jeans are getting looser
 

the size 2 jeans from american eagle that i am wearing today are lose! :D At one point they were very tight and i thought i was going to go up to a 4, but i put them on today and they were lose, and i should have worn a belt with them because i had to keep pulling them up all day. i was pretty excited that the diet was finally starting to work b/c i really hadnt noticed any difference when i looked at myself in the mirror but i guess i have gotten a little smaller :)

Now, um, I don't mean to be snarky, but are you trying to disappear? I don't remember all the facts and figures, but didn't you say in another post that your doctor told you you were already on the low side for your height?

okay umm well im sorry if i offended anyone by that post, i was really excited by that though. I'm short and gaining a couple pounds can make me look and feel huge. and i am finally losing some weight and i was happy, but if that offends people then i just wont post on here anymore.

Sorry annonymous_girl I didn't mean for you to take that the wrong way. In no way did you offend me or did I mean for you to leave - everyone is welcome here and I am very happy to hear that you pants are loser. But don't try to lose too much weight. I don't know if you read the post in the support form by veggielover - but she wants her weight back. I suggest you give it a read.

I really do want to say sorry for making you think I wanted you to leave. It is hard for us who have so much to lose to read about people lower then our goal weight wanting to lose weight. Sometimes it is hard for us to understand - again I did not mean to offend you in anyway.

And sometimes it is very frustrating to read about people who are prefectly healthier who think they are not. So again, I am VERY sorry please don't run away because of me!

You have got it all wrong. No one is offended by you posting here. I for one, just don't want to encourage someone who is already practically underweight, to lose even more weight! There are just too many "anonymous girls" out there that weigh too little and are starving themselves to get even smaller!

I am 5'2 and weigh 159. i wear a size 11/12 jeans. maybe the sizes in the states are very different or something or height plays a huge part in weight and clothing size.

also I am not offended at all and didn't mean to sound that way if I did. I was just saying that to me personally it seems weird that someone as small as you would be here at all...not that you don't have the right to be here. Does that make scense to you at all?

*sigh* agreed... thanks for wording that better then I ever could have!

Hey HeatherR I am 5'2 as well! And will probably be similar in size to you at the same weight. I remember at 170 I was a size 13ish. - best of luck to you!

Thanks Courtnie!

heh! and just noticed you are from bc too! what a beautiful day! (at least here anyway, haha)

LOL..yup it's nice here today too. I'm on Vancouver Island. You?

Vancouver Island....

okay like a year ago i basically had an eating disorder. i started out at like 105-110lbs and then not because i thought i was fat but because of stomach problems i didnt eat because it hurt to eat and i went down to 90lbs and was underweight and then i starting taking medicine for my stomach and went up to 130. and it was very frustrating to go from being very thin to 130lb and i know that prob sounds dumb and that isnt even that much but after weighing so little it felt like a lot and i had gone from a size 00 to like a 4 then i fit into a 2 and i was just very happy when they started getting lose. and im sorry if i did upset or frustrate anyone by saying that b/c i know i have a friend who is like 110 and says she should lose weight, when that is around what i wish i weighed, what i did before everything happened, so again i am sorry if i offended, frustrated, or upset anyone.

Well, yesterday I had on size 3 jeans and a size 5 top.
When I came here I weighed 157 lbs. I learned a lot. A lot about weight loss, fitness and healthy lifestyle in general.
I'm staying now because I can help and because I need to learn to maintain and because I enjoy the folks and because I love weight lifting.
If we can help one young gal learn to be healthy and enjoy the marvelous machine that is her body, does it matter what she looked like when she came here?

annonymous_girl - you have no need to say sorry! none at all :) I understand too how frustrating it would be to be used to being so small. And I am very happy you are starting to feel better about yourself! But isn't it nice to have bigger boobs? hehe I would at least think they are bigger then they were at 90lbs....

You can count your pennies that I will still be here even when I get to my goal weight! I love it here!

haha well i dont have very much there at any weight. lol

ohhh okay, cuz I know that I would miss my boobs... I mean well i want some to go away cuz they are toooooo big! but if they get to small, I am going to stop losing weight even if I am still fat!

mine are too big too. I am scheduled for breast reduction surgery on May 5th.
It will be done right in your town Courtnie :)

Best of luck Heather! be sure to let us know how it goes! I know at times I have thought about reduction surgery - but I am sure that I am going to lose some weight up there. And I am still younge!

Mine shrunk and nobody was more surprised than me! I used to go to a specialty lingerie store and pay wads! for bra's. Now? Walmart! 34B

I can not WAIT for that! So long I have wanted to buy all these cute little bra's from wal-mart... but how am I supposed to cram my huge melons into those tiny things!

My boyfriend would like them smaller so he can grab onto both at the same time and not have to use two hands on one, lol

ROFLMAO............unfortunatly for me mine do not shrink much with weight loss. I am really looking forward to my surgery. This is actually my second one. I had it done at 22 before I had any kids, but with my weight gains I grew them back lol

Heather - I hope mine will shrink - dont know for sure! does it leave much of a scar? I have a nasty one from my appendix eposide and don't really wanna add to my collection...

Yes there are scars but not any you would notice. The bigest scar runs along the underneath crease of your breast so you wouldn't notice that one at all.

I remember they were smaller when I was at 170 - but I was also younger then too! haha, I will see how it goes anyway! Man if I get down to 130 and they are still the same size I am gonna look kinda funny!

anonymous girl - I am in no way offended by your post, but arent you also the same one that said they were eatting 500 cals a day?

Took the words right out of my mouth. I said before in one of my posts that some girls wanted to be really thin (somebody got offended because I used "pathetically thin" but I didnt mean pathetic, I meant some of the users are teenage girls that generally want to lose way to much, far from healthy)

I wouldnt advise you to lose weight. Its purely aesthetics and unless you're really concerned about fitting into smaller sizes, you should be underweight to start with.

Sotypical did mention my post and its true. I really do want my weight back. I'm short as well, but that doesn't justify a low weight. I can't even fit size 2s because theyre big and i could slide them right off- I really don't like losing weight because I'm already healthy. I can't sacrifice my health because my intention was only to eat better and be more active. I think you shouldn't be occupied with the idea of wearing a bikini on a beach. A diet is a lifestyle- not a temporary fix-me-upper for the summer. Normally, for someone trying to reach a healthy weight, we'd all be happy for that individual if they lost. However, I can't quite cheer you on with your lost pounds because I get this vibe that you do things in a rather unhealthy manner. ( I remember you posting somewhere about eating only 500 calories and never going above 1200- are you going to eat like this for the rest of your life? Cuz if you don't, you'd gain it all back, and if you did, you'd starve to death!) I'm not offended by your posts but I wished today's society was a little less on aesthetics.


I'm really really sorry everyone if anyone finds my comments too critical. The reason being is that I used to be a teenager who felt 90lbs was the only way to go. I can't believe I thought that way (thank god I dont now!) , and I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it....

i too had dropped down as a teenager to 100 pounds and i'm 5 '6. i think another 20 pounds would have looked alot better on me. i didn't have any boobs. everyone i talk to who knew me then...said i was flat on all sides...what a compliment huh?? but when i started losing weight in highschool...i wasn't even really trying to lose weight...i was just embarressed to eat in front of people at school, and i got up so early i didnt' want breakfast first thing in the morning...so i was only eating when i got home from school at 3pm and then again around 6pm. then i even cut out that 6pm feeding after awhile and was only eating once a day. then every time i stood up...i would almost black out...i would have memory losses...i got sick very easliy...and i was sooooo tired all the time. after highschool when i got pregnant...i gained 60 pounds because i started eating more. after the pregnancy...i dropped 20 pounds and weighed about 140.i think i looked pretty good at 140. then i managed to drop to 130 and i think i looked really good at 130.i would have liked to get to 120 but instead over the years...my weight started to fluctuate up. that's why my goal is 130. I think that at 130 i will still have some curves and hopefully a full chest!!! i never want to get to 100 again.....too little for my height. 120 is the lowest i want to go!!

sorry for going on and on about my past weight. but women need to understand...we are suppose to have some fat on us. we should have curves...we are suppose to have hips...and butt...and breast (although...i'd like to have some of that butt...i have NO butt!!!) :)

You don't need to be sorry, everyone has the right to be here. I understand . I am 5'7 and at 154, I wear a size 4 jeans and they are getting loose. I don't really want to be a size 2. The only real reason I am still trying to lose weight is because my doctor set my weight loss goal at 150 and I was angry at him and said I would go for 145. He hasn't seen me since Feb. and next appt. is in June, I'm sure he'll think I'm thin enough when he actually sees me.

yikes!:o :(

Can I just say I understand what you girls mean. you do need to take care with your weight. i've had a weight target for ages and lost alot of weight a couple of years ago. Reached my goal weight and stayed there for ages then its crept back on and Ive regained over a stone.

My aim this time has been to get that off and to reach my original goal weight again, but I had to see my old doctor who I haven't seen in years (I'm with a diff surgery now) on friday when I saw him he wanted to check my height and weight to work out my peak flow for my asthma. I didn't even want to get on the scale because I feel fat still at the moment but when he weighed me I was alot lower than the last time i weighed there and most interestingly he worked out my BMI and told me that the weight I am at now is perfect and I shouldn't think about losing that much more. When I told him I was planning on losing another stone he said that although it would be great for me to go to the gym and tone and lose that way I shouldn't diet that much because it will be detrimental as I'm fine as I am.

I feel really pleased that my weight is at a good level and its given me perspective I've decided my goal weight now isn't the be all and end all its just an incentive to get and stay fit. Society puts pressure on us to be skinny but that isn't necessarily healthy and being the shape of a stick isn't healthy. You should eat a balanced diet and get good nutrition and you can't do that on 500 cals a day. Be careful thats all these ladies are saying and I do agree.

Is a size 2 a UK size 6?

a size 2 is a european size 36 ish (for higher end labels)

:hug:

I know what it's like to gain weight on meds. It is frustrating to go from being thin to being overweight. So congratulations on feeling more like yourself. :)

LOL, maybe it's because the biggest I have been (and am now) is a C that I don't want mine to shrink. I love my boobs though I do remember when they were Bs and Bs are fine.. I still want to keep my Cs at my goal weight (I became a C in the 9th grade and I am finishing out the 12th so maybe they will stay:)).

well.. since we are talkin boobs.. I lost all mine.. from a C to a A.. and thanks to Medical Technology I am a C again ;)

how??? surgery???

Well if it works like that.. I am a tight D now so maybe I will go down to a B - woo! haha Although even at a 170ish I was still a C... so who knows. But I will let all you lady's know once I can get this weight to come off!
