That would be me too. I gain my weight all over...but my waist always stays smaller than breast' date=' hips, thighs and arms... even now at 330+ lbs I don't have rolls in my back or stomach area. If you're the same, that would mean you have an hourglass shape like me. If you gain weight at the top disportionately then you're an apple shape, if you gain it more at the bottom than anywhere else then you're a pear,[/quote'] thanks for this I think Imma hour glass

Thanks Jerzygirl...I never knew how to tell the difference. An hourglass I am!

I'm 5'7" currently 214 lbs and my goal weight is 150. I expressed concern because I though goal would be set closer to 160, but my doctor said that is completely realistic for a woman of my height to reach 150. (He actually set goal at 147 but I need to deal in round numbers).

I haven't been 150 since I was a teenager! My lowest dieting weight was 160....and that was damn hard to achieve. I cannot even comprehend what looking in the mirror at myself at 150 will be like!

The clothing sizes always throw me off....I'm 5'8" (used to be 5'9') and I weighed 158 this morning...size large tops and size 10 jeans. My surgeon's goal weight was 155 and I am going to achieve that **hopefully** by the end of the month. My personal goal is and has always been 145. I'd like to be a size 8 pants like I was in college. Love being in the TALL group! ;-)

I am 5'11 and my goal weight is 200 lbs. I like having curves and it's a health BMI of 27. Hoping to hit it around April. Surgery date was 7/10/13

The size game is crazy!! I weighed 252lbs and wore a 18/20. I lost 50lbs and could wear a 10. I weigh 253 now and wear a 16...smdh.

I'm 5' 10" and I am aiming for 150.

It's 2 weeks until my surgery and right now I weigh 274. I was 163 in high school and I would be happy there too. My doctor says most people even out to their high school weight.

I do want to be a bean pole! I've been too long on the other end of the spectrum! I live in Hawaii and I want to wear a bikini, gosh darn it !!!!

I have always been big, if I can get to 200 lbs I will go from there and see how I feel.

Am I seeing this correctly??? Some of you ladies are getting taller as you are taking the weight off? I guess it makes sense with the compression of the spine and maybe some posture issues... Maybe...IDK. DANG I never thought I could get taller :(. 5'11" is tall enough for this girl.
