I was shocked to find out that two friends/co-workers--whose bodies I envy!--weighed the same as me. Exactly the same! (In fact, this was several months ago, so now I weight 5 pounds less!) One is a couple inches taller than me, the other is a good 5 inches taller than me. But I considered their weights 'unattainable.' Simply because I convinced myself that I was still overweight, and they were 'perfect.' Funny how our minds work, and how we distort our perceptions. :dizzy:

I'm 5'1, 31 years old, hourglass shape.
I'm 125 pounds. My Calvin Klein jeans are a 6, I have a couple skirts that are a size 4, and my tops are now small or medium. I bought a jacket a couple weeks ago in a size 4.
At my highest weight, when I was very out of shape (meaning, I had little muscle mass and high body fat), I was 162 pounds and a size 16.
In June, I was 142 pounds and bought a dress in a size 12, and bought pants in a size 10.
In September, I weighted 132 pounds and bought pants in a size 8.

Great thread! :)

I should do a man's version of this thread! I just had to buy new trousers because my old were too big. It makes no sense

Old trousers 44 inches & old hip size 49 inches
New trousers 40 inches & current hip size 43 inches
