,

I am 5ft 1 and should weigh between 130 to 133 lbs according to

the charts. I am also on the big boned side. 120 lbs on me makes me

look sick. But I have also heard that it takes some time after we loose

the weight to look less gaunt so it maybe just a matter of time. I'm not

sure why that is. It just maybe that we loose so quickly that it takes

time for the body to redistribute itself.

I have a theory that those who are close to us and knew us for years as a

MO person will see us as too thin before anyone else will because they were

so used to us being really heavy. I am still about 25 lbs away from where

I want to be, and I have friends and family telling me all the time, " Now,

don't lose too much! " and, " Why do you want to lose anymore? You're thin

enough! " The other part of my theory is that we are, in general, a much

larger-sized society, with 60% of adults overweight - so when you are at a

healthy weight, you can appear underweight to many people because they're

used to seeing so many overweight people.

Sally, I think you are so right. I am hovering around 194-197lbs. I

need to lose a good 60 pounds. Yet everyone says I have lost enough

& I am getting too thin. TOO THIN at 194 lbs. Yeah, right.

Compared to my before pics, yeah, my face is thin & I am sure

everyone who knew me MO thinks my face is sinking in. LOL

Lorraine

I am in the same boat Lorraine... I am hovering about 185-190 and I am being

constantly told not to lose anymore weight.. I am thin enough and " when you

can have your plastic surgery done, you wont have the need to lose that

addtional 40-50 pounds " . once told me to say that thank you for your

concerns, but my doctor and I are working on this issue together. Sometimes this

works , and people stop trying to tell me what they think .. other times, it

doesnt. I usually say thank you for your concerns and leave it at that and

continue to do what I am doing.. water, protein, vites and exercise.. and

praying

that I will keep seeing the scale move downward.. plastic surgery or not..

Hang in there my friend, and I pray that you will be able to shed that

stubborn few pounds. You are a success no matter what.. look how far we have

both

come..

Take care

Peachy hugs,

Your theory makes a lot of sense. I have heard that there are some

designers who have made changes to their sizing to make women feel

better about themselves. For example a size 8 might have been a

size 10 many years ago. As a society, you are correct, we are

getting used to super sized everything!

Right now, I'm wearing everything from a 10 to a 14 - I have loose 10's and

a tight 14. Go figure. Wouldn't be nice if there was some consistency to

women's sizing? At least guys know exactly what to expect if they get 30 "

waist pants or a shirt with a 16-1/2 " neck. And I've noticed that the

" better " clothes seem to be larger, and the " cheaper " clothes tend to run

smaller (though not always).

Let's not even go into S,M,L,XL....
