I understand what you are saying. I am now wearing a size 4 and I can still see the extra weight on my stomach and upper thighs and yes butt. But I have also come to realize that this is not so much extra weight as it is extra skin. If I grab hold of my side and up it up like a loose pair of pants, I look great . Never seen my thighs or stomach look so good. Dam, then I let it go . I am hoping time and exercise will help tighten everything up. OR at least transfer it up to my chest which is no longer there.
