I am 49-48-51  but i have come a long way since 2006!! i was 50-52-53 back then and 272 pounds!! Now i am 49-48-51!! I weigh 250 now.  I was going to curves back then when i was heavier.  I dont go to curves anymore.  I know it's not that great of an achievement but i am losing inches!! :)  I guess you would call me an apple shape?? I would love to be more proportionate!! I would love to be able to buy skinny jeans and actually look good in them.  Its so funny catalogs all think fat people are all big in all areas!! I am not very proportinate!! I wear bigger tops than pants.  Is anyone here like that?? I am slowly losing i guess they say you will keep it off longer this way?? 


Clarice

Hi ya there

That IS a great achievement!  WAY TO GO!

My measurements are on my profile.....Actually may even be a few less since I haven't measured myself in weeks.

I also wear bigger tops because I have large C cups...down from large D.

Yes slow is great!

Keep up the great work!
~H~

 

So how did you lose the weight?? Just by calorie counting?? Just curious.  You look great by the way!! Congrats on your weight loss.  What kind of exercise did you do?? Since i am about the measurements you were what calories did you take in a day back then??  That's amazin!! I am in a D cup now too.  I would love to be like a C cup!! My hubby doesn't want me too though!! LOL  He likes them!! I told him he doesn't have to live with them daily!! Congrats again!!

I’m 5’4” tall and 36”-28 ¼” – 39”. Yup baby’s got back and hips and thighs lol! Trying to work my waist down to 27 but those dreaded love handles are defeating me. My virtual model carries my exact measurement but I really don’t think it looks like me although I could be thinking about the “before” me.

Would love to be those measurements!!!

im 5'6  currently i am 36-30-39 with a thigh measurement of 22 calf 14.5 and bicep at 11! (151lbs)

My measurements for every month since May 2007 (when I started keeping track of them) are in my profile.

I'm 5'6" (and a half).

My thighs are really muscular (years of walking for exercise) they are about 23 inches around.  :)

At the start of Novemer last year, I weighed 255 pounds and my measurements were 48, 46, 54. My stomach was 52 inches and my thighs were 25 inches around at the top.

Last time I measured (just last week) I was 214 pounds, and my measurements were 44, 37, 42. My stomach is now 42 the same as my hips, and my thigh is 21.5 inches around. (I walk for my exercise so my legs are quite muscular and haven't shrunk nearly so much as my torso.) My dress size has gone from almost a 3x to XL and my jeans have gone from 24/26 to 20. As you can see, my bust has shrunk slightly, my waist has nipped in a LOT and my stomach and hips have shrunk even more. The stomach shrinkage has slowed right down over the last few months but at first it was dramatic and it made a huge difference to my appearance.

How many calories did you start out with at 255???


Clarice

First measure - 4 weeks ago

waist 48 1/2

hips 59 1/2

Second measure - 1 week ago

waist 47

hips 58 1/2

I started walking, before CC this entire last week.

I am anxious to measure this weekend, because my hips feel a bit smaller!

 That's so weird? My thighs are 24" around. I run fairly often but my thighs are just really dense. Lord what I wouldn’t give to fix my inner thighs and lovehandles problem.

I'm 5'4" and 155 pounds, 44 years old.

37-30.5-38

thigh-21, calf-14.25, bicep-11

looks like I'm pretty close to theashter. 

 

I'm 5'4" 133 pounds

34-27-37(?)- I never remember my hip measurement, but I'm a pear shape

5'7" 154

36.5-27-39.5

 

:)

My measurements when I first started with CC (Jan 2006) were 39.5 - 37.5 - 48.5.  At the time, I weighed 215 pounds.  I am 5'10" tall.  The last measurements I did were in Nov 2007 (so may have changed slightly since then...)  32.5 - 27 - 38 and I weigh 145ish. 

Keep up the good work everyone!

Edit: progress pics are in my profile... :)

 Hi Clarice (nice screen name btw)

I lost by calorie counting and using the treadmill.  Period.

I always ate around the BMR amount.  Back when I was over 200 lbs, I always had a calorie deficit of 1000.  Now that my BMR is 1700, I barely keep a 500 deficit......it gets very hard as you get closer to your goal wait.  Patience is TRULY a virtue!!!

~H~

My measurements, 2x a month since January, are on my profile.

Mine are 37-31-39, down from...I don't know what, because I didn't take measurements until about 2 weeks ago, haha. I've only lost 12lbs though, so it probably hasn't made a big difference.

 

63.8 inches, 119.75 pound

36.5, 25.5, 38 (!)

Definitely a raging pear. Thighs are 21.75/22 inches (left is smaller than right XD).

Just trying to slim down my lower body, lose a last bit of jiggle, weight isn't a huge issue.

 

I'd love to join a gym *sigh*. Boyfriend even said he'd go with me and use the weights or something. Only problem with that is that all the pretty young things would be making eyes at him XD.

 

Monetarily however, a gym just isn't an option right now. Gallon jugs, ahoy? At least there's a park with trails in walking distance :D... *wants running shoes* Meh *wants it all* XD.

65 inches (5' 5") and 123 pounds

35.5, 24.5, 37
