Brilliant. I'm basically a size 16 though sometimes 14 for trousers. My problem is I have no waist to speak of. But I haven't done for years so I simply dress to disguise it.

MrsT has (much more so before her weight loss) very much an hourglass figure; big on top, small waist, big hips. Most of her hip size comes from her sequoia-like thighs, though.
Because of that, she has a terrible time with buying trousers - if the waist fits, she can’t get her legs in them, and if they fit her thighs, she’ll have four or five inches to spare around her waist.
My daughter has the same problem. To some extent I did too when in my 20's. It wasn't so much I had a small waist as that my hips were wide in comparison. As I got older (post 50) the fat on the hips has gravitated downwards, hence size 14.

I'm a true pear, and extreme one even. Even at my size, I have a waist to hip ratio of 7.1 which is considered ideal, despite my weight. My hips and thighs are where most of my body fat is stored.

I'm now holding my weight for weeks at 75kg/165lbs at 1,75m/5,8". Now I'm back to drinking tea and ditching all unnecessary sugars.
Wish me luck to not fail again, it feels so good.

I think I'll be back on a diet when I get back home to Australia...
- you and me both, Sister!
MrsT and I have each gained about five pounds after our vacation, so let’s see how quickly we can get it off!
Sadly for MrsT, men can lose five pounds in a matter of days. Evolution wasn't so kind to women.

I thought that might be the case judging by the meals you posted! Good luck losing it.
She’s already back walking again. It’ll come off.

Since being so gravely ill, I got back down to my "fighting weight" and now somehow, I have no idea why, I've gained back 7 pounds!
But then I've had a surgery about every 4-6 weeks for the past few months (a total of 5 all together), with having my gut puffed up with Co2. I understand that given the type of procedures I've had, this is par for the course. It's been hinted that I shouldn't need any more surgeries, so I'll need to work on getting these 7 pounds off. My PCP has already said she does NOT want me to go back to the gym yet
though I can walk at an easy pace for now.
I went back to counting calories and keeping the carbs down.
