Ht. 5'7", Start: 215 lb, Today: 210 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hey guys. I have found some really great clothes at H&M, you should try going there. It's nice to be able to go to a regular store to get clothes and not have to go to a special plus sized store

Ht. 5'6", Start: 206 lb, Today: 182 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 175 lb - TIPS* *JeAnS 1.buy dark wash jeans(light wash colors like the almost white ones dont flater thunder thighs at all and darker colors make you look slimmer and sexy and they are over all more classy) 2.muffin top! ( this is a big NONO, girls if you have a little bit more up top dont buy low rise jeans! they will do nothing for you but give you a muffin top! try a midrise waste) 3.skinny jeans (some big girls can pull off the skinny jean look but keep in mind if you are not happy with the size of your butt or thighs then these are not the jeans for you,,if you waant jeans simmilar to the skinny jean look then go for a slim boot cut) 4.lenght ( now the lenght of your jeans should be touching the floor but not making you trip all over the place when ya walk) 5. butt pockets ( ALWAYS HAVE BUTT POCKETS ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE JEAN! it will make your botty look smaller and more formed. and it could possibly hide and undies line you may have...there is no way to hide that if there are no pockets) 6.skin tight!( Girls buy jeans that are fitted but not too fitted where you can see ever demple on your butt lol...the jean should be comfty and flattering at the same time) 7.fadding( if there is fadding on your jeans make sure they are NOT in theses areas: butt, thighs, very bottom of leg area) 8. tired of the same old jeans ( fold up the bottoms to make your jeans into cappri pants) THATS ALL THE TIPS I HAVE FOR NOW ON JEANS :) G<3<3D LUCK TO ALL ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS! (:

I always buy the darker skinny jeans. I found out that I look terrible in clothes like boot cut jeans that have no cling, and have one staight line. I like wearing boots over my jeans to make my thighs look more normal. If you want to get rid of dimpling, just wear tights or leggins under your jeans! Now for most over weight wemon (like me) we have hour glass figures, so I think the perfect out fit for us is a simple skinny Jean or Capri pants with a black or dark undershirt/ tanktop covered by a Kisheme cardigan! It really compliments curves. Also, I always wear a necklace, they distract from the stomach.

Ht. 5'3", Start: 162 lb, Today: 157 lb (BMI %tile: 94), Goal: 118 lb - I know it is tough to find clothes being in the 200's try Cold WaterCreek.. Store, I think drawing a picture of your outfit that is tight because of being overweight or obese that might encourge you girls and boys, young men and young women. To lose weihgt. Image wearing that outfit and being a healthy weight, and saying to yourselfs I am happy to be healthy and finding clothes.. Dont give up guys ,, keep trying..

Ht. 5'4.5", Start: 206 lb, Today: 201 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 120 lb - i am 14 yers old and have never had a bofriend. Guys laugh at me and ask me out when they are just joking. My best friend weighs ony about 105 (lol) idk but she is soo skinny. Not like too skinny but she is nothing like me. I cant even go shopping for a swimsuit, shorts, or just regular stuff without breaking into tears. Most of my weight is from my dads genes but why does it have to be so hard to lose weight. I walk and/or ride my bike about 9- 18 miles a week but it is not a regular thing. Mainly just walking to the ball diamonds or to my friends house about 2-5 times a week and back which is about 1.5- 2 miles away. I also have trouble finding clothing that fits and looks good on my body type if it fits the neckline is too low or if the neckline is right then the shirt itself is too tight. pants are not that hard to find for me. Bathing suits are a different story. I hate my thighs. "thunder thighs" some people would call them. Any tips or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kayla

hi kayla, my name is cynthia and i know exactly how you feel! you see i come from a family that lovveesss to eat! my dad's side of the family is all italian so that's a lot of carbs and cream sauces! haha and my mom's side of the family is irish, meaning lots of mashed potatoes and overall A LOT of food! i have been overweight most of my life, i'd say since i was in 4th or 5th grade. i have struggled through clothing troubles too. i hate hate HATE shopping for swim suits or any summer clothing for that matter. and i try to avoid it as much as possible. just like you, my best friend is a stick and is a size 4! i couldn't even touch that! i don't think i've ever been a 4! but she supports me and isn't condisending about my weight which really helps. i too have never had a boyfriend and i'm 16. i've gone through my fair share of crushes and they all seem to be the same type of guys,...

misses and juniors are the same sizes except misses don't start until size 6. So if you are a 16 in misses you are a 16 in juniors. I think juniors usually go up to like 18 but some stores go up higher

Does anyone else think that some stores should have bigger sizes and some brands should not make only "tiny" clothes? That's what makes me really mad! I may not be a twig but that doesn't mean I don't like to dress nice!!
