What size are you at what weight? 14,16,18...



Recommended Posts

I can "fit" into quite a few different sizes! I am still wearing my before surgery pants, though I did have to get rid of 2 pr. My point is...I could pour, squish, squirm and tuck my way into my size 18 pants, 30 pounds lighter and I still wear them because they are baggy and comfortable, I don't have those awful pink indentation lines in my tummy after a day's work anymore! lol

I am 5'3 and currently 199 (happy to be in ONEderland)! :)

The mere thought of being able to shop in a store without a plus sized section is exciting and incredibly daunting at the same time. I literally do not ever remember shopping for myself at a place that didnt carry plus sizes, or weighing under 200lbs.

On another note, I have gotten the impression that your feet shrink as well?

That sucks, cuz I have close to 90 pair of shoes!

I can wear any size 12 pants now at 182 and 5'6"

I wore a 14 when I hit one-derland

I starter in a 22/24 at 285

My "goal size" is a 7/8 -what weight do you guys think that would be? When I was MUCH much younger I was in a 5 at 138 lbs., I'm not ever planning to be that small again

Wow, this really helped me because I'm having such issues with my weight loss and visualizing sizes.

I just dipped below 250 (it's not thin but is nice to say I'm 247!) and I'm in an 18. I have already bought a size 16 and I'm hoping to get into that by Christmas. My tops are either an XL or 1X. The weight loss has slowed and I don't wear anything too tight, but I think every 20lbs or so for me is another size.

I actually had no idea there was a difference between 16W and 16. My husband purchased a pair of 16 and they barely fit. I guess it's the hips. BTW I'm about 223 now (no scale in house)

I started at 250 - size 22-24

Funny how we can weigh the same but take different sizes.

I do not have one pair of shoes that fit properly! I have no idea what my real shoe size is! I actually think I might have a narrow width... It is hard to find them in a store to try on. But shopping in the "normal" section is a wonderful experience!

Love the avatar--I got it for the husband last year for Christmas as a plush toy (had to get it from eBay UK)

Back on subject--my 5'2" sisters, I think we are screwed!!! We have to get much smaller to get much smaller pants

I say we revolt!:thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
