So, I posted here back in May '05 when I was about 125 lbs and wearing a size 8. I have now bought several size 6's (and one 4 - although who knows if that's correct).

A rise that hits me right at the hipbones works, when I can find the exact pair. Not easy, as you all know. I get stretchy denim to accommodate the plump thighs, and boot cut to balance out the legs and make them look little longer.

I am exactly the same, and I was amazed at how great I felt and looked in low rise stretch jeans.
I truly think my weight has shifted considerably, and I hope it continues to shift from my thighs .
My goal weight is still set at 120, but I am considering lowering it. I am going to let my body be the guide. I certainly have excess fat, and I don't look too thin. I never used to weigh myself (or I didn't keep a record of it), and so I only have a few weights to go by. I was probably about 110 lbs before I got pregnant, and that was after gaining pounds that I looked upon as moving into adulthood from teen. The other years (several years after pregnancy) that I have my weight recorded I was 122-123, and I had fat thighs and hips. I think I might be good between 115 and 120, we'll see.
