Sandy701's Journal, 05 November 2010

OK...no fair! There are a couple of people on this site that are only about 5 pounds lighter or heavier than me and they're all wearing size 10's and 12's while I just got into my 16's!!! (OK, my Liz jeans are 14's but her sizes run large.) What gives???

I figure it's 1 of 2 things....either they're very tall (and I'm 5'6") or they're better muscled (since you could be more compact for a smaller size but weigh more due to the muscle rather than fat). I'm hoping they're all really tall because, if they're not, I'll have to face the fact that it's because I have more fat relative to muscle! A-A-A-C-C-C-K-K-K!! I mean, I know I'm not going to make the cover of Muscle Magazine, but.....

Happy Friday, all.

sandy i think it has to do with your age body frame and how tall you are. my size 12's are extremly tight! and i am 5.6 as well my mother inlaw weighed the same as me but she was 5.2 and she was much bigger than me. some people carry fat on their butt and some people spread it out all over! make sure you don't compare your self to others it is apples and oranges both are fruit but....

Oh I totally understand!!! I dont get it either. I am 205 and wearing 18's & some 16's but I see people that are heavier than me that can fit into smaller sizes than I can. No fair. I am like you... zero muscle. lol! My bottom hips & butt are my more volumptuous areas so while I can probably fit into much smaller shirts and others my size I have to get bigger jeans.

Its true we are all built differently, there is a forum going where everyone is posting their weight and size. Also I have seen some forum posts with before and after, or during, pictures and some look really great at 180-190, you would think she was 130, and another at 230 looked like she was under 170!! So we just have to deal with the hand we were dealt. Just keep working towards your goal, good luck
