Ever so tall, big head, stick thin! CRAZY!

I come from a family of TALL people (5'8-6'5) - on my father's side (no, I am not tall, I took after my mothers side ) None of them are a size 2!!! I couldn't imagine. I have a cousin that is about 6'2 (yes, tall for a girl) and skinny (looks skinny, VERY skinny) but she wears a size 8-10 and they fit well. So, knowing what she looks like and what she wears, I couldn't imagine someone who is 5'8 and a size 2!

Speaking of size: my husband and I were reading an article about a lady who last about 50 pounds and went from a size 16/18 (sometimes 20/22) to a size 2/4 and she weighed (I forgot what it was, but it was over 140), but we couldn't figure out how the measurements fit together. OKAY, our bodies are all different, but when I was weighed 110-115, I was a size 5 (sometimes a 2 - depending on style of clothes). Anyway, we just thought that was odd!

I have lost 28 lbs and have only gone down maybe two sizes! I would like to get rid of another 23 lbs to reach my goal weight, but I wonder how many sizes I will drop then? Weight lose is such a strange and tough area to conquer!

Just thought I would ramble alittle while.............
I know, that is crazy about how much girls weigh now! I am 5'11" and a size 10, and I want to go back to a 6. (Had a baby in December) But, I am no where weighing 120! That would probably kill me. 140 is the lowest weight I should go (if I can even get there!)

And now that I am 30, it is SO hard to lose weight. I miss being 20!
