Control pants in a size 6??

I have recently lost a lot of weight and I am down to a a size 4-6!

But I have been left with excess saggy skin on my stomach- this is going to need surgery but I'm still breastfeeding my toddler so cannot have it yet.

I'm looking for a thong or pants with firm control in a size 4-6. I got an 8 from M&S but too big.

I would love to wear some figure hugging dresses this summer but right now I just can't unfortunately- I'm not confident with my saggy tummy.

Any recommendations would be great! Thank you.

Sure! I calorie counted; I wasn't slack with this. I weighed basically everything and entered it into an app called Nutracheck.

I weighed 11st 5 and now I weigh around 7st 9 give or take.

I worked out my TDEE on an online calculator and took away 500 calories from that!

Yes I was looking at Spanx but I just see they come in xs, s, m etc... curious if the xs will be snug enough! May order and see

What's TDEE and how can I workout how much is mine? How long did it take you to lose the weight? I weight the same as "before" you :)

Congratulations on your weight loss. Spanx come up really small, I am a size 12-14 and I wear a large. I like the higher power ones that start under your bra strap and come down like cycling shorts.

On the XS Spanx label it says size 6 - I bought for my DD2 to go under a costume. The elastic seems very snug

Try SKIMS, they go down to a XXS. I think the XS is a 4-6 equivalent
