Kelsey, Old Navy only has plus sizes (16W and up) online only. It says on their website. I order from them sometimes, they are ok. I just got some double-stretch khaki trousers from them...I have to buy plus petites (aka short).

I'm in the big tummy group too! It's so weird! Annoying, because there is nothing for my pants to hang on... they just fall down, because my tummy is bigger than my hips. Arg! | |

I am right there with you guys. My stomach looks like it did when I was 8 months pregnant and it forces me to have to buy clothing 3 times larger than I would need. It's really depressing.
I saw a post that stated they thought it may be due to the IR. Just a note on that one, I am profusely out of proportion but I'm not IR. All I've ever been told is that it is just part of it... | |

I too have issues with my stomach. I have started doing a pilates video in the morning and go to the gym and do cardio in the evenings. I have lost some in my belly but it definitely is not disappearing like I would like for it to. I just try to remind myself that it has taken several years for the weight to pack on like it has so it will take longer than a few months for it to go away. | |

Yup. I have had a big gut since I was about 13 or 14 years old and I haven't been able to get rid of it. The most progress I've had is losing 5 lbs. but that's about it. I have been asked a few times if I'm pregnant. It's so annoying and it makes me feel really unattractive and fat. I hate it. | |

Remember back in about 25-30 years ago when some expectant mothers wore those novelty t-shirts that simply read "Baby" and had an arrow pointing down at the belly? Maybe we can screenprint some tees, just for those of us with "the gut" that read "PCOS, Baby! with the directional arrow. I mean, just to clear things up for the general gawking public.

I"m with you girls in the big belly categorie right now.
I just ballooned up about a month ago that packed on about 15 pounds. Mine goes in phases and comes on fast. Even when I was swimming 3-4 hours a day in college, when I stopped swimming for one week ... my stomach would balloon up and I needed to go up 1-2 sizes in pants. Otherwise, I'm usually skinny with a flat stomach.
I like the t-shirt idea. Maybe it should just be a soulcyster shirt.

I have been seeing a lot of "baby doll" type tops in stores, right now. I bought a couple because I could actually buy my size an have it cover my "rolls". That was until I saw myself in the mirror from the side. OMG. I looked pregnant. Sad thing is that I really want to get pregnant. | |
