So, I've noticed that all my 34s were fitting ion the loose side. So I decided to have a little test,. I pulled out a pair of 32s that I had. The 32s actually fit now, but they are my Abercrombie Fitch, and I can't remember if they run on the loose side or the slim side? I also have another pair of 32s that fit, also So I think Mmaybe that I might be at my goal. I'll see tomorrow at my doctor's appointment.
