congratulations!!!! i'm about 20 lbs away from my goal (145).. about 10 awway from my my mini goal..feels so weird saying that .. my goal forEVER was 165.. i always thought i'd be happy there... crazy huh?! BTW ur profile picture is BEAUTIFUL!! :) 

I know, I am a size 12 and hate it. I am going for a size 6 or 8 at whatever weight that might be. I want to be healthy but look good doing it.. haha, have a good day 

Thank you, both! And congrats on the weightloss thus fair, Naoimy!!!! Being a size 12 is so hard :/ it makes shopping so depressing for me, and I love to shop. We can get there, girls!!!!! 

Its confusing how everyones body types are different!.. i'm 164 and i'm now getting into a ten.. are u sure u aren't in size tens both of you? i didn't realize it until i decided to try something on. i know by my goal weight of 145 i'll be in a size 8 bc it takes me a while to get into smaller sizes b/c my butt is huge..lol.. having been a size 22 at one point in my life i cant complain about my size 12 pants lol.. but its nice to be able to wear a 10.. Size 8 though? wow.. it would seem unreal to be in the single digits... WE GOT THIS!...  

it varies so much by store and brand even!! I have a friend who is small framed, 5'1" and 127lbs and she wears a size 9 or 11!! Size 8 would be incredible, I would finally not feel embarassed when someone rings in my clothes at the register and sees the size :(!! 

yeah ur right... b/c my butt is so big i have to get stretch pants.. i have a size 10 waist and a size 12 butt lol.. and legs.. my body is weird..lol...  

Hi girls, id like to chim in...be happy you are a sz.12, I know its no your goal but that is fairly small. It would be physically impossible for m to get down that small. I've got down to a 14 and I was a bag of bones I looked horrible looking back at pictures, granted I'm 6ft 2in. Right now I'm not sure how much I weigh since I don't own a scale, but imma sz. 20, which I'm proud of cause I use to be a 28. I'm trying to get to 215 which was a sz. 16 on me and fairly skinny and my pre preggo weight. Its odd how height plays such a drastic role in distribution of weight... 

Naimoy..... your body is not weird. You have your own adorable shape. Look at every fit person you see. They come in all shapes. I have a swimmer friend... very beautiful broad shoulders and an angular shape to her waist, smallish hips, long slender legs, very athletic, yet femine look. She HATES her broad shoulders. I have another friend, doesn't have the broad shoulders, has a tiny waist and an nice rounded tush and strong shapely legs. The hourglass look, very sexy. She of course, hates her butt. Both beautiful, knock your socks off looks, just not the same look. So remember, yours is not weird, it is yours and beautiful. ; ) 

i know dream its crazy!!... some girls at my weight are in a size 8.. i'm 5'3 so i know its gonna take some work for me to be there. And congratulations on ur smaller size!!!... its funny b/c i still feel so bulky even in a size 10?? b/c i'm stumpy and short... i was super happy to be at a size 12... that was the smallest size i'd ever been my adult life even though it was only for like a month last year..lol.. now i am 10/12 depending on the style.. and i'm so happy!.. but you are totally right.. u have to do what's best for your body and not what people tell you you SHOULD weigh.. i think 155 will look good on me.. and maybe 145 would too but i don't really want to be "skinny".. i look good with meat on me... but b/c of my height 145 might look better than i think... where for you at 6'2.. that woudl be almost tooooo skinny.. !.. my friend is like a couple inches taller than me and at my same weight she look fabulous and could wear bikini's.. what's up with THAT?! 

@ datadoll..ur right.. i think we are just NEVER satisfied with our bodies.. and really.. i'm super glad i have a big butt b/c a lot of my friends don't have one and are jealous lol  

haha yeah I know everyone's body is different-- I like my shape, I just have a lot of jiggle that I know is unhealthy. I wish stores would have more cute options for thicker folks, because it is really disheartening to be happy with my body but not be able to find anything cute to wear :/. I have a huge butt too!! nothing can get over it hahaha :( it is genetic I swear- me and my full sister have huge butts but my half-sisters are flat-butted! Anyways I am very thankful for the body I have, but I know I need to treat it kinder!! I am a bigger framed individual, wide hips, bigger rib cage etc! 

my rib cage is big too?! is that possible? lol i always wondered if its even possible to shrink that! lol
