OT: I hate shopping!!!

I thought when I lost my weight at got to goal that I would have so much fun shopping.  But I never realized how popular size 8/10 was.  I went to Kohl's last night with my $10 Kohl's bucks in hand.  I couldn'tfind one pair of size 8/10 pants or shorts that looked ok on me.  My legs are so skinny now that I have knobby knees so the shorts were awful and the pants were all big in the legs and looked like clown pants.  I tried juniors sizes and that was a joke.  I want my pants at my waist not just above my pubic hair line.LOL  So needless to say I gave away my Kohl's bucks to a nice older lady that was waiting in line to check out.  She was excited about them.  At least someone left there excited.LOL

When I get some cash I may need a girls day out to shop.  Get a females honest opinion about how things really look on me.  My daughter thinks I dress like grandma and my boyfriend tells me everything looks good on me.  I need a real woman's opinion.

Pick me! Pick me!!! lol Skinny legs is not a bad problem to have! lol

This summer when I am not teaching we may just have to meet in the middle somewhere and do that.  Maybe get Stephanie to go with us as well.  Iam all about going to thrift stores too so I would be glad to do that.

Skinny legs aren't bad but you add the saggy skin to them and it's a sad sight.  I can put my hands around my thighs and my fingers will touch.  I didnt' realize they had gotten so thin until it was time for shorts again.LOL  I'm really not meaning to sound like I am complaining.  I am so happy to be where I am.  I just wish I had nicer looking legs heck a nicer looking body all together would be nice.  My butt looks like that of a 100 yr old woman.  I jsut keep telling myself as long as I keep my clothes on noone will ever know.LOL  I think it's time to do the tanning bed again.  Dark saggy skin looks much better than white saggy skin.LOL

There are lots of exercises you can do to build muscles that will help give your thighs some shape as well as fill some of that extra skin. Self.com and womenshealthmag.com are great resources.

I will check out those sites.  I do leg lifts and stretches and use a ball but nothing seems to be helping.  but I'm not ready to give up just yet.LOL

You know me, I'm always up for an afternoon with the girls.  Name the time and place and I'm there.

Teena I don't like shopping either.  I have "small" legs also for my waste size and yes those jr sizes all are so low.  I'm really not looking forward to shopping for summer clothes and I need to.  Add 8 or so lbs from last summer and everything is tight and most of it is worn out.

I cannot and will not wear shorts, I have to have walking shorts and prefer capris.

I like Kohls for some things, but they have a huge gap in offerings between the ages of 15 and 60, if you know what I mean.   I have better luck at Macy's in the missy department, although I majorly miss Foley's. 
Also try Target and JCP.
 
edit: Also try Old Navy's office appropriate stuff.  Their work pants are mid-rise, and have small thighs.

 

I miss Foley too! I've found a few things at Penneys and Ross if you hit it just right.

Your loved!

Thanks I will try those places.  I guess I have spent the last 2 years wearing hand me downs and thrift store stuff that I don't really know where to shop.  I like Cato because they are reasonably priced and their clothes seem to fit ok.
