highest ever weight: 233
at start of fat flush: 203

just over six months to go from 203 to 150. Lost 4 more pounds and two more dress sizes on FFP maintenance. Stable at 146-ish and size small. <cue the dancing and prancing music!>

edited to add: I'm 5' 8"

I find this post fascinating.

I am 5'4".

My high point was 245 size 20/22/

I a currently at 200 size 16 depending on the manufacturer. I just tried on a pair of 16's in my closet the still have another 2" to go before they will button or zip. Yet others are getting loose.

The smalllest size I remember ever wearing was a size 10/12 even when I weighed 120 lb.

Have sizes gotten larger over the last 25 years?

They sure have. It's called vanity sizing. Today's size 6 would have been a 10 15 years ago.

yes indeed it's getting more interesting with every post, oh congrats to all so FAR!!!!

Hi all,

I am 46. Started at 282. I am 5'2". I am a 3x. I am down to 272.
Heres my measurements when I started: B57, W48, H58 .
I am now B56 W46 H57 So I have lost a few inches a 10 pounds .Been doing since Jan 06. I am extremely small boned. Doc says I should be no more than 115 lbs. You do the math. Bottom line I am really fat. But getting smaller. I want to be at my goal weight by May 12-07. One of my sons is getting married and I want to surprise him.

Hi what a great post
congrats to all the losses so far.

I'm not sure about sizes because our sizes are very different from the US. smallest here for adults is a 6 but that's rare, usually shops go to a size 8. my 14yo teen fits into a 6 but shes tiny and only about 100lbs. and 5'5

As for me
Started End Dec 05 so going for 3 and a bit months
Start weight 185lb
currenty 164
.....so 21lb in 3 months. so it's slow but steady ( i stalled for half of jan and all of Feb)
Height 5'8 Size 14-12 aust size

it's inspiring all the posts on this thread. makes me realise that w/l is not an overnight thing and that if you stick to the plan eventually you'll get there.

hope to reach my goal by end of june 06 which will be 6 months.

Dont Feel so bad....people at my weight and height in a size 14 really gets to me but...maybe they are really top heavy! I know I can comtimes wear a size large top, I carry all my wight in ass and hips! hate that! Flat ass might I say.... Hang in there! I'm sure you look wonderful...be happy your no longer a size 20. Also...at the size you are now I'm sure you find some good sales! Those sizes are all I see on sale racks. Keep it up!


Miss Sherry! You are melting! I remember when you hit 125...now to 119 you are a fantastic role model!

My goal is to make it back down to a size 10. A size 8 would be great but I think I will be too thin as I am tall 5'8''. Last time, I was a size 8 people asked if I had an eating disorder, I was so bony. Right now, I am between a 16-18, so size 10 sounds heavenly.

One question, have you done any weight training? I think that's the best way to go down in size as your body becomes more compact for your weight. Just an idea.

Hey I have a question for all you losers! LOL! I get a kick out of saying that! My goal is to be 115 or less and a size 6. I know that is awful tiny but ........ I believe its possible. My sister in law who has the same bone structure and frame as I do is a size 4 and takes a small in everything. She is not as big busted as I but the same in everything else. I have alays had big boobs.So is my goal realistic?? I am going to shoot for it anyways. We shall see. Imagine from a 24-6 WOW it almost seems impossible.

highest weight was 301 lbs in oct 2002 (size 26 pants and xxxL shirts)! I did atkins for a year and got down to 220 lbs by oct 2003 (size 20 pants and XL shirts). Then i found out i was pregnant, gained pregnancy weight..stayed off the woe for TOO long and gained most of it back!
I restarted Feb 22, 2006 weighing 288 lbs (size 24, xxxl shirts) and am now down to 269 lbs (xxl shirts, size 20)..
I am 5' 9 1/2" and my goal is 150 and size 8 (6 would be awesome, but not sure if possible) i have a medium bone frame!

At your height though I bet 120 is pretty darn thin.

I think it is doable. I have 115 as a goal but since that is only 4 lbs away I may go lower as I still could go smaller...

Awww Thanks!
