Hey, AvengeRosco here!
I'm new here and would like some friends I can relate too.
Height: 5"1
My Current Weight: 135lbs
My Goal Weight: 125lbs
My Ultimate Goal Weight: 118lbs

I'm 20 years old and have been overweight since I was 8 years old. I wasnt aware of the large amounts of carbs and sweet food I ate yet I was always bigger then my peers. In my mind I was always the fat one, and all the boys I fancied like someone else who was way better looking and slimmer. Throughout my life I've been called fat, chunky etc even my dad dropped hints.. And said Im winning a loosing battle. (great support eh?!).. At my heaviest I was 161lbs, I'm a size 12 on top and my lower half is a cursed 16.. Only problem is my thighs are HUGE.. Rant over.. Anyone relate, or wanna chat on MFP? :)

    HI! I'm a long pair shape!!
    5 foot 9 and 154lbs would like to be 140lbs!
    I'm 47 and I used to be size 8 top and 10 bottom but after 4 children I am now 10-12 on top and I now my size 16 jeans feel too tight! I lost a lot off my thighs 2 years ago doing Dukan but it's slowly creeping back on!
    I used to eat lots of sweet stuff but I walked/cycled everywhere and and it didn't seem to stick to me! Unfortunately, I think everything I've eaten in the last 10 years has stuck to me from my waist to my knees!
    I've had a real eye opener logging on food, it's been a surprise how unbalanced my eating had become!
    Good luck!
    (These are UK sizes btw!)

    i can definitely relate! i am now about 147lbs, 22yrs old. 5'1. my heaviest was actually 160 ... ive gotten myself down to 129! however as you can see my weight is coming back up! . i do so good for a long period of time and then just fall off! and gain it all back. im really getting tired of it. and i know i need to get better control. my goal weight is 115 (maybe bigger/smaller) my main issue is and always has been my stomach :( even when i got down to 129 i still had a pretty big tummy which stinks! but i want to do it! good luck!

    I can't believe that I haven't seen your reply. See I've lost weight since this post but the weight is coming off slowly!!!

    Hows your progress going.

    Hey sorry for the '6months too late reply' but I see what you're saying. May I ask what Dukan is? Yes logging has made me realise that I ate soo much crap and some of the foods I didn't realise were so detrimental.
    Any progress in the past months??
    Best of luck!

    I'll give you an add!

    I'm very pear shaped, but we can all even it out as long as you wear brighter/patterned items on top and darker/plainer bottoms.
    I find tops that come in just below the bust or stop below my hips help to balance out my shape...

    Hope this helps xx

    I can totally relate. I'm 5'1", started at 160-ish losing weight. I'm down to 131 now, but I still think my thighs are pretty big.

    I'm hoping that when I get to my goal weight of 115, my body will even out a bit more.

    For me, I have a hard time being short and pear-shaped because I think it tends to make people think I'm even more overweight than I am.

    I'm defo pear shaped. Though I've gotta say, I started doing this Brazil Butt Lift at home workout program by Beach Body about three weeks ago to target my lower body and I can already see a big difference. I don't mind being heavier on bottom, but I want it to be toned muscle and not flabby fat. In three weeks plus counting calories here, I can see improvement in tone, reduction of cellulite, a better shape for my butt and I've lost inches around my thighs! Pretty pumped about it.
