And thanks for the dress recs - I'll keep them in mind for our next event!

OP update. I did buy a Vedette thing - ordered it based on the measurements and I absolutely cannot get the thing on - at all! So I'll see if I can return it. I also bought an extra new Spanx thing and tried it layered over my old one - it definitely helps, but I guess really just need to drop some lbs to get rid of this little pooch before the next big event!

Thanks! It should be fun event this weekend!

I like the wacoal line of body shapers much better.

I just ordered the first one! Hawt!

There is a certain set of Spanx that are designed to layer if you wish. Cannot remember which one, but it gives light compression, but are made that you can layer and get more compression.

Decline sit-ups. About a hundred a day. Along with oblique work. Also dead lifts for the ass. Pull-ups use every inch of your core.

I need something to hold in the lump under my belly button. Ugh.

I would totally rock a corset!
