Does size make a difference?

[Alice D]

Just got a new pair of size 6 low rise jeans (OK they're GAP and run bigger), 3" strappy heels and a cami top. I think it looks great. Lost 10 lbs. in the last month- used to be 140 lbs for years (5'10"), but gained some weight- now back to 140. Watching what I eat and exercise and I feel much better dressing or not. I know my doctor would say you're better off thinner, but some of the neighbors and friends think I look too thin. I don't think I'm below normal- BMI 20. Do you feel better when you've lost some weight?

Ok, I'm jealous. I wearing size 8/10 stretch jeans. I don't think that there is anything wrong with losing weight as long as it's not drug induced. (Illegal drugs that it) I've been on a diet too. I'd love to wear a 6 or even a 4! Probabally never see a 4 though.
:hugs: :love: :hugs:

[Bernadina]

At 5'11" and 153lbs I'm OK to wear a size 6 - 8 stretch jean depending on the brand.

[marie354]

Well, on my budget... Thrift stores, walmart, etc are great places!
Back on subject... Stop dieting when you reach your level that you're comfortable with and don't worry about what others say. After all, you are doing it for yourself!

Yeah, being a small dress size makes you feel and look sexy. Me - 5'4" 144 lbs size 4. BMI 25. And I think I'm thin enough without being too thin. Don't need to be a size 2 or 0 -- hard to find those clothes sizes.

You tall people at 140 lbs are thin! Do you eat well enough?

I eat enough to my satisfaction everyday. I don't have to diet to maintain my weight. If I gain weight from overeating I just work out.

[Juanita O]

i Don't think that size make a difference. I am 6'2" I weight 228. I like my size, I will try and get down to 218.I thank my parents(both passed on) for the genes that I recieved. We are all different sizes and shapes but that is what we are born with.:2c:

Jesse, I'm so glag for you! When I was in my 20's and 30's I never had much time to slow down and gain any weight, but when I reached my 40's... Everything changed! Stay trim girlfriend. BTW... I will be sending that VS disk the first week of Jan.

[Andrea Nicole]

Hi,
I was 5-8 & 145 a few years ago, and could easily wear a size 8 dress, if it had a little stretch in the shoulder area. Now, a few (& pounds) years later, size 10.....and I think I hear size 12 calling....
Huggs,
Andi..

[Kandi]

6' 2" and 245 lbs. It will be hard to get the offensive linemen out this big gurl. Then again I don't think there are many brave souls who would dare to harass us big gurls. In my dreams size 16 in reality size 20. I did manage to lose 20 lbs over the summer though so it does feel better.

[Tina Dixon]

Gee, OK, I'm 6'3" 250, fat, want to be 180, I will start in February for this goal.

[MJ]

Tina
why put of for tomorrow or a couple of months what you can do today ? you could be half way there by February.. and a few dress sizes smaller too

[wendy360]

Your worried about being a size 6!
I'm 6'5" and about 210#. I have lost about 50# in the last 6 months
I just bought a pair of size 10 extra long ultra low rise jeans and am in love with them!!
I went shopping today at the mall, costco and the grocery store and I only noticed 1 person, a sales girl at a keosk point me out. I'm good with that.
The toughest thing I had was finding a pair of pants with a 36 inch inseam.
Tall girls have it tough. There's not much out there for them.
Your body is the size it is. The number on the cloths is just that. A number

[janet p]

I'm so jealous, I'm 5' 10" but 210lbs I've lost 10lbs this year so have a long way to my goal of 180. If you look at the weight charts we should be about 180,185 as I was when I went into the Marine Corp.41 years ago. So I hate to say this but you are to thin:devil: :devil: :devil: The main thing is that as long as YOU are comfortable with the way you are,THEN YOU GO GIRL!!!:love: :love: :love:

Yes Alice, I believe it does matter because MJ, you are a shining example of how to utilize crosssdressing as an asset. Bravo! Our desire to look like a woman brings into play all those cures we admire and size becomes important. I'm not saying that if one is heavyset, it detracts because I have seen some truely pretty CDs who because of body build, could never project those cures. It is hard for me and I'm 5ft 8in, and 150.

Great!!! I'm 5" 9" and 170+pounds..... lost 50 pounds...and If I drop below 170 I look real bad in male mode and everyone says I'm too thin....sooooo

Karren

[JoAnnDallas]

I am 5'9" and now down to 155...I was up to aroun 175 and looked like I was at least 4 months pregent. LOL Even my wife and doctor has noticed how much better I look. I feel a whole lot better and my doctor said she may even have to cut my blood pressure and chrolestrol doses down.

I was wearing a size 14/16 dress and now I wear a 12/14, which is even better. The only problem about dropping a dress size, is now every thing you have is too loose, so it's SHOPPING TIME..............

[susie evans]

i don't no yet but i'am 5 10 and way 190 and can wear a 14
put am going to shed another twenty pounds are so in the next few months are i think ther are a lot better choices below this size

[Michelia]

From the sounds of it, the most successful diet program yet devised is embracing one's female side! Congatulations to all these successes. I am jealous of all these little ladies...

But I have my own problem. I am 250 and 5'11"". I think this is definitely a problem for a girl. But I have not been able to really go on a diet because I like my legs the way they are. I like the way skirts fit me. And I am afraid my face will be too drawn down if I loose weight. I already feel I have these deep cheek lines. Has any one else felt like this?

I know for health reasons it is also better to be lighter. Also weight is very hard on the feet wearing heels. Maybe I will go for a moderate weight loss. Say 30 to 50 lbs.?

[Tommie Rae]

I'm 5'11, weigh 170 lbs. About 3 years ago I weighed 220. I now wear size 12 jeans comfortably. It was just a matter of cutting down on eating a bit (no more donuts with coffee, switch to diet sodas) and stepping up my exercise a bit (walk one more mile every day-briskly). You only have to lose 500 calories per day to lose a pound per week. Just cut back on 250 calories of food, and step up your exercise program by 250 calories. It takes time, but that is the best way to lose weight and keep it off in the long run. I look thin in male mode but damn good en femme!

[Sierra Evon]

I'm 5'11 and weight approx. 188, I feel fat, want to loose 15 lbs or soo by spring time 07".

[Jennaie]

I'm 5"7" and weigh 132. I'm not even sure what size jeans I now wear. I do know that I have to wear padded pantys under my veronica to look like I have a rear. I bought the veronica last year and about 13 pounds heavier.

My waist is 4 inches thinner but I have no butt at all.
