  1. I’m looking for other women like me that will share their weight loss experience! I’m nervous I won’t lose as much as I want to. I’m a lifelong vegetarian and already work out three times a week. I’ve been athletic my whole life but have an extremely hard time losing weight. I did strict keto for a year between my pregnancies and lost 48 lbs but plateaued and was never able to get below 248 no matter what I did. Im 5’10” and I’ve never been thin or even average. At 12 years old I was 5’9” and 205 lbs. I wore a size 16 pants. I hadn’t even gone through puberty yet. I can’t identify with women who were thin when they were young and then gained a lot of weight. I did gain weight gradually but at 205 I was a size 16 and at 296 I’m a size 20. I honestly feel like I’m exactly the same size as I was back then; my body just feels older, but I still / always felt like a big person. Being tall contributes to that. I’m approved for surgery but need to hear that there are other women out there like me, who have been big their whole life but are also strong and athletic. My goal weight is 200 lbs. I’d love to be a solid size 14 and feel like clothes today are better for pear-shaped women like me.

    Searching for other tall, pear-shaped muscular women

    Thanks so much for replying! Honestly, I don’t even know what 200 will feel like and it freaks me out as I’ve never been that small, even as a pre-teen. 220 is my first goal and I know I’ll feel amazing at that weight. I just have this thought that it somehow won’t work for me and my body will just refuse to get smaller, but hearing that you’ve lost that much so quickly with the same frame as mine gives me a lot of encouragement. Thank you!
