Thanks! I checked out their size charts and there is virtually no gap between the two bands of petite jeans :). This might actually work. [This is in reply to Laura6887's post I wear Lee Rider Relaxed Fit. They fit comfortably over my hips without being too big at the waist. I buy them at Walmart for about $18. I was able…

Sigh, I am so upset at Lane Bryant. The jeans that are the loosest are 16 "blue circle" from when they had all those different shapes. I went in to try their new styles and the next size down is way too tight everywhere and the next size up is 3-4 inches too big in the waist. I did buy a nice pair of pants as part of a…

I am sure you will love this, but you could still do situps and possibly classic pushups. Those aren't my first choices of exercise, but they should avoid straining your knees and every bit helps.

5b. I weigh in every day, but I use Trendweight (www.trendweight.com) which uses statistical analysis to average out the curves. It helps me keep from getting cocky when I lose 5 lbs in one day or despairing when I go just as high in the other direction.

If it's just one bite, I won't log it, but maybe I will round up the next thing I do log. So I will nibble an unrecorded tater tot, but record the burger as 7 oz instead of 6 or record something as a whole amount even if I did not finish it. Also, I use a fitbit and do a bit of walking around in the morning while getting…
