I hate going on to applebottoms.com and always being disappointed!…See baby got back and no stomach so it’s hard to find pants to fit my waist and butt at the same time. I dont expect them to fit perfectly. Now im a size 13-15 and the highest i’ve seen applebottoms go in is a 9/10 and sometimes a 11/12. You might be like "wow one size smaller big deal" but the thing is, is that i have thighs and hips and butt, and you could say hey lose weight in ur ass and thighs, but i like they way i am and that’s how i was made. I wanna know what person that wears a size 3 could actually be called an "applebottom". When Nelly does his fashion shows, he gets the thickest women and puts them in his jeans. but wear are these jeans on his website. this really sucks. once again im back to square one, on tryin to find jeans that actually fit. I mean cuz thick girls want to look fly in designer outfits. Shyt even the plus size models have clothes in their size. ( no harm intended)

Should I buy more prego pants at 39 weeks?




Hello all! I have been trying soooooo hard to not buy too many prego clothes as I think they are all ugly (all of them) and too expensive to be useless after 3 or 4 months. However, I am reduced to nearly NOTHING for clothing. EVERYTHING hurts my hips and stomache and is so uncomfortable I want to cry. I tried to put on my preprgo jeans and use the belly band….the ONE pair that i could even get over my rear end was so tight on my hips while I was sitting, I started crying. I feel soooo huge! I have gained 45 lbs. I weigh 230…..OMG!!! I cannot believe how fat I am! I am uncomfortable ALL the time.

Anyway, seeing as how this is my first baby, I don’t know what to expect for after baby is born. I have gained probably 15-20lbs in pure fatness alone. So the idea that my preprego jeans will fit, I’m sure is out of the question. Do you think I should invest the few dollars I have into a pair of prego pants, or should I expect to squeeze into my preprego pants shortly after giving birth as I will be breastfeeding?

Also, I know my baby will be relying on my for nutrition, but would something like the southbeach diet be safe while breastfeeding?
i should add that the maternity clothes I have right now are in threads….I had to cut the elastic on one of them, so now they fall off. One pair was cheap so the band is half way ripped off, and my favorite pair has a hole on both inner thighs…

Can You help me figure this out?




Ok so i took my measure ments today because i just had a baby about 6 weeks ago so i am using some of my tax returns to buy some new clothes that actually fit right. I have always had that problem that if my jeans fit right in the hips ( which i almost always wear hip huggers or low rise jeans) they are to big in the legs and the butt and if they fit right in the legs and they but they are too tight in the waist. I would love to have a nice snug pair of jeans that compliment my butt and legs but cant seem to find any that fit properly. I guess i have a weird body shape. My Measurements came up as 40"-36"-42". I guess im a little bigget then i thought because the conversion charts come up that i wear a size 12 or 14. The only thing is when i buy a 12 or 14 they dont fit tightly to my legs and butt like i like them to. How to i get my jeans to look right on me?.

poll: what is something you HATE to see?

you ever saw that girl in her new "pepe" outfit and her fresh wash & set or new extensions, pushing her stroller and swinging her hips, and when you look at her baby, the baby has a dirty face and stained clothes, hair a mess.. and all u can think is "f-ing bird"

Hips after birth?




First of all, I’m not trying to sound superficial or anything. Having said that..

The day I found out I was pregnant, I finally got into a size 0. I had struggled with my weight my whole life, and the year prior finally made an effort to change.

Weeks before, while we were still living in NYC, I went on a big shopping spree to reward my hard work.

On June 30th, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy. I gained a lil over 60lbs with my pregnancy, and have already lost close to 40.

This was my 2nd living pregnancy (lost one at 20weeks) and 2nd C-Section.

With my 5 year old, I was alot larger, and really didn’t even notice the hip/size changes, I was just happy not having the huge pregnant tummy..

But my question is, can I expect my hips to go down more? And if so/how long does it take? I’m not expecting overnight miracles, but I don’t really wanna go (nor do I really have the money) to go out and buy a new wardrobe in a few sizes bigger than all my old clothes, but I don’t…
want to wear maternity jeans for months (Although they are comfy)

I was a 35.5/25/35.5 before

And now it appears I’m a 35/38/44
( I feel like a snowman, but granted my "measurements were just taken using a belt from a robe, and a tape measure )

I hate my body!!!?




I’m 15 so I know its common for me to not like my body but I HATE mine. I’m 5’3” and a 32D almost 32DD. I weigh I have a short torso so what would normally be a skinny stomach looks wide and fat. I have some fat in my gut in a small area that you see when I wear tighter shirts and I look frumpy. I never get a muffin top I just My shoulders are wider than my hips but I still have a curve at my hip that I hate.
My legs are long but look short because they are fat around the knees and wide mid calf. My calves look a bit like this girls:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/2572861469_de5310c5cd.jpg?v=0 maybe a little bigger.
People tell me I have a nice body and when I see women who look similar to me I think they look nice but I hate it on me mostly becaue I have a baby innocent face. I can never wear clothes I like because they don’t flatter me. Seeing myself naked or in a swimsuit ruins my day and sometimes I cry. I hate it. Help me out here! Maybe some ideas for what to wear?
BTW I’ve tried to lose weight a bit but all that did was make my butt a little flatter which I didn’t even have much of in the first place.

Oh and my mom’s body is very similar to mine except I have longer legs like my dad and my mom has more of a butt. I hate to say it, I think my mom is beautiful, but I just see my mom always trying on clothes and she complains that she can’t fit into them because of her boobs and I’m afraid of that being me in the future.
I know I asked this but I want MORE answers but thanks for your help

(sarcasm)
I was about to put a pic originally but my camera sucks and you can’t see me at all.

South Korean weight for females?




I am 162 cm tall/57.5 kg (still got some baby weight) I know I am about average height there

I am Caucasian/Cherokee (though I pretty much look strait up Irish, aside from my bone structure)

Measurements: 36/26/36.5 (since I had a baby my hips seem to have gotten broader) bra size though is a 34 D

I have a medium frame and I am pretty sure I have dense bones since I’ve never broken anything despite falling off roofs and out of speeding cars, hence I often look a bit thinner than I actually am…my mom too people think she weighs like 190 and she’s 230! I am not that much different but people are usually surprised.

My husband and I are considering moving to South Korea, I’d like to be able obviously to shop for clothes while I am there (and not have to just shop online) and no one wants to be the heaviest person in a place lol How are the sizes there? What do they go up too? As a foreigner what’s a good weight for me (to not look strait up skeletal) but fit in well enough?
