Raine 170 Posted August 21, 2011 Ok, so I was getting dressed to run to the store with hubby, and pulled out a T-shirt. I looked at it and though, hmmm its a little small. It was one of my sons old t-shirts, a mens small, from way back when, not sure why I kept it, but there it was. Keep in mind that I have always worn a mens XL t-shirt, to hide the tummy etc. I said screw it and put it on. Yup, thats right folks it fit! Big smile about that one LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raine 170 Posted August 21, 2011 That's fantastic! Our stats are almost identical . How tall are you? My original goal was 140lbs but my doc said with my frame that weight would be too low for me. We'll see how it goes once I get to the 155 mark and how I look and feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see how it goes once I get to the 155 mark and how I look and feel. I'm only 5'4" so my ideal weight would be 130, I just don't know if I can realistically do that at my age (48). You must be taller. We'll see what size I'm wearing at 140. If I'm comfortable and look "normal" I may stop there. Anything else would be icing on the cake.

I have a "big" frame so to speak, size 10 shoes, broad shoulders, big hands LOL. Sometimes I think I should be like 5'9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I think I should be like 5'9 Your doc may be right about 140 being a bit too small. I am small-boned. Even at my heaviest I had to have links taken out of my watches and bracelets to fit my wrist. I wear a size 6 or 6 1/2 shoe. My feet have always been narrow so the only good thing that came out of all my weight gain was that my foot got wider and I could pretty much wear any style I wanted. Now I'm back to narrow sizes so I am limited to shoes that buckle around the ankle, lace up or just run narrow. But if that's the only bad thing to come out of this surgery, I'm OK with that.
