Right now I weigh 138 and my size 10s fit fine. Hmmmm.Dreysander wrote: »Ugh it's so frusterating to me that people my height and weight are so much smaller than I am.
Some of this will also depend on bodyfat% and how much muscle a person carries. Muscle is denser than fat, so it takes up less space for the same weight. I know I would never be a 4/6 pants at 147 pounds if I hadn't been doing strength/resistance training for the past two years.
I have a large amount of just excess grossness on my abdomen from being so overweight. I fear that the only way to truly get rid of it will be to have it cut off.
Yeah you and me both!0 -

I got lucky, no belly-flap, though I have some cottage cheese on my midriff but that could be age also. I'm too old for surgery and it is so expensive. I wish you the best of luck! You're young so that works in your favor!0 -

It can't be that bad honey...give yourself time...how long have you been consistently working at it?
This year is the year that I've lost most of the weight. I started in January at 215 lbs. Didn't do any kind of weight training or resistance over the summer, just recently started that.

American size 12 in pants, large or XL for tops (38DDD)1 -
It's so interesting to read this...
I'm 5'2''
180 lbs
Size 10 bottoms, 12 if it's a formal pant. M-L top depending on the cut.
My butt and legs are probably the same as they were pre-babies. I'm carrying an extra 40 pounds that feels it is all in my belly, back and arms.
I think my pants fit because my tummy is so squishy it just folds into itself.
I'm at least 15 pounds heavier now than the last time I wore my 10's....
It's all so bizarre.0 -

It's amazing how everyone carries their weight so differently. I'm 5' 2.5", 184 lbs this morning (thank you regain!). I'm 46-35-43 & am in that awkward stage where my 16's are now too big & I can fit into my 14's, but I squish a little over the top. I have to wear form fitting shirts (XL of course due to the girls) or I just look like a shapeless blob. I prefer not to have any muffin top showing, so right now I'm just tugging my pants up every time I stand up. Even when I was at my preferred weight of 150 lbs last year, I was still wearing a 12 in jeans & XL tops (my chest doesn't really go away).
