It also has a lot to do with where on your body you tend to carry weight. I have several gals in my dance/exrecize class (one of my C5 friends calls it my "dance your A$$ off class" LOL) are quite fluffy (as one comedian puts it) girls (probably larger that size 16) but have perfect hourglass figures with small waistlines proportionately speaking. Others are shaped more like a pear or an apple. At my largest I was a 16. I carry fatty deposits all over my body so everything gets larger but disproportionally more settles around my middle. I lose my waistline and it becomes uncomfortable to do things like tie my shoes. As we now know the midsection is the most unhealthy place to carry excess weight. There were things I definately liked about being sized 14 to 12 as did my hubby, but hated the tummy & waistline. I am now back to a small 10 and still have a bit of tummy. Simply losing more weight at this point is no answer. Now I have to build muscle mass in all the right places & continue to lose the tummy. That is me. Each person is different. We gals also need to realize how much more critical we are of ourselves than guys are. I just fussed at Mike for posting pics of me on Facebook that I don't like because all I see is my tummy. He said "But those are great pictures of you, you look hot". I smiled. Sorry for the long post but I needed to say those things.
