I am 5'7 and started IP at 230lbs. I was wearing a tight 16 pants and XL tops. The worst part was I carry my weight in front so I looked pregnant. I have now lost 40lbs and am wearing comfortable size 12 pants and loose L tops. My stomach looks relatively flat and I feel great! My bra size hasn't changed yet-I'm still in a 38DD but instead of over flowing I now have "breathing" room. ;)

This is a very inspiring link-thanks Carla!

I can relate to still seeing my "fat" self in the mirror. Whether at home, or in the dressing room of a store, I can't believe my body is fitting into these smaller sizes. I'm amazed and delighted. Because I want to lose 30 more pounds, I have not bought many clothes, but since I'm a teacher and need to dress up each day, I have a few mix and match so it looks like I have different outfits during the week.
I'm excited to see what size I'll be wearing when I reach my goal! Another weird thing, several of my shoes are now too big!!
Because I don't want to spend money on clothes right now, I have been rewarding myself for every -20lbs I buy a new pair of shoes! 2 new pairs so far!:)

I started a tight 18 and now im a loose 13/14! Hoping to get back to my highschool 11! Or lower! :devil: And shirts I now fit into medium in most stores! Hope the weight loss on my lower half will catch up to the loss on my upper body!

At 250 I was 20 pretty close to a 22 with a shirt size of 1x almost 2x.. Now at 169 and pretty much in a 10/12 shirt size misses medium :)

I started the ideal protein idet at 260lbs at age 25 back in May of 2010, I am 5'10 now at 175 fitting into a 12/14 jean size (depending on where I buy them) and a Medium/Large sized shirt. I feel absolutely wonderful, if anyone tells me that they cannot do this diet I tell them if I can do this anyone can do it!

Did anyone elses feet shrink when on this diet? I have all these cute shoes that dont fit! :)

I started this program on August 24, 2010 and was wearing sizes 18-20 and 1X-2X tops.

Now I have said bye-bye to those sizes. I am able to shop at Reitman's and can fit into their regular size 14 pants. My tops are now a regular size 14.

I have NOT wore these sizes in more than 20 years and I am thrilled. It is exciting to be able to shop at regular stores now and not just at the limited plus size stores here in Canada.

Great forum!!!!

I love this thread. I just started IP as a tight 14 or 16 with XL tops. I am a shopper so this always bothered me. I cannot wait to see what size I am in a few months. I just want options to what I wear, not having to wear the only thing in the store that fits..ya know what I mean?

Before starting IP in July, wore a 2X shirt/blouse and a 20W in pants. I hated to shop and felt terrible. Now, I wear either a L or XL in a shirt/blouse and size 16 in pants. I know that I still have some to lose, but I feel so much better. Now, when I go shopping I don't trust myself and feel out of place in the store. I still am not confident in my accomplishments. I have went through a lot over the last 3-4 months and need to re-commit to the protocol. I hope to get back on track this week and continue in my journey to success.

You will (swift kick) get back on track with this forum. You can do it. So much support and knowledge here. I kinda think it feels like a warm hug. JMO!

I have been shopping in my closet and now fit into some of my clothes. I could not fit into any of the winter pants I own (size 18) until this diet and refused to buy any new ones. Size 1x tops, now I fit into XL.

I can't wait until I can shop in the normal section!

I started out in a 16, and am now in a 10 in jeans/pants. I was in an XL, if not a 1X in tops, sweaters, etc., and now I'm in large, if not medium for a lot of things. I actually bought a medium winter coat that fits great, even over sweaters!

biggirl86 11-14-2010 07:25 PM
I am finally a lovely size 7-8 or 9-19 in jeans, tops medium. I used to be 15 in pants, and XL in tops I am so happy with this change!!

I started out at 200, wearing L-XL tops and size 16-18 pants. Now I'm around 180, wearing M-L tops and size 12-14 pants. I'm halfway to my goal weight, can't wait to see what happens when I reach my goal! :)

Although I'm at my highest weight, 208lbs, and 5'8", my sizes aren't very normal. I'm a medium in victoria's secret panties, and a large in VS tops, a medium in express leggings, a large in express tops. My jeans size is usually an eleven in juniors, sometimes a thirteen in tighter-styles. I feel like they should be bigger considering my weight and BMI? Does anyone know if this just means I have a small bone frame underneath all of this extra weight? What sizes should I be expecting after a fifty pound loss?
