High Heels....

Ladies....

Since I put on all this weight, I can no longer support myself in heels. I am wondering if losing a good amount of my excess weight will allow me to walk in heels again?

  • loubotins hurt your feet They are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn not worth the 1200 bucks I really like Jessica Simpsons shoes they are amazingly comfortable I can walk in them all day.

Good question BellaDonna. I have back issues, which has effected my balance and with all this weight I gave up heels some time ago. It would be a shame to have to give away all of those nice shoes I have.

i have lost a great deal

and before i allowed myself to get (super morbid)

i wore 6 in heels.....after surgery, and losing weight, yes

i am again wearing them......and so will YOU

Ladies....

I hope so, Thats my theory about why I used to be able to wear heels without a problem.

I am happy to say that I am able to wear heels again. I have lost 100 lbs since I started my journey. I was only able to wear flats before losing the weight.

I am down 52 lbs and will be trying some heels this weekend. I hope that I can! I haven't been able to wear them for quite sometime.

I love how heels look, but I am the worlds biggest klutz so I can't wear them.

I am much more comfortable in heels now than prior to surgery. I'm sure you will be too!

THANKS Ladies!!!! I am so hopeful! I love wearing high heels. I miss it so much.

Belladonna, our starting weight and goal weight are very similar. I am 8 month post-op and I wear heels everyday to work! You can and you will; and you will feel fabulous when you do!

THANKS Curvy! Did you have trouble walking in heels when you weighed over 200 lbs? I can't bear it at all!

I'll be honest...I was definitely able to, but I would HUNT for wide set shoes that had stretchy material, or special order. The heels never exceeded two inches, and I could manage that way. I just LOVE heels!

There you are! Haven't seen you post in a while. I love looking at your pics. Your eyebrows are sick! Thanks for the feedback but 6 inches... I could never pull that off.... maybe 4. I said if I can make my goal I will buy myself a pair of Louboutins.

Planning on some killer heels with spikes on the back....goal gift

And a bandage dress.

Of course when you get the new heels, you will have to buy a new purse and outfit to match!! Sounds like a goal shopping trip to me!!
