I haven't been below 200 pounds for over 20 years. And now I have achieved this. I still have a long way to go ,but I know if I keep plugging along even if is a pound or two a month I will reach my goal.
I'm not sure how to relate this as guys don't figure an overall body size.
At my largest I wore a 4 X-Large / X-Long shirt and trousers with a 48 inch waist & 32 inch inseam.
Currectly, I wear a 3 X-Large / X-Long shirt and Trousers with a 42 inch waist & it appears my legs are getting shorter, LOL! (It is amazing how the outward reach of the waistline will add to the inseam.
My goal is to get down to a 2 X-Large shirt and ttrousers with between a 32 to 36, inch waist.
If all goes as planned. I will end with weight loss totaling between 100 and 130 pounds. (That would leave me between 225 and 255.)
- to be able to walk into Hot Topic and buy a NIN t-shirt.
- to be able to shop in the petite section and buy pants that fit me.
- to not fear the words, "free t-shirt."
- a size that I can maintain with moderate exercise.
- to wear ladies tops that have cute little short sleeves.
- to wear ballet slipper type athletic shoes. Right now they look ridiculous.
- to be able to go into thrift stores and assemble outfits that I love. Right now, I settle for what will fit.
I've been in the plus size W section at a size 20 for almost a decade. I can't wait to get to 16-18 misses sizing and then go from there. Size 20 for me has a range of 45 pounds and the clothing is either too snug to be comfortable or baggy and frumpy.
I have one outfit hanging in my closet that I would like to wear by early July. 18 misses capri pants, and a misses 1x top. Once I reach this size, I can graduate out of the W section at the store
I started wearing a 22, and dropped back to 20 during induction.

I am almost there, 5 more pounds to go. I have no idea what size I wear as the new clothes I bought a month ago no longer fit and are too big. I wont go to the store until I hit that last 5lbs. Too be honest I am a little nervous but my new expensive, fancy jeans that I wanted are in sight now.
Mini Goals 139- Met 2/10/10 135- Met 2/25/10 130- Met 3/21/10 129- So I can say I am in the 120s- Met 3/29/10 128.7lbs yay 125- 4/20/10 5 to go! 120 Goal!-
I started as an 8 pushing a 10 in some manufacturers. I am now a 6 in my work pants. A couple of 4's.
I am not focused on the size but have 3 pairs of pants that are too snug that I wore pre-baby. I would like to get into them confortably.
There are a couple of cute old navy shorts I would like to wear size 6's in. But now the 8's fit great.
My original goal was 133. Then I changed my mind to 129. And then stopped having a plan. All I know is I am in the 134's now and still not happy. Well I am, but I still don't like the way I look. I am at 80% satisfaction!
I tried on a pair of jeans that I used to love to wear! They still don't fit perfect but Im almost there! And once I get there (maybe a couple more months) I will buy all brand new jeans. I went from a size 12 to an 8 since march 1st.
Soooo a size 6 is in my future!!! Wait for it.......ahhh there. lol
HW-162/SW-152/CW-140/GW-130...and than some later if needed!

What was that line Dolly Parton had in Steel Magnolias (talking about shoes) " I wear a size 6. but a size 8 feels so good, I wear a size 9."
I have a pair of 40" jeans that I can get on... BUT, breathing and moving thing I have to master while wearing them!
I'm looking for a pair of used (or cheap) 38s so I can hang them on my wall and try them on every now and then.
Next yard sale I have 5 or 6 pairs of 48s I'm going to sell. (Really, for those people who aren't working on loosing the weight, those "plus" sizes are a rare yard sale find.)
Well... I was 16 last summer.... Now 14-12.... And my dream size is golden 10!!! Not saller.... but perfect and so desirable 10....
Can only dream now to fit into those jeans which woun't look like a bed sheet when I take them off ...
