Congratulations to you! Just fyi - you can find boot cut jeans here....

Good for you! How long have you been going?

I usually find decent jeans at Land's End and LLBean. I know I'm out of step with the younger crowd but since I almost always wear a belt I prefer jeans that sit at my waist. They offer straight leg along with boot cut and the skinny (not on your life will you see me in those) jeans.

Janie, I'm in Canada, and I don't shop clothing online. I have to try everything on........several pairs of the same size all fit different. I hate shopping.

Good for you, Jasdip! You are doing such a wonderful thing for yourself.

If you don't mind shopping thrift stores, I've had good luck finding nearly new and even new with tags still attached boot cut jeans.

Great to hear that all the exercising is paying off! I don't have any shopping advice, except a suggestion to shop the brands that you already have and like.

Excellent! Keep up the good work and enjoy your new figure!

Boot cut jeans are not a thing of the past as several companies still make them. I do not know if you were told this or simply have not seen them. The major makers Lee and Levi still make them.

If you have something like a western wear store, Levi's will definitely have boot cut cause the cowgirls wear them with their cowboy boots :)

Terrific. Jean shopping is the worst. I have gotten used to online as the petite selection in the stores are very limited.

Be patient. You will find what works, then stick with that.

I agree with the skinny jeans. I though that it would be over with by now.

There are straight cut jeans. Gap has them.

I also love NYDJ jeans, you needn't buy them online, they sell them in stores.

Just go for the slim jeans not jeggings. Ther are not tight on the legs and with your new figure you will look great. They waist high ones. Look around at the mall and you will see lots of older gals wearing them and you will look very stylish.

Jasdip, good for you and isn't it nice that someone noticed and gave you a compliment. I think jeans are available in numerous styles and you will be all set once you find who carrys the ones you prefer. It doesn't help that you dislike shopping. Maybe if you have friends that enjoy it, they might have some suggestions.

Great job! So happy for you! Didn’t join any exercise classes, but got my first 12 yards of mulch delivered. If my sore muscles are any indication, I will give you a run for your money with the toned legs. I like LL Bean Jeans. Got a couple of the Lewis signature ones, but they seem to loose the shape during the day. Fit nicely in the morning but kind of slip later in the day.

Whoop WHOOP! Keep it up! I'm on month 5 of getting 10000 steps every single day. I still have to get on the treadmill today even though I dont feel like it but I am going to do it!

I only wear bootcut jeans. I find them online but send about half of them back because of fit. You're right that the same size by different brands are NOT the same fit. So frustrating.

Way to go, Jasdip! Hope you are successful in finding jeans.

Just my take on jeans....I found that NYDJ brand stretched out too much after wearing. I do have a pair of AnnTaylor jeans I like and a pair I got at Nordstrom recently that are straight leg. I think the brand is Mavi. Very comfortable and reasonably priced. Do you have those stores in Canada?

I have long legs and a long waist so have to look for the high rise jeans that come in leg lengths or a tall size. It’s so hard. I don’t know how anyone gets into those skinny jeans. My legs are slim and they feel like my compression tights.

I am so PROUD OF YOU....and yes, I'm screaming. :-))))

IF you have a Mark's Work Warehouse near you try there for bootcut.

Congrats on your hard work. And I'm glad you are going to the classes, even though it's alone. You've probably been going long enough now that people will miss you if you're not there and there is something nice about that.

Jasdip, I'm in Canada too. Mark's and Old Navy both have boot cut (so does the Bay but $$$) I know, because that's all I wear too.

I know that you feel good inside and out! I'm proud of you.

Got for you. Way to go!!! Are you feeling more energetic too? I am planning on joining the YMCA before the end of the month. I got a free 3 day pass and liked it. This month is zero joiners fee and $1 a day for the first month. I wish they had more afternoon classes, but pool classes start near week! No advice on jeans. The last ones I bought are elastic waisted capris from Walmart. I wear them with tee shirts,

That's great, Jasdip! Don't worry about "extinct"--boot-cut jeans are classic.

Congratulations, Jasdip! Exercise is simply one of the best things you can do for your health. And I agree that boot-cut jeans are classic. Many stores carry them. I have a pair from nearly 10 years ago from The Gap that I still wear with a heel, and I love them. Take an afternoon to go jean shopping and reward yourself for your hard work.

Lookin' GOOD! Bet your 'insides' are feeling good, too.

A store buyer told me that no two pair of jeans are the same. They stack 20-40 pieces of denim on a board and cut through the layers. There has to be a noticeable difference in the resulting pieces even before they are sewn together.

Thank you SO much for your kind words and encouragement!! My cardio classes are at 2 different places with 2 different groups. One, I'm more of a newbie, just a few weeks. And yes, I'm getting to know the people and they're talking with me more. Just last week a lady commented that I got my hair cut and it looks nice :-)

I'm cheap, thrifty, frugal or downright a Timothy tightass. I won't pay a big price for jeans, and Blfenton and nekotish (hi!) I looked at the Mark's flyer and their jeans were $89. I checked Reitmans as well.

The first place I looked were the usual second hand stores and they were all slim cut or not the right size.

I agree with the slim/tight jeans feeling like compression socks!

Anyway, I'll make a point of deliberately looking harder. A g/f likes tOld Navy, and even though she must be a size 0 I'll take her with me. I've never even been inside the store.

Edited to correct the name of the jeans store.

Congratulations Jasdip!!! What an amazing feeling right!!

Congrats on doing something for yourself. Have you tried Costco or Walmart?

eta: My friend in Ottawa gets hers at Giant Tiger. She refuses to pay high prices. Don't know if there is a store in your area though.

Have you looked at Old Navy? I wear their "curvy" bootcut and they go on sale for 29.99 frequently. Good selection of lengths and rises. Good luck - I hate shopping for jeans!

That's great!!! Good job!!!! I have the same problems as you concerning clothing and pants in particular. I have a 34" inseam, and most pants are floods. If I find a brand/style that fits, even those will vary. Good luck in you search. :)

Oh, that is a good feeling! You go, girl!

Chisue, I learned that years ago. A store buyer told me that no two pair of jeans are the same. They stack 20-40 pieces of denim on a board and cut through the layers. There has to be a noticeable difference in the resulting pieces even before they are sewn together.

This is why, if I really like a particular jean or pants and the first pair is too tight, I go outside and get all the available same size jeans/pants. I will usually find an inch difference in the waist.

And now that you're part of the group, people will expect you to show up for the classes, they will watch for you, they will wonder where you are if you miss a class.

I've been going to the same core class for 9 years and although I don't socialize with the other people outside of the class you wind up becoming a group. It's funny how that works out but it's also nice to know that if you don't make it to a class you're missed.

I also go to a Friday morning strength class and occasionally a few of us will go out for a really quick cup of coffee.
