Question:
Just wanted to have an idea of what size I might be...
I am currently 5'10, 326 pounds and my goal is to be between 165-175. Is there anyone out ther that is my height with a medium frame that can tell me what size you are and about how much you weigh. I know every one is different I just want an idea. Please help, — Jaime Moore (posted on July 10, 2006)

Hi Jaime - good luck with your journey. I am also 5'10". I started
this journey in October when I had surgery 10/6/06. I weighed in at 308.
I am currently 206 and have lost 102lbs. I am wearing a 14 and 16 -
depending on where i buy it... my goal is 180 right now and then look at
plastic's options. I have considerable amount of hanging skin on my arms
and tummy. I am older than you - 40 - so hopefully you won't have as much
if any. I figure with the next 20lbs - i will settle in the 12/14 range in
clothes. I am so excited right now when i buy a 16. i was in a 32 - so
this is a huge difference. I haven't been this size since I was in
highschool and college. (20 years ago)... Good luck with your journey!!
Blessings,
Anne

Hi Jaime- i had surgery 28 months ago, started out between 380-400
somewhere and dropped over 50 3 months before surgery.On the day of surgery
I weighed in at 328. I currently weigh anywhere between 169 ad 174
depending on the day. I am 6'1 :) As far as size goes now, I will never
be a tiny thin woman. I look great with my height, and wear depending on
who makes the clothes anywhere between a 14-16 and some 18's, but they are
too large for me now. I had stopped losing, was wheelchair bound, but
since april, i am out walkig and driving again and have noticed the
exercise is making me lost about 2 lbs every week or every other week, and
after 6 months the inches are starting to come off again. I dont know what
your visual goal is for size, but if you are able to exercise, DO IT on a
regular basis, and who knows, you can reach your size goal. I just wanted
to look great, and I do. Its doable, but then, I have never cheated once,
hard to believe, but its true and I still only eat what i am allowed, if
its 2 0z or 3 oz, and i still weigh and measure my foods. A lot of post
ops stop doing this and write in they are gaining wt, what can they do-I
just smile and thank heavens I have a great resolve- you can too if you
always adhere to all the rules for the rest of your life. Just know you
can do anything you Want to do, as long as you follow the rules forever.
Good luck and happy losing-i hope you attain your size goal. Huggs

my sister is an inch taller and about the same weight. She wears anywhere
from a 10-12 depending on the style/brand of clothes.

Hi,
I started 11/04 out at 5'10: and my Dr. documented weight of 362lbs I am
now hover around 162 with my lowest being 157. I wear a size 11 shoe and
until I lost the weight I thought my frame was large. I now know I am
actually very small boned (I just have big feet). I wear mostly size 4
with a couple of 2s that are cut just right :-). I work out religiously.
Hope this helps, Carla P

Thanks everone for giving me an idea. I was hopeing to be in a size 10-12
but 14-16 would be ok too. I just want to be healthy without having to
worry about getting sick when I'm 30. Good luck and congrats to all of you.

I'm 5'11" and started at 330 pounds. I currently weigh about 185
pounds. I'm a solid size 12. I'd still like to lose 15 pounds but I've been
stuck at 185 for the past 6 months. Everybody's body type is different but
I would say that you could probably end up in 10-12's. God luck!

I am an inch shorter than you with the same medium frame. I currently
weight between 170 and 175. I wear a size 12. My guess is that at an inch
taller you will wear a size 10. At the lower end of you weight goal
perhaps an 8 or smaller.

Try to look up KittyCat Lovers profile. She lives in Rhode Island and I
think her stats were similar to yours. By the way I don't know if it's
posted yet but I saw a recent picture of her and she looks incredible.
