Pants That Make You Look 10 Pounds Thinner. It's About Time!
Filed under: Fashion, Best of the Season, How to Wear, Designers & Brands
Sit-ups are overrated! Take 10 pounds off with these figure flattening "Control Tweed" pants. Photos: shapefx.com
The term "control top" usually conjures up the image of a middle-aged woman (with bad hair) stuffed into sausage casing-like, stomachache-inducing biker shorts.
Enter ShapeFX -- the people who brought you the wedding dress with built-in shapewear -- Perfect-Fit Control Pants: a collection of chic trousers "designed to make the body you have, look like the body you want." (We want that body!)
That's a tall order, but if they do indeed whip potbellies, thunder thighs and huge hips into shape, then these pants will be walking off the racks faster than you can say "muffin top."
The secret is the one-two punch of the "built-in power mesh panty" that flattens the belly while lifting and shaping the butt and the "straight-cut leg" which gives a long, sinewy look.
Think of them as the total opposite to those fat pants with the expanding waistline that Joey wore on a Thanksgiving episode of "Friends."
Available in assorted colors, fabrics and styles including a nubby tweed for work, a classic black for everyday and va-va-voom leather for a night out.
The pants mentioned range from $59 - $129 at shapefx.com.

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.

I had been overweight for the past five years. I had tried almost everything in the market, right from taking diet pills to enrolling in a gym but nothing really worked. Yes I did lose a few pounds but nothing substantial. It was then that a friend recommended Acai Burn ( http://cli.gs/AcaiBurn ) to me. I have been using the product for about a month now and have slimmed down considerably. I have actually started to wear all those dresses that I had put off for so long. The product is definitely one of the best weight loss products in the market today. I have already finished two bottles of Acai Burn and am on my third bottle now. It totally changed my life! Not only did I lose a lot of weight quickly, I have also never felt more energetic and so full of life!

I am truly a believer in Colo Detox ( http://cli.gs/ColoDetox ) I started taking it mid-April and on the 5th of May I had lost almost 10lbs. Now, I had been watching my diet and exercising, but the immediate difference from Nature's Cleanse was obvious. One of my problem areas is my belly, I was always bloated, feeling like I was about 9 months pregnant and honestly, I looked it too! After starting with the cleanse, my bloating went down in a week. I knew that I needed to cleanse, but this just reassured me that not only I needed to do so but I needed to do so more often. Colo Detox ( http://cli.gs/ColoDetox ) also helped me to feel more satisfied and my skin was looking better - what an awesome way to feel!

Wouldn't it just be wiser to lose weight than try to hide it? I know what it's like to try and lose weight. I lost 47 pounds in 6 weeks using the Rapidthin diet at www.rapidthin.com. Good luck to all. Use what works for you.

What a nasty, unappealing and quite stupid article! Even if I had a "pot belly and thunder thighs" I would not buy a product that so crudely described the challenges of keeping fit and healthy and not so self-absorbed that you worry about your pants a good portion of your time.
Perhaps the writer may research feminine warmth, intelligence and compassion and report back on her findings.
