5'4

Hi - doubt and uncertainty here again. I'm 5'1", started at 227 and hoping to make it down to 133 or less. My concern is my BIG OL' fat thighs. I just can't imagine them EVER being a normal shape when i do make it to goal. i'd like to hear from other women 5'4" and under starting at 240 or less to find out HOW DO YOUR LEGS LOOK NOW? Can you wear shorts or bathing suits? Will you need plastic surgery to even them out? The last time i lost weight (and got down to 178), i had this big "dent" in my leg about mid-thigh (which i still have, but it's not as pronounced because it's filled in somewhat with fat) that i was very self-conscious of. Don't get me wrong - i will be so happy to be at goal, healthy, thinner, etc. But i have covered and hid myself all my life, and want to know if i have any shot at all of achieving a somewhat "normal" body shape without plastic surgery. P.S. - my highest weight ever was 240, but i've ranged between 180 and 220 most of my adult life. Thanks! (227.6/200.2/133.0)
