Question:
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE 5FT. TALL AROUND 270LBS.
I was wondering if there's anyone out there that is on the short side, 5ft. and weigh around 270lbs. that I can see your before and after pictures. I get down because I'm so short and wonder if this huge round body of mine will ever look slender. — Kelly* P. (posted on January 5, 2003)

I'm 5'2 and started at 289 lbs. I am acutally starting to not look so
round and its GREAT! Check out my profile and follow the link to my
Picturetrail site where I have 2 before pics and a pic for every month
since that time. I am now 8.5 months post op and have lost 115 pounds so
far. I have also noticed a huge difference since I have been working out
6X's a week. I go to Curves at least 4 times a week and I've been doing
the Power 90 workout 2 days a week. I am really trying to avoid plastic
surgery, if possible, so I have been dedicated to working my butt
off...literally! LOL
You will be amazed at the transformation your body will make!

I am 5'3" and weighed 281 at the start. I am now out 5 months and I
am down 85 pounds. I'm sorry that I don't have a current AFTER pic but I
plan on getting one up in the near future. It literally looked like the
skin on my face was close to bursting before I had the surgery and I was
round all over. But now I can say that I finally have some sort of a
figure. You can do it! It just takes time that's all. It's also hard to
see your own progress when you are the one looking in the mirror all the
time. Just wait until those compliments start rolling in! Even if you
don't SEE the change, you will certainly HEAR it! :)
Good luck!

Hi. I am 5'1" tall and when I started out I weighed 276. I am now
down to 167 ( loss of 109lbs) at 9 months post-op. There is a before and
after picture on my listing but the after pic. is from Nov. and is only
after 90lb loss. I really appreciated you asking this question because I
also was interested in how people look at my height. My mind is still
playing tricks on me and I think I look as I did before surgery when I look
in the mirror. Good luck to you! and God Bless, Leah

Well, I'm a little shorter, just 4'11", but I started out at 252 and
I'm now down to 112-115. I took me about 15 months to get here. I'm
thrilled with my health and how I feel. I do get tired of hearing everyone
say I'm too skinny. I wear a size 4 so I know I'm tiny now, I just don't
see me that way yet. I've been told that the brain will catch up with the
body soon. Good luck, you'll get there. Just keep up the water, protein
and exercise.

I'm 5'0", and weigh between 310 and 320. I'm looking forward to
having surgery this year, because I can no longer stand my body and my
weight. My family doctor said it would be great if I could lose 100lbs.,
but that wouldn't even take me down to 200lbs. I realize that a downward
trend is better than this continual upward one, but I'd love to weigh below
150. Wouldn't it be great to have a non-overweight BMI? I can't imagine
what my body would be like, nor can I imagine what I'm going to spend all
of my time obsessing about if it isn't how much I hate my body or how
guilty I feel about what I just ate.
Good luck in your efforts to slim down. All of us 'petite' women are with
you. After all, we have it where it counts!
