Re: Height/Weight PIPs, very interesting.
This is what I would love to look like.
Ah, another thread I really like. I love it when women who all look different from each other come together & accept each other & accept themselves. I'm just all sentimental today I think. Plus I think it's totally interesting to see how girls who are the same height or same weight carry it so differently. Having said that, I'll go next.
I'm between 5'6'' and 5'7'' but I honestly don't know what I weigh. I just kind of go on how I feel & how my body looks. We have a scale, but I have no interest in getting on it. I feel ok about my body most days, but putting a number on it kind of stresses me out. I suppose i could weigh myself right now, but I just ate chicken tacos for dinner & I'm so full I could die. So yeah. Not gonna happen. I'd guess I'm somewhere between 140 and 150.
Most of my pants are size 10. I have some that are 8, but those are for skinny days, haha. I wear a medium in most tops, but every now & then I find a medium where the shoulders or chest are too tight & I have to go with a large. Big boobs get in the way! Check these bad boys out! (I'm in the blue obviously. This was at a friend's wedding in Summer 2009 at the same venue where I had mine. Can we also discuss the guy on the left? He was a coworker of the groom & me. He was 39 at the time. What kind of grown a$s man wears a seersucker suit with a pink shirt & a Kangol hat to a wedding?!)

I am 5'8" I weighed 253 last time I was on the scale.. about 10-15lbs ago. I hate scales- so I don't own one.
I wear anywhere from a 16 to a 20 in pants. I wear 2x-3x depending on the shirt. People say I carry my weight well- but all I see is fat blob with breasts everytime I look in the mirror. lol.
When I met DH i was 180ish. Since then we both have gained alot of weight.
According to BMI stuff- I think I need to be about 150 or so. When I was 16 I was 168- and that was my ideal. I have set a goal to be 180-190...But right now I would just love to be under 200. I am just so lazy and love to eat and was taught to eat as 97% of our family is overweight.
Now to PIP:

Seriously, though. This board is full of beautiful, amazing women. I'm so proud to know you all
I'm really happy that we shared this! I'm also proud of the people that feard doing this, but did anyway!!! I do think everyone is beautiful and the point, to me, is that it's not about the scale or sizes, it's truly about how you feel and the beauty that you as a person portray. And no, I'm not trying to be all ass-kissy, I'm serious!
So thank you, everyone, for being brave enough to share!!
You'd love to always have a glass of wine in your hand? ;-)
BTW, that first picture you posted from Halloween? Can I just say, "Hot da-uhm!"
My weight/size is not something I'm embarrassed about. Yes, it is something I am trying to work on, but in general, it's whatever. I'm never ashamed of my size or my weight because it's not like people look at me and think I am sooooo skinny until they hear my weight lol, it's clear I'm a big girl, and I own that. I am 5 ft 7, almost 5ft 8, and I weigh 325lbs. My goal is to get under 300lbs this year. I currently wear between a 24-28 in shirts and pants. Most of the time I take a 3X. I carry most of my weight in my middle (stomach, butt, and hips). I don't really have many good pictures of myself full body, because let's be honest, straight on full body shots aren't the most flattering for Chubby McChubpants, but here's what I found.
This was me trying on wedding dresses. My mom said, "You don't want sleeves? Aren't you worried about showing your arms?" My response, "I'm pretty sure people know I have fat arms Mom, it's not like the rest of me is big and then I have freakishly thin arms" lol
This is a bad quality pic, but here it is anyway. Please ignore the white sneakers with capris...it felt comfy at the time so I didn't care how dumb it looked.
And here I am a couple years ago, I was about 20lbs lighter in this picture.
And here I am baking cookies the other night...just what I needed lol
Ok I really love this post. It is really interesting to see how differently people are shaped at the same height/weight. And I think you are all beautiful and amazing! I don't have a lot of photos because I am at work but I am 5'8 and about 160 lbs. I wear a sized 10-12 and a M or L top. I carry a lot of it in my hip area but I am noticing a belly a lot more now.
I agree with all of the posts above. You're all gorgeous ladies, especially from the smiles on your faces in the pics, and from getting to know you over the past year or so, you're all beautiful inside and out. Yes that sounds cheesy, but I 100% meant it.

I absolutely agree that we have a beautiful group of women here! WOW!
I fluctuate with my weight so much. Here I am on the far left in November 2008 around 200 lbs (size 16):
This was around the time I started a medical weight loss program and lost about 45 lbs the WRONG way. Here I am a few months later at my smallest in March 2009 around 155 (size 10):
November 2009 (around 165 - size 12):
September 2010 (around 180 - size 14):
I don't have any full body pics since the wedding, but I've put on about 15-20 lbs since then. Time to lose weight the RIGHT way

I really want to participate with you ladies, so I found a picture of me with my family the day after the wedding. This is Chris and I in the middle (before my wife chop) along with my parents, sister, brother and sister-in-law, and my nieces.
I'm at about 250 lbs, 5'6". I wear a size 18/20 or a 2X. I am NOT happy with my weight, but don't seem to be overly motivated to do anything about it!
