Large Framed Women

Yay! I almost never see women on here with my build and goal. I'm 5'8" and goal is 180. Invite me to the group please! I'd love to be able to hear from women with similar weight goals as me. I've gotten along well without them, so far, but it'd be nice to read posts from people I can relate to. :-)

I'm large frame, hourglass, full figure. Never been huge, at 225 I was still a size 18. I carry my weight well, no one ever believes how much I weigh, they say I'm a liar when they find out I weigh over 200 pounds. I also have never been below a size 10, I was a size 10 in 8th grade, I thought I was fat then, boy was I wrong! lol So I am in the same boat as you, just trying to eat healthy and exercise, even if it's just walking. My goal is just to be at a healthy BMI, which is 145 lbs. So I have my GW set as 140. I'm happy to say I am 200.0 lbs as of today and can fit in a size 14 jeans.

Iwould like to join..I'm almost 5'7 and I weigh 296 It's bugging me that i might not be able to get rid of it all.....so im here and i'm trying

Awesome group! I am 5'8" CW 221...before I began mFP, my highest weight was 252. I would love to be 170-180 again, but with a toned body.I will never weigh 140 as suggested! I am an opera singer who needs her body to belt out my songs!
I carry my weight mostly in my upper body!
Cheers to Big Beautiful Babes!

I would like to join the group.
I am 5'6" and 253 lbs. Size 10 shoe,large hands,large wrists, and hourglass shape.

Yayy!! Great group of women, I'm literary n tears I know how u all feel I'm sure we all understand eachother hope we all get to the weight we feel comfortable with. I also experienced the ankle bracelet thing never could buy one that fit lose, I'm stuck I feel ill never lose anything I see tge numbers n there so close 230 -> 190 but then sooo far .. my husband is all for it n my decision of losing some weight even though he says he likes the way I look I'm not comfortable. But he's made a comment about that ill never lose weight, I try so many x's n quit. But I'm gonna try this n hope it wrks. Add me need a lot motivation!

Whoops! Didn't see this and started another thread over in the General section. Would love to join the group, please!

Can you invite me too please! I'm 5'7, I have a size 10 shoe and my hands are bigger than my b/f's who is 6'3. When I was prego and meeting my doc for the first time he asked me to hold out my hands and he stepped back and said "Woah!" I can totally relate to looking 10-15lbs lighter than I really am which I guess isn't really a bad thing ; )

I am 5'1, but my goal is 150 for now because much smaller and I look like a bag of bones.

I would also call myself "large framed" at 5'8". I hit my goal weight of 148 last February from a high of 261. Then I focused on stopping smoking an gained 25 pounds. It's been a year ago today that I stopped smoking to the benefit of both my husband and myself. I'm stable of 166, and while I'd like to lose some more I only have a 28" waist - so the pounds are somewhere. (Unfortunately, I admit I miss my breasts the most =(. )

The scale is only a number, don't let it define who you are or where you want to be.Strive to be healthy and happy - everything else will fall into place.

I so want to be in this group. I am five foot three, have broad shoulder and baby making hips. I currently weigh 232 and my "goal weight is 145. Not sure if I will go that low or not. A few years ago, and two full term pregnancies I was 167 and happy. So we will see how things go.

Hi All,

I am a large framed girl. I am 5'6" currently 220lbs. All through HS I maintained my weight at 170-180lbs, was extremely active, playing various sports. I still remember me getting my last physical with my pediatrician (20 yrs ago) before going off to college and him asking me where I packed all the weight away since I did weigh what I looked like...LOL Bless his heart!

I went through 2 major sports injuries that required surgery and had gone up to 230lbs from limited activity. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes by way of DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis - by body had stopped producing insulin, became acidic and the side effect of DKA is losing weight). For the year up to my diagnosis, I was eating healthy and excising. I was able to get down to 153lbs and into a size 8/10 -- some would thing great....NOOOOO. I looked horribly anorexic -- my rib cage and collar bone were pretending, my face was gaunt. I had to start sleeping with a pillow between my legs because my knees would hurt during the night from them touching each other.

I have just lost 16lbs, currently 220lbs, and can already see my collar bone and when I lay down, by hip bone sticks out. My goal is to get down to what I was in HS....170-180lbs. There is such a thing as big boned!! LOL

Hello!!! I am 5ft9 and weigh 246. I would love to also get to 170, but right now 200 would be excellent! I am also large boned. I have been so mot motivated lately and have got to get with the program. I would love to join also!!

Ok so since I put my calorie intake higher last Sunday iv lost a couple lbs that I gained eating 1360 cal. happy today I weight myself Mondays last wk 230 today 227.eatin 1563 -1700 (bmr 1783 ) So its working!

Dont quit. I get upset also cause I dont think I am losing enough. I did not gain all my weight over night so I try to remember I cant loss it that fast. I am not trying just to fix my weight but also myself. I started lossing when I started exercising.
