Re: Anyone Else My Size?

Don't worry whereami and JaxMama, we will soon get there. All we need to do is suck it up and hope for weight/fat loss. Lets just keep our eyes on our goal and what could be our terrific results. Just imagine...

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

Hey ladies- 5'4 and currently 125. Just got a lot at myself in a full length mirror in skinny jeans and a tight shirt...

It was a tragedy.

Hoping to get to 115 at some point this century...
If we stick to it we can all get there!! It just take determination...and veggies

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

I am 5'5 and 131 right now. I want to get down to 120. Not much further to go. I was 150 when I started at the end of Jan. I have went from a size 10 down to 6-8 depending on brand. I would like to get into a 4-6 comfortably. I can fit in some 4s but other brands a 6 is too tight. It is very frustrating.

I must have lost a good 5lbs in boobs (sigh) My bra size was a 36C now I am back down to 32A. I see training bras in my future lol.

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

I'm around 5'4", 117 lbs. and trying to lose more weight but am not sure if am putting my health at risk. Had a gallbladder attack after being on Atkins for almost a year, have to reduce my fats now. Now I have yeast problems and must limit my foods even more (no cheese, sour cream, or vinegar products!). I try to eat more healthy carbs but seem to gain weight. If I eat just vegetables, I feel so hungry and bored with them, they just aren't as enjoyable anymore without being able to use sour cream dip or cheese. I sure do miss whole grain foods! Not sure if it's we are putting our health at risk by limiting our food so extremely, is it worth being skinny?

Have you had your body fat % analysed? That should tell you how close to being underweight you are. The caliper test done by a trained person should be accurate enough, but a 'dunk tank' is supposed to be the best method.

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

Since I last posted I am able to fit into most of my old clothes but still mostly a 6/8. Which is great. My BMI is 22.2 which is right in the middle of a normal weight. Very happy with my progress but not completely satisifed. But I feel great & my attitude is so much better and that means a lot to me.

I don't know if my body can handle a size 4 with my bone structure and I am not willing to die trying.

Best luck ladies

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

That's awesome Jax! Keep up the good work! Hubby mentioned to me that he can really tell that I'm loosing. My 5's are soo loose and falling off. I have some 3's that I used to wear before I had my son and they fit, so am happy about that. Hubby and I went to St Augustine to celebrate our anniversary this past weekend and I let my self go a little and had a few drinks with Hubby. I ate on plan and didn't get too carried away with the drinks. Let me tell you, it was torture watching Hubby eat some pasta dish. Overall had a great time! Now it's back on plan and no drinks for a while. (I enjoy red wine)

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

mfit you are at goal, that is awesome, you are sooo tiny. btw i went to college in st augustine. glad you had a good time, it's a beautiful city.

i made spaghetti squash for dinner and hubby thought it "wasn't bad." so i dont have to be tortured watching him eat spaghetti. honestly it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about ingesting white carbs....i am becoming an atkins snob.

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

Haha, I know what you mean about being a food snob. I heard my friend used 5 packets of sugar in the raw in her coffee. I did a double take and said, "Really. REALLY?" and I went on an educational tirade on the effects of sugar and refined carbohydrates on populations. It was a bit much, but she forgave me. Today she only used 4...

[JaxMama]

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

LOL, 4-5 packets of sugar, wow. that is the equivalent to my 3 packs of splenda. i like sweet cream with my coffee

i had a co worker say she is going to try low carb again when she goes on vacation... i asked her, why not today? she couldn't answer me. i felt bad, but don't push. lead by example and there will be followers.

Thanks! I would like to loose a bit more. Mostly inches but overall i'm happy. It's an awesome feeling wearing a pair of jeans and they feel so loose on you. I went out and bought myself a few new clothes this weekend and it felt awesome! You sound like you are on the right track and loosing as well. Congrats!

Re: Anyone Else My Size?

I'm 5'3 120 lbs but would like to loose some more weight. Anyone else?

Yes, I'm close.
5'2", 121 lbs (today), and my goal for now is to go down to 107 or so. I weighed between 100 and 105 most of my college years, then in my 20's I began weight training. I was 98 lbs, ripped, and I ate pretty much anything I wanted within reason. Age and life caught up with me eventually, though.


I'm now 50 (which shocks me). I got down to the 100-105 range again a couple years ago on a low-ish carb plan, but fell off the wagon. I want to get back into the bikinis and size 4 and 6 jeans I bought back a couple years ago. My current body fat % is 31%, so it isn't like I'm trying to do anything crazy.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I'm 42 and it was sure easier for me to stay at a my goal when I was younger. I had my son 3 years ago and found that it was much harder loosing the weight (the last 10 lbs)
