Hi Jennifer7375,

Our "stats" sound very similar - 5'4" 225lbs vs. 5'3.5" 226.5lbs. Do you mind sharing with me how long it took you to lose your 51 lbs? Which, by the way, is absolutely AWESOME!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

:wink: The smallest I've ever been as an adult, that I can remember, was a size five, and weighed about 120 lbs.--I was pretty smokin', if I do say so myself. My doctor freaked out when I told him that I'd love to be in the 120's again--he was suprised that I'd ever been there! So actually, my first weight goal is 160. I've developed some hormonal issues (hypothyroid and PCOS) plus I've aged, so I may never get to 120 again, and I'm OK with that. Once I get to 160, I figure I will evaluate my overall health and see how hard it was to get to that weight to see what I want to do next. My weight loss has been slow so far, but I can see the shrinkage! :tt1: I know I can be active and feel attractive at 160, so I won't stop till I get there.

I think the smallest I ever was as a child was a 12. Still, I'm almost down to a 6 after my weight loss. Really, unless you have a ton of loose skin that is keeping you from being small, there is nothing stopping you from wearing a small size. I'm living proof of that.
