    Also, you guys are reading just a bit heavier then me and say that your wearing a size 20 and can fit into a size 18! Jeeze,... When I started at
    226lbs I was busting out of a size 20 or so, and now at 180lbs I am just now able to wear a size 20pants... Really pushing it in a 18 though...

    Guess shape really dose make a huge difference in things...
    Yeah that proves it right there - it's all about the shape of your body, baby! Not your actual weight!.....to a certain point of course.
  • kisskiss- I don't think I'm smaller than you, I think you look great!
    and mudskippergrl- you're right, if I've learned anything from this it's all about shape.

    This site is cool, I think that's the one you were talking about.

    OP, You are freaking fantastic and hot!
    I'm 5'8" and weighed 200 (down to 195 now), wanted to lose 55lbs and be 145. after looking at this site, I think I want to look like the 160lb girl.
  • Quote: I wear a 20 right now since about 280 lbs... I can squeeze into an 18. but it makes my muffin top violent. Haha.

    And that 3rd girl in that picture sure looks a lot more then 235 lbs.... ?
    I seriously would have guessed like atleast 260 ...Maybe I'm crazy
    I tried a size smaller jean the other day, it turned 'muffin top" to the WHOLE sheet cake...lol
  • Kelly, Like someone else mentioned, you have a nice hourglass figure. I'm jealous of your flat stomach. At 210 lbs, I don't have anything close to a flat stomach. I do have a could photos of me at 240 without a shirt on that if I get brave enough I may post once i get home. The truth lives on...we all do carry our weight differently!

    Lmao I hear you sistah!
  • borntofly- no need to be brave, it's about as safe as it gets here on 3fc

    you're so right Kelly. I will post some....How do I make it so that the photo's are not so large?
  • Kelly I know exactly what you mean! I've often had the same thought. I just chalked it up to delusional thinking. Probably the same thinking that didn't allow me to realized I had jumped from 140lbs to well over 200

    Anywho.. heres me at 5'6" and 240...


  • I hope this worked, I went to a photo edit website so the pics weren't huge.
