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

[ohaw 2]

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.

WOW!!! Thanks!!! My goal is to be 135-140 lbs and I was curious what size clothes that would be....now I have a good idea anywhere from 6-8, which is exactly where I want to be THANKS!!!

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.

We should all submit our before and after pics to that website

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

Cheri...i was thinking the same thing...what a difference an inch or two makes!!!

[Jachut 487]

Depends where the inch or two is, lol. Height, yeah. An inch or two round the bum, not so good, lol.
