With running and rowing, I've managed to lose most of the fat from my legs and butt, but there is still the belly to contend with. I know it will take time for the uterus to shrink back completely (six months) and for that skin to regain its elasticity (and to lose those extra pounds). But the end result is what happened yesterday.
I broke down and bought a pair of GAP "Long and Lean" jeans in a size 12 and wore them for the first time yesterday. They're really a nice pair of jeans, but the fit is not quite right. The legs and butt are too big in a 12, but the waist fits just right! Now, I think if I invested in a couple pairs of Mom Jeans, I could probably wear a 10 or even an 8 already. I just need a little stretch in the waistline.
Alas, I've still got my pride. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the treadmill I go...

Have you tried the legging (sp) jeans? I bought a couple pairs, and I wear them with long sweaters. I’ve lost my weight, but my belly is still different. They make me feel cute, and they’re easy to move around in. I feel like I’m constantly bending over, and they’re less scandalous than my former jeans.
