    Hey there...just joining. I am a size 18 now and want to get back into a size 10. Goal to lose 90-95 pounds so I can run again. I read one woman's post about the excess fat functioning as a shield, and I know that is absolutely the case for me, but I can't seem to articulate from what exactly I am trying to hide. So anyway, maybe someday I will feel as good as I did in my profile pic...a blast from my past...only time will tell...

    I'm currently a size 10, yet I'm trying to see if I can get into the single digits. So far I've lost weight, just not in that area. That's what you get with a natural large lower body :grumble:

    Wow. I haven't been in single digit sizes since junior high.

    I have the curse of being "big boned." I know it sounds lame, but it is true. We measured my wrist circumference and it is on the very high end of normal. If I drop below 130 pounds, I stop getting my period. TMI, I know, but that is a sign of unhealthy weight last I checked. I really was happy with myself at a size 10.

    I have a sister-in-law that is like a size zero and a half. Tiny, *tiny*. When we fold the laundry my mom and I keep putting her underwear with my petite 10-year old's (except for the thongs, of course)...She is smaller than her 11-year old step daughter, my biologic neice who is also plagued with northern European "big bones."

    And the horrific thing is that my brother, my niece's father, is giving her a complex about her weight because she has a trace of pudginess in her tummy. He should not be surprised when she develops body dysmorphia and an eating disorder thanks to his behavior...

    I have that big bone curse too, and bulky muscles. My thighs are larger then my moms, and I can't get them to shrink down, even with working out! People say I'm small but I'm a size 10/12 and I cannot for the life of me get smaller from the waist down. Its just my body type
