Okay girls, since we are all in the 20s it's easier to compare our sizes and body types than to the older ladies.
I have a couple questions.
What is your height?
What was your highest weight and jean/shirt size?
What was your starting weight and jean/shirt size?
What is your current weight and jean/shirt size?
What is your goal weight and jean/shirt size?
Total weight lost?
After or while losing weight, are you still the same height?
After or while losing weight, are you still the same shoe size?
Do you have any loose skin or sagging?
At what amount of loss did it start showing?
What was your bra size, and what is it now?
Are you happy with your weight loss?
If there is anything you could change about how you lost the weight, what would it be? (more exercise, healthier diet?)
If you have any pictures to show your different sizes, feel free to post them It's amazing how height and body shape makes a difference in sizes. I think this would be a good way to show each other that although you may have lost 50 lbs and gotten to 200 lbs you can be anywhere from a size 14-20. Seriously, you'd be surprised what size jeans some girls where. We are all different on the outside and in and we shouldn't get discouraged if we aren't exactly the same as the next girl.
Okay I am going to answer these questions based on my previous weight loss of 50 lbs 2 years ago because I have gained it back and more. But I will still share my stats.
What is your height? 5'5
What was your highest weight and jean/shirt size? 280 22/3XL
What was your starting weight and jean/shirt size? 255 18/2XL
What is your current weight and jean/shirt size? 200 14/XL
What is your goal weight and jean/shirt size? 140 10/M
Total weight lost? 55 lbs
After or while losing weight, are you still the same height? Yes
After or while losing weight, are you still the same shoe size? No. Went from a 7.5-8 to a 7-7.5
Do you have any loose skin or sagging? No (but I only lost 50 lbs maybe I would have if I lost more).
At what amount of loss did it start showing? I would assume it would've started showing at 80 lbs loss.
What was your bra size, and what is it now? It was a 42DD and 50 lbs later it was a 38C.
Are you happy with your weight loss? I was, then I gained it all back.
If there is anything you could change about how you lost the weight, what would it be? (more exercise, healthier diet?) Yeah, I wouldn't have paid someone $50 a week for 4 months to show me how to starve myself. I hate fad diets.
Okay ladies, just so you are not confused, I am currently at my highest of 280. And I started my weight loss journey at 255, 2 years ago and lost 55 lbs and got down to 200 lbs. Now I am at 280 lbs. So those sizes are based on that information.

What was your highest weight and jean/shirt size? 320 4x/28-30
What was your starting weight and jean/shirt size? 305 3x/28

Are you happy with your weight loss? so far yes, wish it was a bit more consistent but ill take it!
If there is anything you could change about how you lost the weight, what would it be? (more exercise, healthier diet?) i wish I was able to exercise more, but alas no room/lots of pl always here.
I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall
My highest weight was 251 and I was in XXL shirts and 20 but should have been 22 jeans
Currently i'm 224 and a size 18 and XXL or XL depending on the shirt
I'm still the same height
My shoe size changes from 10W to 10 after getting below 200
Yes. That's part of what made me gain again. I was more confident big then smaller and flabby. This time i'm doing it right with lots of strength training. We'll see if that helps. It started showing about 40 pounds down
I was a 40DDD at my highest, then at 180 I was a 34G, now i'm back up to 40DDD although it should probably be an F.
I'm definitely happy, but this time around i'm throwing in a lot more exercise and i'm focusing on my health instead of my looks. =)
My goal is 150 pounds and size 10 or smaller and a M or smaller shirt
I had lost 71 pounds, and when I was between 190 and 180 I was in a size 14 and a L shirt. Now i'm back up to 220 after a year
What is your height?
5 foot 8 inches (and 3/4 ) What was your highest weight and jean/shirt size?
230. Size 18 pants and XXL shirts. I don't remember this, because it happened for a brief time in High School, but my mom has a picture she just found of it. What was your starting weight and jean/shirt size?
220. Size 16 pants and XL shirts. What is your current weight and jean/shirt size?
188. Size 12/14 pants, L/M shirts. (I carry all my weight in my hips) What is your goal weight and jean/shirt size?
150/160. Size 6 pants. M shirts. Total weight lost?
32 lbs. After or while losing weight, are you still the same height?
Yes After or while losing weight, are you still the same shoe size?
Yep. Still 9.5 or 10. Do you have any loose skin or sagging?
No. At what amount of loss did it start showing?
10 lbs in my face looked a lot slimmer. What was your bra size, and what is it now?
40DD, now 36D Are you happy with your weight loss?
Yes. Though don't we all wish it'd come off faster? If there is anything you could change about how you lost the weight, what would it be? (more exercise, healthier diet?)
At the beginning I'm sure i went into starvation mode on several occasions, just kept my calorie count at 1,000 per day, and for 5'8" I'm not sure my body was too happy.

After or while losing weight, are you still the same shoe size? Was a 10, now still a 10 but sometimes 9-ish in dress shoes.
Do you have any loose skin or sagging? Not really. Mostly the chicken arms. Stretch marks are my bane...
At what amount of loss did it start showing? 30 pounds, maybe.
What was your bra size, and what is it now? I was a 38-B and now I'm a 36-B.
Are you happy with your weight loss? Yeah, I want to lose more though.
If there is anything you could change about how you lost the weight, what would it be? (more exercise, healthier diet?) I would change the fact that I never stopped (stop?) craving junk food. "Oh, you'll totally lose the craving for McDonalds!" Pfft, yeah right, what a crock. I want a double quarter pounder with cheese...

If there is anything you could change about how you lost the weight, what would it be? (more exercise, healthier diet?) I don't see why, I ate better and avoid rice, noodles and cut down on the bread I eat. I also workout! I cheat a lot, but I'm able to still pull off loosing weight so if anything this would be it.
Let's compare sizes :)
It's amazing how height and body shape makes a difference in sizes. I think this would be a good way to show each other that although you may have lost 50 lbs and gotten to 200 lbs you can be anywhere from a size 14-20. Seriously, you'd be surprised what size jeans some girls where. We are all different on the outside and in and we shouldn't get discouraged if we aren't exactly the same as the next girl.
