The last time I was this size, I was....

[LeighaMason 19]

The last time I was this size I was 26 years old, a new mom, using Phentermine, starving my body of nutrients, killing my metabolism and unknowingly creating a yo-yo diet cycle. Now I am eating quality foods, tracking my nutrients, working out, eating smaller portions, fixing my metabolism, and have the ability of keep it off (based on the fact that I don't have to stop what is working like you do with diet pills).

What about you? Please vote and tell your story.

The last time I was this size I was about 36, had braces on my teeth:biggrin:, and was a new grandmother. My mom and grandma were still alive and concerned about my weight.

I'm glad they didn't see me balloon up as big as I did in the last 2 years before banding.

I want to get back to the weight I was when I was in my 20s ............. not holding out hope for the same beauty tho. Can u tell I am in a mid-life crisis?

Last time I was this weight and size was around the time I was married 30 yrs ago. I did stay within a normal BMI until my late 30's but when menopause hit, my weight increased daily. :wink2:

Congrats ladies!

I have to hold off on taking this poll for about 3 months. I was this size about 6 years ago.

Once I drop 22 more pounds I will be in territory I haven't seen since my late 20s.

I was about 40 and had used slimfast for several months. I kept my weight off for a few years, but as someone else said, menopause snuck up on me.

Last time I weighed my current weight was in high school. Only 13 lbs away from my goal, but every lb from now on is a bonus! Surpassed my mini-goal this morning; rounding third and heading for home. Hasn't been easy, but well worth the effort.

Have you seen this show called "Say Yes to the Dress?" I've seen a couple of episodes where the women were about to pop out of their dress. They had like a thin piece of fabric covering their boobs. When I get married, I want people to focus on the ceremony, not my boobs.

No matter how lavish the ceremony, all of the men will be focused on your boobs.

Sorry :wink2:
