I have been trying to lose weight for a long time, but I recently became fully dedicated to it. I now eat cleaner, and have a friend I go to the gym with 3+ times a week. I'm really enjoying it and feeling so much better and confident! I tried these bottoms on on a whim, and THEY FIT!! I have had them for two yrs, and they have never fit. Today that changed, and it is so empowering to see tangible results.
