WANTED PIC!! A woman who is 5'9 or 5'10 and weighs exactly 200 pounds



Recommended Posts

I have been on my journey for 16 months and have went from a size 24 to 14. I weighed 359 and now weigh 200.5. I am looking for a picture of a woman that is the same height and weight as me to compare myself with. I am having a really hard time seeing the true me in the mirror. I still see the old fat me!! So if you are 200 pounds and 5'9 or 5'10 and would like to contact me with your picture I would be grateful. I would love to see what I really look like in comparison to someone the same size...Thanks so much.

I have been on my journey for only 11 months.... but I started @ 377... I am not at 200 yet... but you can click on my profile picsanyway as its close..... I am 5"9 1/2.... size 10 feet. I am a true pear shape.... I am currently a size L on top and XL or 18 on the bottom. I have lost 136 lbs.

I know exactly the way you are feeling... So I took my before, my down 90 lbs and down 120 pic and put them side by side. That kinda opened up a whole new way of thinking.

But I am still in need of losing the last 80 lbs.... so I am not there yet...but I can see the light.

Just a suggestion...compare your clothes and you will definitely see the difference. I know our minds take more time to adjust to our new bodies. It happened to me last year after losing weight and now that I regained it back and some extra I finally realize how much skinnier I was. Now I am on my lapband journey. Hoping to be as successful as you and inspiring to someone else as you are to me. THANKS!!! You look great!!!!!

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but don't compare yourself to other people. In my opinion it's best to focus on your health and being at your best rather than what you look like. Of course I admit that's part of it, and I'm not going to lie, I have moments of body image issues and feeling anxious about my appearance, but your health is the most important thing! Also, we all look different at different weights. I'm 6 feet tall, and I look thinner at 276 pounds than some people I know who weigh less than that, and heavier than some who weigh more; so we're just all so different.

I do wish you the best of luck! I'm sure you're going to look just lovely no matter what others look like!

How you look depends on so many things, like your body type, where you store fat, if you have loose skin, your age, your activity level, the type of activity you do, etc etc.

My Body Gallery is a website where people can upload photos of themselves and enter their stats. This is the results for 5 foot 9 and 200 pounds. All body types included.

Thats a real eye opener. At five feet ten and 140 lb, i still see the 200 lb figure when i look in the mirror , i got banded at 240. I can see objectively that i do look like the 140 lb ladies, but i make excuses "oh,shes younger, fitter, etc" why is it so hard to see our achievements?

I know what the original poster means. I recently asked my husband to find and point out a woman who looks to him to be the same size that I am now because I just can't get my around my changing body. He found it very difficult (I think it's cos he measures with his hands rather than his eyes!) But seeing some recent pix of myself is helping me.

I have one pic of me on there... I'll probably upload new ones with each 10kg I lose.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
