Default I think it is amazing!!!
That the statement people come of all shapes and sizes is so right....
The reason i say this i because i have seen some posts about what someone weighs and there sizes and it can vary so much. I guess we all carry our weight differently huh????
Where do you carry the bulk of your weight??

My problem which some would think is a blessing is that i carry my weight all over, it is very even... But because of this i can gain 10 lbs before noticing. ALthough i have what i call a muffin top from my pregnancy
I am 5'5, weight now 188 and wear a size 16 for the most part and some 14....
And i have a good friend who weighed 155 and wore a size 14....
It is just amazing how we all vary. Which makes us all very unique!

I'm an all over girl myself. My weight seems to be almost evenly distributed, with my boobs and gut trying to gain an unfair advantage on the rest of my body. I currently weigh about 260 and wear a 18/20, although recently I've be fitting into some 16 and all my 18/20 are falling off me (Yippee!!!!)




Highest Weight - 287lbs
Started Phen & lost 30lbs
Got Pregant & gained only 8lbs
Started back Phen & lost (5 mths) 0lbs ????
Re-Re-Re-Restarted Phen & Re-Recommitted to me!!
So now let's see!!!

5/3/08 SW - 262


Walking 400 Miles by Summer of 2008

I can usually hide my weight pretty well because I carry most of it in my mid-section. Thank God for hoodies! Too bad it's almost summer

map- i can totally relate to the boob thing...
I always joked during pregnancy that i gained 15lbs in boobs
I went from a 36C to a 40E during pregnancy
I am currently a very full 38D
I could do without them. But they have recently started to deflate a bit more

Mostly my abdomen. If I put on a maternity shirt, I would look pregnant.
I try to remind myself that we all carry our weight differently when I run across someone who has stats about the same as mine but who I feel looks a lot better than me. It helps me ignore the jealously I feel. Whatever it takes to keep me on track, right? Otherwise I tend to get discouraged, say s c r e w it, and harm my weight loss journey.

Oh mine are deflated too. Now I look like some kind of alien. It stinks that no matter what I lose (so far) nothing is changing on top. (I'm still a 36DDD there). At least hubby likes them. Me? I wish I was a B. There are so many things I would love to wear but cant because I have those industrial straps.

I am pretty much big all over lol. From my *squeezable* cheeks all the way down to my 11W big honking feet. At 293 I am in anything from a 22 to a 28 pant depending on the maker and cut, and usually a 3-4x shirt. DEPRESSING! I have a big belly and big butt, and big boobs, and big thighs and arms! I am 5'6 and I will be happy enough to pee in my pants when I get to a 14. Thats my goal. I have never been smaller than that, and when I was in a 14 I looked my best. I need to scan a pic so I can 'see' my inspiration daily!




5/1/08- Started phen @305.8lbs


This is the look I am going for!
