Re: What is the most weight someone has lost?

[Guest guest]

Hello Dee,

Even if you're only 5'4 " what you should weigh might be different

than someone else that is also the same height. My dr has said that

the size of your frame makes a big difference. Someone with a small

frame (bone structure) can safely weigh less than someone with a

large frame that is the same height. If you read some of the

messages on the board you'll notice that some people will be about

the same height and weight and yet wear different sizes because of

their frame. Me for example have wide hips, my doctor said that

I'll lose weight and hopefully get down to between 170 - 180 (I'm

5'10 " ) but with my large bone structure that would be good for me.

Whats good for one person doesn't always work for someone else.

Good luck

that's some incredible w l!! a surgeon @ a meeting said that the

Bell curve is 85% of excess weight lost, & that 50% will lose more &

50% will lose less.
