I'm the same. I will be absolutely content with myself at an 8/10.

Quoting J&C's mommy:" I want to be a size 7 and I will totally be happy"

dont lie.....us women are never ''totally'' happy, lol

lol I know right!!

You look great. You face shape is very nice does not look round at all. Your figure looks perky to....not at all fat. I'd say your doing pretty good. This is not yet a huge worry of mine but I still have ten weeks to go and I'm dreading I might pass the 200 mark before my little love gets here. I'm 5"10 and weigh last time I checked 178 and I'm 28 weeks. I'm expecting to gain around 35ish pounds for my pregnancy. You look great though. Feel good about yourself.

i'm 5'8 and my weight is horrible....only a few people have i told my weight to and they agree that i don't LOOK that big lol but before i had my LO i was working out, dieting and lost 40 lbs just to gain it all back and more in the last couple months of my pregnancy. Since then i have stayed stagnant at this weight...i have gym membership and i haven't gone since march   i keep meaning to get things going and work towards my goal but it's a slow process. i think you look great! on a side note, a friend of mine and i were talking about jessica simpson and she commented (mind you she has no kids) saying that it took her forever to lose her baby weight. i was like   "she had her baby in may" then i told her that i haven't lost any weight and it's taking me a long time to lose it since i'm 10 months PP and she said "yeah, that is a long time"   hurt my feelings lol

Aww!!! Don't let someone make you feel bad, my neighbor is two months ahead of me and it took here a little over a year to get off. She had ups and down but by about 12 months she was going steady on just walking and eating right (not exactly dieting) and she got back to what she was before her little man came. You look very good I would not be depressed at all, and sounds like that person was talking before they were really thinking.

Ya you look great! It has taken me 4 years to even begin to lose  I have 2 kids back to back and gained a ton! I was a size 17 in April! I was so depressed so I know I have come a long way its just the number on the scale that kills me  I know its so stupid, I'm glad I'm not alone  thanks for all the kind words

I range from size 14-16. The smallest I EVER was, was a 7 in high school and I was about 180-190 lbs. I look back on pictures and I can't believe I thought I was so fat, I looked pretty hot   I was about 200 when I found out I was prego (I was going towards my goal of 160) and you can imagine what I am now with those 40 lbs I need to lose and plus a little more   I am ashamed but the good news is that I don't LOOK that big to other people lol but it's so discouraging that I need to lose about 50 lbs to get where I was pre-pregnancy. THEN another 50 to my goal   but someday, soon, I really should make use of my gym membership and diet....but my goals got sidetracked after LO got here, it's so much easier to eat junk food and soda and play with her all day. BUT my ultimate goal is to be a healthy example for her...and not be like my mom who never did anything fun because of her weight. I want to be confident in a swim suit so DD and I can go on family vacations. Stupid and shallow, because plenty of bigger people have fun but I want to be able to play and go for walks and do healthy fun activities with her also (and of course look good while doing it)  

Yes, the number on the scale totally messes with my mind. I feel HUGE, so try not to weigh myself too often. My friends all say I am thin but the scale says otherwise. So I totally understand!

even when i'm a size 5 i'm still 145 o.o its because we are tall I guess

Quoting J&C's mommy:" even when i'm a size 5 i'm still 145 o.o its because we are tall I guess"

My sister is like an inch shorter than me and at 145 ish she was a size 8-9! Size 5   i couldn't imagine ever being that size   someday soon i have to get things started!  

I think you look great and your boobs are awesome lol. I understand how you feel though..
