Hi! I'd love some motivation and I'm asking for people to post their before and after pics but include starting weight and starting pants size then current weight and current pants size PLUS your height. That way we can put your pics into context 
Looking forward to your inspiration!

How tall are you?
I started out at 216 and am down to 187. Not completely sure what my goal will be but for now it's 140. I'm 5'7.0 -
I am 5'9" and started at 217 pounds with 32% body fat in size 16. I became a competitive bodybuilder along the way and ended up at 155 pounds with 14% body fat in size 12. There are lots of pictures in success stories and most of them include height and weight. Size of pants has a lot more to do with bone structure, because I know plenty of women my height and weight who wear 8's.0

The sizes are what I'm most curious about but people rarely post them. I know sizes vary because people carry weight differently but that's part of why I'm so curious about it.0

It's a little about weight, such as pear shaped women wear larger pant sizes, it's a lot more about your bone structure. If you have wide hips you'll end up at a higher pant size than the average woman.0 -
I'm purposely avoiding current pics (I'll be taking them at the 6 month mark).. started at 259, tight size 22 pants (I'm just under 5'7"), am currently 204 and a size 18 (starting to get baggy in the bum but I still need them for my hips/stomach). It'll be 5 months Tuesday 0

yup can totally speak to different body types. I have 2 young kids. Before kids at this weight I was in a tight 14. After my first child at this same weight I was a 16. Now post kids I'm an 18! Part of it is just carrying weight differently, but my hips have for sure changed.0

Please share your workout routines too that would be great help 0

5'10"
Highest weight 260, size 20
Starting weight 211, size 18
Hit tight size 14 around 186
Hit tight size 12 around 177
Hit size 10 around 173
Current weight 171.6
I'm not expecting to fit into an 8 for another 8-10lbs.
Keep in mind brands have a lot more to do with size than measurements, at least in the states. Those 18s I was in for so long were huge 18s, then there were some brands I couldn't fit into. I also have a very small frame (wrist less than 6") and people think I weigh 20lbs less than I actually do.
It does change as you age like 110challenge said. In high school I was a juniors 13/15 at this weight.
No real workout routine to speak of. Aside from having an active job, I just do what I feel like on days I feel like it, and usually don't log it consistently. Yoga, sometimes jogging. Lots of squats lately with weights. I'm getting more into weight training now that I'm much closer to goal. I lost 30lbs years ago doing p90x though, loved that, the yoga kicked my butt.0 -

5'4.5"
Heaviest : 260 lbs in the picture on the top right hand corner (unknown for other 2 because I was still hospitalized from my c-section and they weren't weighing me then)
**the last picture in the top row is my drivers license photo. I had to get it renewed a month after my c-section and at my heaviest weight. I haven't updated my drivers license yet which is starting to cause problems. Going to have to do that as soon as I have the extra money laying around.
Pants size: unknown....I wasn't wearing normal pants and refused to buy any that fit. The best way to explain it, is I was wearing a pair of draw string sweat pants that were so small on me the pants were almost eating the drawstrings (imagine the holes were the strings come out, but only seeing 2 little ends about the size of your pinky nail...it's sad and funny all at the same time)...not possible to tie them...they were a 2XL
Current: 123.1-125.6 lbs (I fluctuate in this range currently)
Pants: 2 - 4 US(sweat pants/yoga pants are small/medium depending on brand....tops are small/medium if misses sizing or medium large if junior sizing*)
*This is an american thing. It doesn't mean kids clothing. It's a section of womens clothing that is typically cut for smaller/straighter builds. I haven't tried any juniors size jeans recently, so I'll leave that size out.

Its really fascinating that one person is a size 12 at 177lbs another at 141. I'm a 12 at 187lbs. Sizes are interesting.
Fabulous job everybody. Truly Inspirational!0 -

I have read on here that UK sizes are smaller than American; so a size 12 UK could be somewhere around and 8/10 American. Not sure if that is true or not
I do not have any photos on my computer but my profile picture is me at my highest vs me at 7lbs heavier than I am now.
SW: 202; Size 16 (but I was in denial and was stuffing myself into my size 14's)
CW: 159.1; Size 10
Height: 5'1.50 -

Great job!0 -
My heaviest post pregnancy weight was about 165. When I started back again with MFP I was about 145 at a size 10 or 12. I am currently weighing between 127 and 130. My goal is 125 but I am interested in lifting and I think then I won't worry about the scale and worry more about inches gained/lost. I am 5'7" and I wear a size 6. I think if I put my mind to it I could fit in a size 4. I have a small body frame, zero hips.0

yup, her 12 is smaller than my 12 0 -
It used to be you'd 'add 4' to to US clothes sizes to get a UK size (so a size 8 US was a size 12 UK). NOw I believe it's 'Add 2' so 8 US is 10UK. HOwever I find US clothing brnads on the large size (I'm on UK) and as standard i'm a 10 UK but can be as low as a 4 in US sizes....crazy world eh?
Regadless - even if this weren't the case i have friends who are heavier/lighter than me and we're all the same size. You all look great and have done so well!!0 -
I went from a size 11-12 186 lbs to a size 0 after having my daughter a yr ago my waist size was 32 when I started and it is now a 25 I'm 5'3 128 1lbs now still going strong eating healthy and exercising a ton thanks to pop pilates, myfitnesspal, and hullo hopping0

That's interesting, and seems to hold true. I'm in the UK and mainly wear size 10. I use www.sizes.darkgreener.com to check the likely best fit for me in UK shops, and when I change to the US on that site it shows my measurements as being a size 2 in most of the shops. Now fair enough I'm probably getting towards an 8/10 UK sizes, but still.
I think I need to go on holiday and do some shopping for scientific research purposes ;-)0 -

Same! It takes me 30lbs to go down a jean size. I'm 183, 12, and not expecting, from past experiences, to hit a size 10 until 160. I have even been slightly below 160 before and still don't fit into a 10 comfortablely- my hips are too wide and I have a big butt. Most people said I'm "too skinny" when I hit a lose 12.0
