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.

Started at 6'2", 306 morning of surgery, 4/18/2011, tight size 26/28, 3X

Currently still 6'2", 171, size 10/12/14, M/L/XL (depending on sizing--still have some of "the girls" and am bigger up top than on bottom)

7/31/12: 190

5'5"

Size 16/18, XL

Now: 155

Size 10, M/L

my highest weight in 2008 was 213 pounds and i'm 5'-4". i chose the lapband surgery and in 4 years i got down to 140 pounds. then my band slipped december 2011 and i lost an extreme amount of weight and got down to 116 pounds and could not gain. august 2012 i had all the fluid removed from my band and gained 30 pounds. the day of my revision surgery, October 2012, i was 147 pounds. now November 2012 i'm maintaining at 137 pounds which is where my body seems comfortable.

Highest weight: 290

Height: 5'8"

Surgery weight: 281

Pants size: 20-22

Shirt size: 2-3X

Current:

3 weeks post surgical

263

Pants and shirt size: Same

Weight: The last time I weighed myself (a few weeks ago) I was 290, which is the highest I've ever been.

Height: 5'4.5"

Size: I honestly don't know. I've gained about 70lbs in the past 7-8 months and have majorly outgrown all of my "real" clothes. I haven't wanted to buy bigger clothes because I don't want to accept where I am right now. So I've been wearing anything without a button/zipper I can find in my closet. Usually it's XXL. If I had to guess, I'd say I'm a size 26, but I don't think I even have anything sized bigger than a 22 or 24 right now.

Surgery Status: I'm pre-op, scheduled for 12/10/12.

My goal is 150-165lbs. I hit the 160's before I got married and was a size 8-10. That was perfect for me, as I'm a larger framed girl and I think that weight fits my body style perfectly. I won't lose my hourglass shape, and won't get too bony/hollow looking.

I am 5'5" and I started at 246 lbs wearing 22W pants and 2X to 3X tops.

I am 33 weeks out from surgery and I am now at 191.8. I wear size 16 regular pants and XL tops.

Exact!!!!! same height and start weight!!!! 5'5 started at 246, 22/2xl pants, xl tops, now at 162 this morning 10/m/large pants (I got hipssssss) and s/m tops (: 6 months out today!!!!! Glad the complications and sickness are way in the past now! Starting to finally not regret it... Now if only my mind would catch up with my eyes..

I'm almost 5'1" and weighed 235.8 in April 2012

Wore size 2X in tops, 18w/20w in pants. My surgery was 7/9/12

Now weigh 160 and wear Misses large/medium in tops, 16/14 in pants.

The differences are amazing. Looking to find someone my height for a comparison. I'm also losing more quickly from the thighs and butt than the stomach but the stomach is looking mighty good!

I am also 5'1". I weighed 277 and was wearing 4x in tops and 24 pants. Now I am 180 and wear xl-large in tops and 16 in pants. I don't care what size I will be. I hope to get to 120 lbs. I am 11 months out of surgery.
