Ha!  I weighed 153 in that pic.  Those jeans are a size 10.  I'm now around 145 and wear a size 6 or 8.  Those jeans are too big for me now. 

So, that is what 153 looks like on our height.....

I need to add some more "fun stuff" photos and I guess I'll add another progress photo at 2 years.  NOt much has changed, though.

 Tessy! Are you serious?! Wow.  Maybe the last time I weighed that, I had some baby fat hiding somewhere. Ha! That's really an eye opener for sure.

140 is pretty ******g skinny chick! I'm 5ft 7" and as of this morning am down ANOTHER 2lbs to 152lbs and that is plenty for my frame.  Much more and I'll look like a skeleton.

Well, 145 then.  Honestly, I think I will look fine when the weight comes off and I can see what 145-150 looks like IRL on me.  But I'm still dreaming of 140.

You're only a couple of months behind me and I went through the same thing several months ago.  I guess you're right on time!  ;)

My upper body is very thin and bony.  I have leveled off (but I do eat a fuckload of carbs on a daily basis).  I am now also wanting to start to build muscle mass to bulk up a little bit (and I figure it can help fill out some of the loose skin I stil have).  I'm assuming that I've just got a bit of insurance for when the 10 pound bounceback happens.

Really 152 is not a super low weight for our height, but I totally get how you feel, because I did a little freakout when I got into the 140s (which still isn't bad for our height).  I did hit 142 and then slowly went back up and now I seem to hover around 145 to 148 on most days.  I even went through a period where I dropped 9 pounds in 11 days, which is when I think I hit 142 now that I think about it. 

I think part of it is us (and others around us) getting used to being "skinny."  When I meet someone for the first time, and they have no history of me being fat, then they don't think, "Dear God, that woman is way too thin!"  (They might think, "How does that skinny ***** have 4 kids!"  and that's okay!  LOL!)

I think it took some time for me to get used to being a size 6 (I'm not sure what this translates to in UK sizes).  After awhile I became comfortable at this size.  I certainly wouldn't mind adding a little meat back on, as I've always been curvy and liked curves (as does my husband), but I no longer stress over it.

So, I guess I'm saying that I totally get your freakout.  I've been there.  BUT, that it's most likely not really warranted and you should level off and maybe bounce back up again soon.  Worst case scenario is you get into the 130s and you add some enzymes to your diet.

Hang in there!
