I literally cannot find them to buy... I've shopped everywhere from thrift stores, TJMaxx and Marshalls to Nordstroms, Saks 5th Avenue and Macy's in New York and I have not found a pair that fit. I own one pair, currently, that fits my butt, but I have to…

Yup! I go to a small, privately owned womens gym in my hometown, but you can find them a lot of places. We also do bellydance, which is AWESOME

It has nothing to do with what others think, it has to do with "curvy" jeans (which, in a small size would fit quite nicely) not being made for anyone smaller than a 10, and me being unable to use the one word that actually describes my build.

....I'm about to get flamed, aren't I?

I do it at my local gym! It's amazing, gets me in shape and really boosts my self esteem! Nothing wrong with it!

You really cannot get rid of it without surgical methods. sad but true. It is genetic. My mom had a minor cosmetic procedure done and looks great, but it was costly and invasive, and she has to have it touched up every few months. I use a sunless tanner on my legs and it disguises it pretty well. Fat loss and muscle gain…

The hormones will do it to you- I had something similar when my Implanon was put in. Just be more careful, and you'll balance out in 2-3 weeks.

THIS!! I'm 129lbs, and in quite good shape, and I have a 22in waist and wear a 28F bra size. I am curvy, but not fat. Curvy does not mean overweight. Curvy means you have curves. This re-appropriation of the term in recent years drives me insane!

Nope, hair down to my mid-waist. PBM loves running

Bleh... here I am, last year, at 125lbs.

The worst for me was the other day when I had a smoothie. So much sugar! If you track these things and flat out avoid any restaurant you can drive through, it will help.

Whoever asks the other out on the date pays. Talk to him about this. Offer to pick up the check occationally

I'm 18, and 129lbs, and I have it all up and down my butt and thighs. It's genetic, and the absolute worst. I find that working my thighs, losing bf, and some self tanner (I'm as white as they come) helps a bit, but honestly, you can't completely get rid of it without cosmetic surgery. My mom had it done, and it looks…

Cut out the sugars, first of all. Make sure you're logging the sugar content (change your food diary settings). Also, I drink a ton of water. No vitamin waters or juice or any of that. Strictly water-only. You'd be surprised how much crap goes into your body with that stuff.

5'1, 129lbs reporting in! I'm working on putting on muscle and losing fat to help me be the best I can be while fulfilling my military dreams! Goal weight is 115 with muscle. Add me :)

Why just to women and children? I know my religion at least is just as strict (if not more so, actually) for men. To OP: Jew here. When I fast for Tisha B'Av and Yom Kippur I just make sure at the end of the day to avoid all the fried things. It also helps to set out what you intend to eat beforehand... and to TELL your…
