Topic: clothing size vs. weight
i'm getting kinda frustrated, at 167 lbs. i'm still in a size 16, whereas i see people around the same weight wearing much smaller sizes already. i know part of it is my body structure--my hip bones are sticking out so i know my pants sizes can't get too much smaller, but it's still frustrating. i have one pair of sz 14 jeans i can wear, but they're baggy fit. i'm pear shaped, so i'm a size smaller on top (longer tops still have to fit over my breeder hips though, so they end up being baggy).
i know this will probably fuel my frustration, but i'm intensely curious, so if you guys don't mind, will you post your current weight, height, body type (i.e. apple, pear, hourglass) and size (or sizes)?
i'm 167, 5'7.5, pear, 12/14 tops, 16 bottoms.

I feel really bad for you that you feel the way you do. I don't think you're a failure at all. You have lost 90 lbs! That in and of it's self is fantastic. You know that's almost 100lbs? You're only 10 bs away and it will come off if you are still obese. I have lost 111 lbs now and am still considered obese but not morbidly obese. I'm almost just overweight, or is that chubby? Anyways, it's been soooo long since probably you last seen this weight that you are now just be happy and think that it's 90lbs gone forever. Please don't sabotage yourself. Just keep chugging away. I myself have been at a plateau for about 1 and a half months now but sister believe me when I say I will not give up. I absolutely love the new me.
Take care and my heart and prayers go out to you to find peace within yourself.

Topic: RE: My 8 month 2 week check up
Thank you Becky! I am not quite shopping in any store I want yet but my options have greatly increased. Especially because the last 6 months before surgery, I could only shop mail order because the biggest size any store carried was a 30/32 and most didn't fit me anymore. Congratulations to you also!
