how tall are you? do you have any qualms about sharing what size clothing you wear? i always just wonder about people's sizes when they weigh close to my weight.

[sarack]

that might be weird, ignore if i'm a creeper.

[macpanda]

Ha! No, I don't mind. Y'all already know my weight anyway. I'm 5'3" and I'm hovering around size 20 right now. I was just about to hit 22 in pants before we started the challenge on here. I carry most of my weight in my belly area..and face.

More info if you find it interesting - My heaviest on record was 246 in 2004 and I was between size 24 and 26 in the belly. I lost 90lbs in '05 and got down to 156/size 10/12 with diet and an insane amount of exercise. Held that about a year and started gaining again. Met H at 190 and it's been uphill ever since. I have thyroid and iron issues not to mention no time to workout anymore. Sorry if that's TMI.

[sarack]

nope, that's good to know. i weigh 225 and i am 5'1.5 and i wear an 18 and xl in some shirts and large in others. lowest to date is my weight now. well besides as i got fat growing up. heaviest was 375. i could barely fit in my worn 28s.. it was a sad time.

[sarack]

and as you can tell, my top is the small part, my lower tummy, ass, hips, thighs are the 'problem' area.

You have seriously done amazingly well getting to where you are now. Honestly, if we're going to go slightly stalker -esk...You have been an inspiration to me for several reasons. 1. I thought you were totally gorgeous in all your GG shots when she first posted them. I was in awe by your confidence to do boudoir and you looked HAWT! 2. We I got back on this board later and heard/saw your amazing weight loss I was like DAMN. I should seriously get my act together because look at everything you have accomplished.

So having been through a major loss and gain - don't take for granted what you have accomplished thus far. Buy that pink dress and wear it proudly! I'm not sure I was even happy with myself at my lowest and I regret that to an extent. Do whatever you can to keep the lifestyle changes in tact.

[sarack]

aww, you are so sweet! thank you so much. it means a lot to me. i'm proud of you getting back on it and i promise that once i'm back from vacation, i will be trying right along you ladies.

[sarack]

oh, and i did buy that dress. i went last night, didn't even try it on again, grabbed it off the rack and took it home. i totally plan to wear it. WOOT!

[sarack]

jennuinne- i think that me and you are built VERY similarly. but are your legs big like mine? i didn't notice that when i met you.

[macpanda]

Yes, it is great knowing that other people have gone through this and understand what you're going through! Jenuinne (and post-vacay Sarack) lets kick some booty for ourselves in this challenge.
