Height, Weight, And Size Poll

Where do you stand?

No matter where you are on your journey, could you share some body stats? If not your current stats, then where you started?

I sometimes see people becoming discouraged if someone is losing faster, or someone who weighs the same as they do can wear a smaller size.

I think it will help to see that everyone is DIFFERENT, we all carry our weight differently, and height makes a difference. Muscle mass and gender make a HUGE difference.

Feel free to update as your size changes.

Surgery 1 year 2 months ago. 5'10 and started at 349. I wore 28 pant 3X top. Now 164 size 5/6 pant and medium/small top.

Hw 319

Dos 2/14/13 308

CW 298

5'9"

I started out at 302 pounds and a size 24 jeans, and 3x scub tops

I am six weeks out and weigh 271 and I am wearing my old navy jeans in a size 18 although to be fair, they are cut a generously. Probably a true size 20. I have bigass titties though so my 2x scrub tops are still a little snug.

I am 5'3

I'm 5'8". I started the program at my top weight of 450 on May 5, 2012. I wore 5x - 6x pants and tops. They required an 8% of total weight loss (36 lbs) prior to scheduling surgery. I hit that by November, but decided to wait to have surgery to align with my winter break in February, since we had travel plans for Christmas. Prior to surgery on Feb 12 I was 389 and wearing 38W jeans and my 5x tops were comfortable to loose. Now, 15 days post op, I am 376 and wearing 36W jeans. (Smaller clothes are things I'd grown out of on my way up- need to go digging through the bins in my closet soon! No point spending $ on in-between sizes if I have things I can wear without them falling off!)
