I bought these for a great price in anticipation of my continued weight loss.  I have these in larger sizes and love them so much, so when these were on a lightening deal, I snagged a pair in a smaller size.  I'm almost in them now, so it may be time to get the next two sizes down too!!  I love these so much because they hold everything in and smooth everything out so nicely.  And I'm a HUGE fan of the pull on style.  No sharp buttons or rivets to jab into your stomach.  PERFECT JEANS!!!
