    You know me..... I have a weird question again :)

    What do you guys think the dress size of a 5'1" girl would be if she was at her goal weight of 130???? I am wondering if that might be to small for my personality. At least that is what my friends and family seem to think. I am hearing that 150 would be better, or it just wouldn't be Missy.... Weird, huh?? What do you guys think? I care more about what you all think than those goof balls anyway

    Re: You know me..... I have a weird question again

    I think it is totally up to you and where you feel comfortable once you get there. It sounds like people are associating your weight with your personality - but that shouldn't be the case with anyone! Mabye people are threatened by your weight loss (it happens).

    As for sizes and heights, I have no idea - but I know the range can differ a lot by person, especially if they work out a lot, they may be in a smaller size, but weigh more than expected.

      I think 130 is very realistic for someone 5'1" tall. Do you want to be the 'old' Missy or do you want to be the 'new and improved, healthy' Missy? I can't begin to predict what dress size you'll be because of so many variables. I can't even predict what dress size I'll be. Usually on Atkins, your dress size will be smaller than it would on a low fat, low calorie diet for the same weight. That's if you are doing it properly including exercise.

        You guys are so awesome. I have been going to the gym at least 1hr and 15 minutes every day since Thursday. I am so excited about it. I can't help but think I might be doing something wrong though. I have only lost 9 pounds. WEIRD to me........

          I'm 5"1 1/2" and my present weight is 130, as to where I'm mostly ok with this weight, my ideal goal is 125, I was at that weight a few years ago, and its a comfortable weight for me - especially during the summer around the pool. As for size of clothes - it depends on style and where I got them - usually a size 6 pants - 10 top (i'm heavy breasted). I did just buy to pairs of 4's , they fit - but will fit better once I loose those last 5 pounds.


          Its not up to anyone else - its all up to how you feel about yourself

              Re: You know me..... I have a weird question again

              i am 5'6" and wear a 6 on the bottom but NO WAY can i wear a 6 on the top. wide shoulders and long arms.........you will know when you get "there" where you want to be because you will feel it. truly, i don't pay too much attention to the number on the clothing tag. i found that different clothing lines are not all created equal. some stores a 6 is fine, and others i need an 8 and alterations....it just depends. you'll know.

              stay excited about the exercise...THAT is where you see the most results. lots of people lose and lose WELL without it. but remember that muscle burns fat and a pound of muscle looks smaller than a pound of of fat. it's all good!

                Ya know.. If truth be told, I am more concerned about inches than pounds anyway. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that

                  Re: You know me..... I have a weird question again

                  My sister is 5'1" and she keeps her weight at 120 to 125 and looks great. She is a very shapely girl and works out in the gym a lot. I myself am 5'4" and have been 150 but found myself a little too thick in the way that my clothe does not fit me comfortably. I'll be happy if I reach 130, I'm currently 177. Yes, I've let myself go... alot!

                  Oh, about the dress size. This does differ, as I've seened my sister buy some small and medium size clothe. It all depends on how the clothe fit your body. You may see that two people that weigh and measure the same may buy the same dress in the same size and just becauses the shapes of the bodies differ a little, it may fit one of the girls better than the other. I hope that this info helped a little. Keep up the good work!

                    Re: You know me..... I have a weird question again

                    I'm 5' 5" and my goal weight is 135, although I felt the best when I weighed 125. I figured that I'd get there and decide. My thoughts are that it's up to you.

                    When friends or family show concern that you'll become too slim, I believe it's a sign that they fear there will be a change in the dynamic of your relationship with them. For instance, if your friend has felt superior because you have a weight problem, if the problem goes away, how will she feel superior? If you have a significant other, they may be concerned that you will now be attractive to other men, and maybe they won't look so good to you when you're thin.

                    Another angle of friends, that fear you'll get "too slim" could be related to issues that they are not dealing with themselves. For instance, if you have a friend with a drinking problem, she might fear that once you get your act together, you'll expect her to do the same. That you'll expect the same responsibility and control from her, that you just proved you can do by getting to goal weight.

                    It doesn't mean that they are bad or mean people if they're afraid, it just means they're human. Get to a size that you are comfortable with, and then prove to them that you still love them, and you're the same person you've been all along.

                      Re: You know me..... I have a weird question again

                      Thanks so much everyone. I try to keep in mind I am doing this for me and not them. I do think it has a lot to do with them not wanting me to be smaller than them. They have become comfortable with the idea of me being the heavy one. To be frank, I am so tired of it. I am so sick of hearing, there is no way you will lose that much weight, and that I have set an unrealistic goal. Well.... we will see what happens. Maybe I need to find different people to hang around, that will support me. I dunno.................
