Again, I had to retire one pair of jeans and a second pair is getting looser. My thighs are smoothing out in the back and slimming from the knees up. I always lose the fat where my thighs touch last. That takes awhile. I have to remember that I have lost 8 pounds, but still have about 20 to go. Considering I am only about 5'5 inches tall, that is a lot. The fat above and below the swimsuit bottoms is thinning at the hips. I can feel the density of the fat is diminishing when I put my hands on my hips. My butt cheeks are smoothing out. I feel great.
