Ha! I wish!

I'm a large legged girl...and I can NEVER find jeans. I find that ones with stretch are better than without...but I've never found a jean that actually fits my waist and my legs and still looks fashionable. To give you an idea, the old Reverse Fit at Gap fit me like a glove. Yuck.

Anyway, I have found that the best way to slim my legs is through sound nutrition, heavy weight training and cardio. Biking obviously covers the cardio, so if I could just reign in my eating and get back into the gym, I'd be golden! When I lost a bunch of weight a couple of years ago, the weight came off my middle first, so pants got even harder to find for awhile. The longer I stuck to my plan, the better it got because eventually, my legs started to lean out too. When I was at my lowest, I still had bigger legs (compared to waist) but it wasn't as drastic as it is when I'm overweight. Now...if I could only duplicate that dedication!
