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).

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

Sorry

At that age my boobs were worth the focus :wink2:

Last time I was this size, I was 18. I got married 2 weeks before my 18th birthday in a size 9/10 wedding dress. But...the strange thing is...I weighed 127 at that time, now I weigh 177! How is this even possible? I swear that clothing sizes have gotten much bigger over the years or something!:wink2:

In junior high. Maybe even younger. I can remember BARELY fitting into clothes in regular stores when I was 12. I shopped at Sears in the Pretty Plus section, if anyone remembers that. I remember it as a nightmare more than anything else.

I am not done yet. This is uncharted territory for me. Its weird, but really good.

Congrats everyone!

I remember the Pretty Plus section at Sears. I've been up and down in weight all of my adult life. As a child I was fat. I've done so many diets I can't even begin to start and was fairly successful with many of them at getting to goal. Just couldn't stay there long. Now I'll never have to really worry about putting the weight back on...as long as I continue doing what I'm doing...which I might say is now much easier! Thank God!

I love "Say Yes"-- but as we all know ther is no accounting for taste . Sad part of that show is they have very little to offer those that are "calorically challenged"

The last time I was this size was not that long ago. But, I have been an extreme yoyo dieter for a long time. The funny thing that strikes me when I look at the scale now is the last time I was this size, I was getting pregnant, TWICE! I started both my pregnancies at 206 pounds... weird coincidence. Good thing I am on birth control now. LOL

Adagray, I too got pregnant with my one and only child when I was a few pounds less than I am now. At the time I got pregnant, I had just lost 50 lbs. However, there is no chance of that this time, trust me. I am anxious to get down to the weight I was when I did get pregnant about 15.5 yrs. ago and then some.:thumbup:

It was in the 1980 something. I am 12 pound away from 100 lost. I wanted to lose 100 pounds by 7/15/2010. I need to get busy. You all have a great summer stay cool.:thumbup:

The last time I was THIS size, was on my wedding day. I was 22 years old. But I'm planning on getting back to the size I was when I was about 17!! I'm half way there! :smile2: Whoop, Whoop!!

Haha! evidently it is very common to get pregnant after a huge weight loss. I got pregnant, the 1st time, after loosing 25 lbs. I was really looking good,at 118, then got prego, but stayed about 125 for 5 years until 2nd pregnancy. The the yoyo dieting started.

Agreed! I was told I'd never have kids! Then at 27, I got divorce, lost 90 lbs, met a great guy (who I am now married to) and was preggers by 30! THAT is when smoking was stopped, food was replacing cigs and another pregnancy on top of baby weight I didn't lose from #1 wreaked havoc.

All I can say is that I am 1 lbs less from what I was when I got preggers with my first child (was 165), and I'm going for 15 more (maybe 20 LOL).

I LOVE my band!!!!!:thumbup:
