When do you think I will be in a size 14?



Recommended Posts

Its funny what stupid questions you start thinking of :lol:

So I started at at snug 18 at 236 weight. Right now I am in a snug 16 at 208. But I can button them and zip them up. So thats about 25 lbs for one size. I know that as you get smaller the sizes change at more of 10 lbs (right?). So I am thinking another 20 lbs, I might be at a size 14?!?

Its been so long since I have been there :lol: I was kinda doing a personal goal and I would like to be at a 14 for my birthday in August. At my current rate, I might be at 185 or so by my birthday. Which if I remember correctly puts me in a size 14. I am about 5'7". Just wondering who out there is in a size 14 right now and how much you weigh. :)

Honestly it all depends on where u lose/ gain weight. One time I lost weight, I was in a 2x at a certain weight. Then I gained and all the weight seemed to go to my butt, so when I lost again it took longer for me to get to a 2x

This depends on your body shape and it's all about how you're built. My pant sizes have gone down from a 26 to a 22 over the first 20 lbs. My shirt has gone from a 26/28 to a 22/24. I think I'm ready for a 20 over the last 10-15 lbs I've lost though. I'm your height, 5'7 and now 237ish.

I am 175, 5'5 (I am actually exactly 5'5" and a half inch, so I never know whether to round down or round up). I am in a 12/10-- I was in 14's at around 200.

This just goes to show you that there is no way to tell. It depends on the shape of your body. I have a fairly hour-glass shape, but I'm slightly heavier on top (my dang boobs) than bottom. If you have a straight waist and carry weight low, then a size 14 will take longer.

Doesn't if feel GRRREEEAT!!!?!?!?!?!?

I'm at about a size 10/12. I'm happy, but would absolutely love to be at a size 8 no matter if I only stay there for a month! LOL I will be marking that special time with my very first tattoo! I think that's a great enough reason to get one and not regret it at the age of 33. :)

You'll get there when you do and still feel you have more to lose, but will feel great about doing it!

I still forget that I can walk into ANY store and shop! Ooooooh the variety!

Have fun!

I'm 5'5 and started at 255 wearing sizes 18/20 jeans and xl or xxl shirts. I'm now 190 and can comfortably fit in size 14 jeans, 12 if there is a little stretch in them and 10 if there is a lot of stretch. I shop at Old Navy a lot and their sweetheart jeans I can wear a 10, I tried on some shorts in a 12 and 14 and the 12 fit better. I have always been overweight so this is just amazing to me. If you keep losing at the same rate you should be in a 14 by Aug. GL (good luck)

I'm 5' 8" and, at 185, 14's fit very comfortably right now. I can squeeze into 12's but I won't buy any until they're a better fit. I have an hourglass shape, btw.

Great. Thanks ladies. I think I will be in to 14. I tried on my 16's again and I can probably start wearing them. They are not as tight now and I can bend iver in them :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
