I Want To See What 125Lbs Looks Like.. Anyone Here That Size/weight?



Recommended Posts

Hey. I'm 5'6 284, and medium to large frame going by the measuring of the wrist chart. Anywho my goal is 125 or a size 2 or 4, but I would be okay with 150. I have more boobs than legs. I would describe my shape as straight or a perhaps apple. Anyone here same height? I guess I'm trying to see if 125 lbs would be too small for my frame. Thanks.

I would think 140 would look good on your frame/height.

mybodygallery.com Has tons of pictures of real women who submitted images. You can chose height/weight/sizes and body shape to see images. It is interesting.

Also, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson are 5'6" and 120. But they have a more petite frame.

I checked the last site and although I put a height and weight I wanted to see it seems so different. It seems like although you can chose different shape it doesn't help with the frame. Some women look super small, and some women look bigger. I'm going to look into the photographic chart.

What I really want to see is someone who started out with the same build as me. I'm trying to avoid going through the photo albums to look at befores and after. I would have posted in there but there is no feature such as that. Oh well. Thanks anywho.

I'm 5'6" and also have a large chest. There is no way I would drop that low. I'm a size 4 in most jeans now, and a size 2 in some that are relaxed fit. My tops and dresses are all small. I'm at 164 now, and only want to lose a few more lbs. Of course, eveyone is different, so it depends on you too.

In my younger days I was exactly 125 lbs and 5'6, were talking about 26 years ago. When I look at all of my picture back then I felt like I was to skinny and most of my friend would agree. My daughter comment when she look at those picture " Mom you needed a sandwich". In other words you were W-W-W-way to skinny. I just want to be in the 150 range, I think I would look alot healthier, not just skinny.

Also food for thought when I was that skinny I had other issues that required me to eat a great deal, low blood sugar.

My goal is to lose the weight I need to remain healthy not just skinny.

Just a note to say that I, too, was a medium to large frame when I measured my wrist just before surgery, but as the weight came off, my wrist, fingers, and feel all got smaller. Now I am a small frame according to the wrist measurement. I am two inches taller than you and weigh 138. I like how I look here, slim but I still have boobs. You'd probably look good at 125.

I think it also really depends on how much muscle vs fat that you have. We have a few members here that are in the 150-140 range and are a 2/4 because of how toned they are while for others it may take to be 120 to get there.

Also I would not consider myself to have a large chest but I am an AA and therefore I got butt. With that said I am definitely an apple shape. When I was younger I always had a butt and really do not see it going anywhere once I loose the weight, just smaller in circumference, I hope.

Foxbins I tried to see your pics but your avatar is of your living room I believe. Is anyone having issues with Lilyslim? I am trying to either quote or check out someones profile and it opens up a lilyslim page. ARGH!

115 - 155 is going to be your "normal" BMI range. 135 puts you right in the middle of that. BMI really isn't the best gauge, but if you need a target to shoot for, it's a starting point.

I'm a 5'11 Pear, so pics of me won't help, but a friend of mine about your height and shape weighs around 145 and wears a 6.

I'm 5'6" and I am targeting 130lbs. I am 159 right now and I wear size 8's or 10's. This has really surprised me. I will have to look up whether I'm big boned or what. LOL ;)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
