lost 34.4 pounds (underwear pics, sorry!) 165.5 to 131.2

did you end up losing a bra size after your weightloss? I have around the same body composition as you and was hoping my chest might go down some! haha

Well, I woulda lost a bra size had I not had augmentation years ago lol! I had nothing to begin with then, so nothing to lose!

sprinkies

Wow, amazing job. You are my new inspiration as I am at 161 and want to get to 125 and I am 5'6. Btw how long did it take you to get to your goal?

I started aug 11th and it took me until thanksgiving that I've weighed 131. My body has def become more lean in that month and even though I haven't seen the scale move I look a lot better. I took pics from the same angles since I started and I think that helped. I wish I woulda taken full body ones tho!

At first I thought the picture on top was your success picture but then I scrolled down and was really impressed. Great work.

Normally, posting pictures in your underwear is not appropriate but here in MFP showing your progress is what it is all about. I also feel shy about posting shirtless pictures but I can't talk about losing fat without showing what I'm dealing with.

As for maintaining you can try setting new goals. Now that your body fat is relatively low you could maybe focus on weight training. You are about as close to perfect as a person can expect to get but you could develop some more muscle without compromising your feminine figure. I'm not saying you need to, but having additional goals can keep you from gaining back fat.

yeah i definitely think i could work on gaining some muscle, as i'm not sure losing fat is a feasable goal anymore since i may start to look like a scary person. to gain muscle should i decrease my cardio workouts? (i have been doing 30-45 minutes 4x weekly) and just focus on spending time doing weights? i'm not really sure how to even lift weights, how much i should do, how many reps. i've been doing 2 reps of 12 at a weight that hurts by the time i'm done and i def don't feel like i could do another but is that enough? should i get p90x? take strength classes at the gym?

You could try some Pilates or Yoga. You won't build muscle but you'll definitely tighten up. I've heard yoga does amazing things for you hips and butt!

WOw! great work. This is so similar to where I am now, I am 165 and 5'8 (down from like 198 ish) and I want to get to 130, so your pics are very very inspiring! Thank you for posting!

royam01

I am SOOOOO glad you posted this! I look everyday for someon with my same height and start weight just to see where I could be if I kept it up I am currently 156 looking to be 130 5'7 You look great! You should be so very proud of yourself! I'm proud for you!!!!!!!!!!!

bellinachuchina

What I'd give to be 5'7"

You look GREAT!

abbiez

You look absolutely amazing!!! Its funny though how height plays a difference, I am 5ft nothing and weigh 135 and I dont look anywhere near that at all. Thats what sucks about being short hopefully though, with losing another 15-20lbs I can look hot like you

Great job!!! Keep up the good work

euca

Wow! Great job - you must be so delighted with the results! I love your story because you're the same height as me and I'm hoping for a similar weight loss (starting weight 156 lbs, would be happy to get to 135 - but 131 would be great too!). I can't believe that it only took you from August to Thanksgiving! That's very inspiring for me. Hopefully I'll have a similar story by Easter

hi everyone, this is my first post but i've been stalking this board since that start of my journey Aug 11, 2010. i'm 24, married for 1 year and finally realized i want to be the HOT WIFE and not the frumpy wife. i'm 5'7.5 and started at 165.5 pounds. i'm now at my GOAL WEIGHT WAHOO!!!!! (actually i'm about 4 pounds below) and i feel awesome. i couldn't have done it without myfitnesspal! and reading all of your success stories and pictures (that's definitely what kept me going!). so, here are my pics (i figure undies are no worse than a bikini so ehh)

This is SO inspiring to me...I got married & after only 1 year I gained 25lbs!!! Ish. I felt so uncomfortable in my body & ashamed to be seen by my hot husband...so far I have lost over 30lbs & have 17lbs to go to reach my goal weight! Thanks for sharing your pics & motivating story :flowerforyou:

Hey Hottie McSMokin! I'm in your boat, soon to be in your league! just started my weightloss journey 167 wanna be 125-120 (5'6") married 1 year to a friggin rockstar look alike and ready to beat every girl who vies for his attention (he is loyal no end but a girl can't help but be jealous when she has a few pounds to lose). anyway, what's your maintenance plan? I'm doing weight watchers lost 18 so far (started in nov) need to lose about the same to get where I wanna be and then doing the increase daily calories by 100-200 to maintain. Anyway, thanks for posting you have totally renewed my spirit! I was like in a slump thinking about having to lose the rest but now having seen your results and that you did it in just 4-5 months makes me totally realize it's doable and I'm on my way! Thanks for posting and you are welcome to friend!

Hey, sent you a fr! My plan to maintain is to continue to workout 3-4x weekly (30mins to an hour of cardio and intermittent use of the weight machines... Depends on my mood!) and to log everyday into MFP as I know I'll fall back into the same chubby boat if I don't. It's amazing how many calories are in food! I also plan to continue to eat fruits and veggies, and to not freak out if I screw up every now and again. Hopefully I continue to look slim and only get more toned!

I wish my friends were as encouraging as you guys are. People were telling me to stop 15 pounds ago when I knew I could do it

JessiA11

Wow you look absolutely amazing! Well done and congarulations

Thats what I love about MFP, everyone understands that everyone has specific goals they want to hit! I'm overweight by BMI but all of my friends "in real life" tell me I dont need to lose anything. They just dont see what I see. Everyone here understands what its like to want to get at a healthy BMI and a goal weight thats comfortable for you. Everyone knows what its like to want to just lose one more pound to hit your goal!

a1schwei

you look awesome

TeeTee11

well you look absolutely amazing. I can honestly say you are not the frumpy wife! You are the wife that the frumpy ones look at and envy. I envy you right now, but girl it's on! lol ..Hopefully by springs I will be on your level! congrats again!

JulieSue

You look amazing!!! I am hoping to lose about 40lbs (and then more if I can get there) and you are such an inspiration to me!!! Thanks for posting the pictures!!! What did you do to get there??? I know what you plan to do to maintain but how did you get to that in such a short amount of time!!! I am only 5'2 and at 167 right now and want to be at 135 or less by wedding day and then I want to maintain and never be up to 180's again (like I have been!!!) soo please share any stories you can and always keep posting!! such an inspiration!!!

and YES this place is amazing!!! I have friends that tell me to stop now and I am like umm no im chunky but they will say "oh you dieted all week and worked out very hard you deserve one day" and granted I may and I take my sneak snacks or my tastes to ful fill my craving I never want to consume what I have in the past!!! It was not good!!! All I can say is I am glad my metabolism does something for sure!!!! ) but enuff rambling!!! I am FR you and congrats!!!

Lisa__Michelle
