Large Framed Women

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.
