Thanks Everyone...I am struggling to work on my weight as much as possible. I have always had a weight problem and for me I just want to be healthy. I would love to go shopping and a plus size store and fit the clothes....Tired of shopping at plus plus size stores....anyone else feel that way? so at 199 or 200 lbs i will still be a big gurl...but just a healthy one. I love being big just not unhealthy and nasty looking.:smile:

Lashonda I feel the same way.. I love being a thicker girl and I don't want to be stick thin. Right now I am 375 (OMG that just brought tears to my eyes typing that) which is the heaviest I have ever been, and about a size 26. According to the charts I should be at 160 but my goal is 220. Once I get there I should be about a size 12/14 which I am pretty tall so at my height will look very healthy. I was 160 in high school and my family thought I had a eating problem since I was so skinny and my hip bones stuck out. In my early 20's I started gaining weight and loved the curves I got.. but had no idea how much I let it get carried away until the last few years. Now I just want to go back to being healthy and even found a surgeon that feels the same way which makes me very happy since I will not have the pressure to lose more then I want.

I am soo very happy to see there is someone on here that feels the same as me. I know to some people the point of doing the surgery is to be skinny, and get into that 2 piece they have been dreaming of, but I just dream about the time where I wont get tired after walking around a store after 30 min and just start feeling better.

My surgery is coming up this week and I am so ready...Good luck with everything and please keep us updated!

I weigh 340lbs, so I can relate to you. My goal weight is 200, but I know my ideal weight is really about 140.

I wear extra extra wide shoes and have problems even finding some that size that fits. I want to be able to wear wide shoes and also shop in stores like Macy's that only go up to 2X. I am currently a 4x and have to purchase clothes from a catalog.

I think we can do it.....it will just take quite awhile.

We can deffinitly do it! Have you tried Avenue or Catherines? I also started at 350 - and found that I could shop at both these stores - down to 275 and a 2X - a whole new world of shopping has opened to me YEAH!!!!!!!

The whole shopping thing is something I can't wait for...If you are younger you don't really want to shop at Catherines or avenue...You wanna try Ashley Stewart and online shopping...or maybe stores like simply fashion and such on if you live close to an urban area...those stores carry more things for young plus size women.

I have almost 200 lbs to lose too. I will find out on Oct 7th what my ideal weight is as well as my goal weight (according to my dr) and I will also get my surgery date. I am looking at Nov 1st or 15th. I am anxiously awaiting the procedure. Nice to know these forums exist because now I know I am not the only one. Thanks for the support guys!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
