I wonder though what size pants I would be at a store like Ann Taylor that is probably more appropriate for someone my age. Either way, no matter what pants I buy they are always way too big in the waist because they have to accommodate my hips and thighs. And I hate wearing belts, so its a problem. I have found that Joe's Jeans fit me best - their Honey jean is great. The only problem is the price - 150 a pair. For me, finding jeans that fit right is priceless so I don't mind, but try telling that to my husband!
Well wish me luck! I am hoping to not do too much damage but at the same time I think my body is ready for a break.
See ya in about 10 days! (unless my dad brings his laptop and there is actually internet in the middle of po-dunk MN, I might check in here or at the very least log some stuff on daily plate)

Last time I bought pants at Urban Outfitters, I was towards the top of their size-scale too. I think it may have been an 11. I was a little bit heavier then too. At Ann Taylor, I'm a 6-8 depending on the cut.
I've the same probably with everything being big in the waist. I was so happy when the low-rise jeans became popular. But I really hate my butt hanging out when I sit down. I'll have to look into the Joe Jeans. I'm willing to pay for something that fits well.
Good luck! I'm sure your body will thank you for the break. Have a great time.
