LeaveItToSleever 80 Posted November 16, 2012 Where do you stand? No matter where you are on your journey, could you share some body stats? If not your current stats, then where you started? I sometimes see people becoming discouraged if someone is losing faster, or someone who weighs the same as they do can wear a smaller size. I think it will help to see that everyone is DIFFERENT, we all carry our weight differently, and height makes a difference. Muscle mass and gender make a HUGE difference. Feel free to update as your size changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted November 16, 2012 I'm 5' 7" and my highest without being pregnant was 268. Pregnant I was more like 280. I was a tight 22 and in 2x tops in January 2012. Today I'm 178 and size 14 pants (most of the time, though in older clothes I'm in 16s - sizes used to be smaller!) and Large or XL tops. I like things a little loose. I've got some Lucky jeans I really want to wear but don't like the muffin-top when I sit down. They look great if I'm standing! =) I'd like to loose at least 20 more lbs. I've been a total slacker for the past few months and I'm loosing much slower as a result. I could probably double my average loss per month if I'd exercise some more! 1 kmwheel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supersweetums 1,164 Posted November 16, 2012 Height 5'3" Highest Weight 260ibs, size 20/22 pants and 1x-2x tops Surgery Weight 221.5lbs, size 18/20 and 1x tops Current weight, 138lbs, size 4/6 pant, xs/s tops I was a slower loser, it took me 18 months to reach my goal of 140lbs, and now I have dropped a little below! And it is true about sizes varying wildly depending on bones, muscles, etc. I wear the same size as someone I know that is almost 10lbs lighter than me! 6 Sleeved&Hopeful, BatesClanOf4, happyfam and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saraj 7 Posted November 16, 2012 I just started this process about 4 days ago, but I am about 3-5 months pre-op! =) I (21F) am currently at 326, 5"10. I wear a loose 26 in pants (they were recently given to me by a cousin who had the surgery). I wear a 2XL in shirts. I can't wait until my surgery so I can become a better me! 1 PetraLuxor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted November 16, 2012 I am 5'3" and currently weigh 184 lbs and wear a size 16 or 18. The weight is not coming off of my waist as quickly as it is coming off of my hips and butt. Though the waist of my pants fit, the butt and hip areas of my pants are very baggy. I hope this trend stops and my waist area catches up. I am 7 weeks post op and have lost 32 lbs so far. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
