fairykelly13

I'm 5'6" and 32 years old. I went from a size 18 to a size 4. I NEVER thought I would be this tiny!!

I still want to hug my clothes every morning when I see that number :-) haha

I am 5'7" and at my highest weight of about 235 I was a solid size 18 (but was in denial, so squeezed myself into 16's). Now, at 183 I am a solid size 12. Hoping, at goal weight, I'll be around a 6 in most stores. Keep in mind that the larger size you are the slower you will go down in size. They say every 10 lbs is a size, but it took 20 lbs for me to go down a size at my larger weights.

This has been my experience too. I am 5 8 and, at my biggest wore 20. ....fast forward fifty pounds later...I am a size 14.

Well, I am 5"8" and as an adult I have ranged form 10-12. Since I started MFP I have lost 15 pounds and wear 8-9. I don't take pictures though, I am not photogenic. I am not trying to loose anymore weight at this point, I just trying to tone up now.

I think you are VERY photogenic!

I'm 5'7 and started around 235ish. Size was anywhere from an 18W to a 22W. Now I'm an 8 or 10 depending on the clothes. Went from a 2XL tops to M or L. It can be done....

I'm 5'9 and my highest weight was 326. I wore a size 26/28. Now I'm a easy size 18 and some 16's, and weigh 236. I can now shop off the rack at most stores and even own some coveted name brands like Ralph Lauren and Guess! It took a few years to get here because I wanted to maintain the weight loss (my goal is 180-185). I've learned it takes a lifestyle change. I try to eat more "clean" foods. This means fruits, vegi's, meats, beans. Very few processed foods. I try to stay away from the whites (white flour, sugar, salt (although I'm not very good at the salt), white rice, white noodles, mayo, white potatoes, white bread) and instead eat more whole grains, brown rice, whole wheat noodles, etc. I stay away from fried foods and gravy. The more ingredients a product has (especially the ones that you can't pronounce), the more unhealthy it is for you to eat. I've learned that in order to eat foods I enjoy, I needed to work out or become active. I've always hated the gym but bit the bullet and joined one 1 1/2 yrs ago. I started with just the treatmill and elliptical a couple days a week and now I try to go 5-6 days per week and have expanded to treadmill, stairmill, elliptical, cable weight machines, kickboxing class, spin class and yoga. I found that if I can find something I like, I'm more apt to stick with it. I love kickboxing so I go at least 3 days per week to that class.

Having said all that, I don't mean to give you the impression that I never eat bad. I still love my chocolate, I enjoy a baked potato every once in awhile, I have fries and pizza occassionally and if you think I'm going to pass up the gravy on Thanksgiving, you're dead wrong! Lol. Anyhow, it seems to be working for me. Just stick to it. I know it's not easy but trust me, you'll feel better (physically), you'll gain more confidence (especially when people notice you and congratulate you on your weight loss) and you'll be adding years to your life. Good luck!!!

Sorry so long!
