Jouselle 45 Posted August 22, 2013 I've been looking at before and after pics, and now I'm really worried I'll end up too small. After spending all my life being curvaceous, I don't want to end up a twig! I've spent my whole life telling myself that I'm beautiful bigger, what if I hate it being skinny? Is there a way to stop losing weight? Do I get to pick where to stop? I still want to be me! 1 A_ReNUDE_me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottsGirl 106 Posted August 22, 2013 Everyone is different and will have different experiences! You should stop worrying about the "what-ifs." Otherwise, what if you don't lose enough weight? Live in the present. There are several ways to stop losing, but you really need to focus on what you need to do right now. 3 supbanana, gamergirl and CowgirlJane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimagainsoon 88 Posted August 22, 2013 It will level out! If you feel that you have lost too much you can increase your calories. However, its good to lose an extra twenty once you near goal because my surgeon told me that after five years its a fifty percent chance the weight can come back on. Noooo, I do not want to go back to the plus sizes. I am enjoying wearing size twelve. People keep saying don't lose no more, like I got control of how much to lose. However, I want to wear size ten. Good luck you will be fine, just keeping eating healthy and getting your exercise in. You can still have curves and be slim. 2 A_ReNUDE_me and TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney Susan 333 Posted August 22, 2013 Gee, if only I had this problem. More than likely, like most of us, you'll agonise over the last 10kg and trying to give yourself a 2 kg (5 lb) buffer. 2 supbanana and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lose an extra 20 pounds....I don't believe that that is the bast advice...Like the lady said before ( live in the present ) tomorrow will have its own anxieties! A 10 lb buffer will be your cue to lose or stay the same.....Your body will stop when it gets where it is most comfortable....And later on if you stretch out your sleeve then you can put the weight back on ...Or by going back to your old habits....eating the wrong stuff constantly. And not dealing with the issues that brought you to this place..... 2 Wayless and TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinsMama 483 Posted August 22, 2013 I was told that most people retain their same overall body shape. So if you are curvy then most likely you will still be a bit curvy. So for example if you're a pear, you'll be a pear but a much smaller one. I would not worry about losing your shape. During the weight loss phase sure your body may lose and you may look out of proportion for a bit but as you near goal, you'll find that overall you look similiar. I've always had a smaller waist than breast and hips. As I'm losing inches I've found that my chest is going down at a much faster rate than my hips so I look more pear shaped. However this week my waist went down some so I'm back to more of a figure 8. Just go with your body's cues and you'll be fine. 2 LindaS and LG1981 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
