LizI'll have to try those. I know that Faded Glory at Wal-Mart sometimes works. Thanks!

I like the Rider jeans that you can buy at WalMart. The thing I like most is that I can buy a petite (for my short legs) in my size (which is by no means petite). Try those out and see if they'd work for you.

JulieYou know, I used to have an hour glass figure even when I was heavy, and during any thinner times, my thighs still carried weight. Now that I've lost so much, it's just the opposite. Thighs look great and extra pudge in my tummy. Go figure! And you're right, the thighs are always the same size – that's really rough. Have you thought of getting them tailored? Thanks:)ElizabethI feel that pain as well. I'm a stay at home mom who does a bit of child care, so I have to stick to a budget. Eating toothpaste is worth it if you find some amazing jeans;) Thanks!

Being a broke ass (no pun intended) who buys everything on sale, I wait until the end of the season and then buy something that fits well. Like Kelly, if I find something that fits REALLY well, I may purchase a couple more pairs, and then eat toothpaste the rest of the month!

Perfect timing because I'm sorely in need of new jeans and dread the shopping excursion to find them. I have an hour glass figure and carry weight in my thighs, but I have to go up so many sizes to fit the thighs that waist, length, etc. all are too big. The thighs of size 14 or 16 jeans are the same size as a 10, no matter the style. Even when I lost a lot of weight I couldn't buy a smaller size because of the thighs. For that reason I've started wearing jeans less and less.

NancyChicos, huh? I don't think we have one here. I think they fit better when you get them from Goodwill because they're nicely worn and ready. That's how I like my jeans. I've found some really great buys there, especially when I was a different size every month. Like you, Gap works pretty well for me.Thanks!

JulieExactly on juniors! And seriously, most girls don't look good in those low rise suckers. Yes, when you find some that fit, buy in bulk, lol. It's the only way to go.BrendaThanks! I had to post about it because I thought jean shopping would be so much easier after losing weight. Nope. Just a new kind of frustration. As for the body thing, I think it's a combination of genetics and having the money for a personal chef and trainer;)AngelaI don't think I've tried those for a long time. Wow, are you a Type 1? My mom is a type 2 and it really sucks. Would be so frustrating to have to deal with the port and jeans. They don't make things that last forever because they need our money, lol.Thanks, ladies!

I buy Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and nothing else. They have a somewhat stretchy waist, which is great because I'm a diabetic and have a port under my skin on my stomach, so tight jeans is definitely not an option. I've actually had to start buying a size up because sometimes the sites bruise and snug jeans hurt. So does low-waist, ugh. My biggest problem is the length. Short hikes up my leg after several washes, but I don't like trekking all over the bottoms of the average length. Yes, buying jeans sucks. Why can't things last forever? =P
