I love it! You look great!

My youngest is 25 and I haven't! Harder after the menopause too. However, so what. You look great for your age, OP! I'm a lot heavier than you and I wear skinny jeans quite a lot too.

I have an overhang after 3 kids and two c sections. It ain't going nowhere! I just dress to disguise it - clothes that skim rather than cling are you your friend.
My 72 year old Mum has been wearing skinny jeans since they first appeared in 2004 - they are not just jeans for the young.
You look great op.

You look stunning!
Do you have better legs than your teenage daughter...?? That could be why she's giving it the thumbs down!

You look great OP! Smile

But yeah it's a terrible phrase to use! Wear what you like, you've only got one life.

Love the outfit and TBH it’s very inoffensive!

wizzler · 22/09/2019 20:39

You look great op . I live in skinny jeans and my legs are nowhere near as good as yours!

Is it actually possible to get rid of overhang
My youngest is 16 and I've still got my mum tum. I've been doing a lot of core workouts* recently and although my belly is a little bit flatter there's still with the c section overhang.

*by a lot I mean twice a week for 3 weeks. I'm no Jessica Ennis.

Good for you. Keep going and report back to us! Can I ask what exercises you've been doing?
