...my stupid questions have returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK I am reading thru posts and trying to figure out sizes vs lbs.

some people are in the 190's and getting into a 16. Others are in the 160's and getting into a 16. I know everybody is different, but I'm curious.


If I currently weigh 212lbs and can fit a 14, how do i figure out what size i will be if i make it to goal?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

You Will Have To Wait And See. There Is No Way I Can Fit Into A 14 And 212 Lbs. At 212 I Wear A Size 18 Or 20. Im A Lot Shorter Than You So That Has A Lot To Do With It. Where You Hold Your Weight Has A Lot To Do With It Also Cause Some People Might Be Top Heavy Or Vica Versa. You And Me Can Weigh The Same But Maybe You Have A Much Smaller Waist Than I Do And Maybe I Have Smaller Shoulder Than You Do. See What I Mean. Lol But Like I Said Before It Also Has To Do With Height And How You Hold Your Weight. Let Us Stand Next To Each Other At The Same Weight And Totally Diff Height And We Will Look Totally Different.

THATS WHY WHEN YOUR SHORT YOU HAVE TO WEIGH THINNER THAN TALLER PEOPLE. LOL

i know but i wonder. is it like 10-15 lbs per size or something? Is there a formula. i'd be curious to see. if when i started at 258 i was approx a 22, and i am 212 and a 14, thats 4 sizes in 46 lbs so 11.5lbs per size LMAO. so if i get to 150 i will be -62lbs which should be...ok i lost my place. there has to be a way for me to figure this out LOL!


( I'm such a control freak )

Kenya, you're too cute! I have been through this 100 times with myself trying to figure it out. I'm not any closer. I weighed in at 212 this morning also and I'm just getting into 16's. There are a lot of factors. I think once you get lower than a 16, it does come out to about 10 lbs./size though.

The other problem is that different clothing lines run differently. My friend who is at goal says that she wears anything from a 10 to a 14 depending on who makes it. So the truth is, there may not be any one answer to your question. You may be wearing multiple sizes. I know...it drives me crazy too. I want an answer!!

The absolute truth is it doesnt bother me at all. Not knowing where i will end up is kind of exciting. Ive been a control freak for most of my life and its a relief to HAVE to let go of that and leave it all up to the forces of nature LOL!

I try to make people giggle through out thier day. I am confident that that is my calling in life lol. this journey is very difficult; more for some than others, and if i can make one of two of you smile,chuckle, and or belly laugh; then ive done what i am supposed to.

as far as the sizes, i dont care. im very happy and much healthier for choosing this option. smaller than i was when i started too i'll know what size i am when i get to the end and feel comfy with myself

KENYAR its all were our fat is....
I must be built like u some!
I was in the 14's at the 210 range.....
now that im in the 170's daily
i fit in a size 8...(stretch). I have
very thin legs (so they say) and for me
to get the right fit i need to wear tight in the waist
so the legs arent BAGGY!
i bet your gonn get real slim and trim!
BEING our bodies are all fat differently
it makes the sizes work differently.
I carried it all in my gut...

I will add that sizes go faster once your at size 14
and about 10 to 15 lbs is a size like u said
my legs and my butt werent
to bad for a 300 pound gal!

Just how tall are you gals????? I'm in a size 22 at 225 lbs. There's no way I'm going to be in a 14 until I'm around 160. Geesh.
