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.

Girl this is my life! Except I was 226 the day of surgery, & when I got down to 150 in the past, I was almost starving myself. You can get below 170!! :)

Update - I went shopping yesterday and my butt fit fine into non stretch skinny jeans, size 10. I am now declaring it official - I wear a 10 on the bottom. My tops are still 12s else they pull a little tight across the chest.

I am hovering in the 173-175 range but continually "reshaping"

Ty!!! Yes at 159 (that 1 lb counts from 160 ;-p) I was literally working out 2 hrs a day and eating just chicken for 1-2 meals... Starving myself! Obviously that didn't last. I'd be ecstatic to get below 170. :) When did you have surgery and what are your stats now?

Im 5'10 and weigh 305 - at my heaviest now. Size 2X shirts and 42" waist pants :-/

Oct 2011. I've been maintaining 143—145 for the past month, which I'm Happy about because my goal was 150. I was wearing a 1X shirt, 16/18 pants. Now I'm in S/M shirts, 7/8 pants. This tool is amazing! I hope you get approved. Good luck!

I'm 3 weeks out and starting weight 155 and today 149.2 I'm 5.1
