tryinghard2012

I started at 346, now 242, 6 feet tall. Took me a lot of hard work and discipline. I'm not at goal yet, but in the process. I'm hoping to hit goal by September- October.

On the left, June 2010 at around 285 pounds [that's a plate of cake in my hand]. On the right, late April/early May of 2011 at 177 - 178 or so.



And just to bring it back one more time for vanity's sake:

Oh, and I'm 5'10" btw. Forgot to mention that. Hahaha.

I am only 5'5" and my goal weight is currently set to 164. I have a large frame and just cannot see myself getting much lower than that.

Here is a link to my progress thread with some pictures:

Currently, I'm 269lbs. I'm 5'10" and my goal is 157lbs. Personally, I think 120lbs is too thin for 5'9". But, shoot for it girl! You'll never know until you try!

Whoever told you that is nuts. 120 pounds at 5'9 is a BMI of 17, not healthy! A BMI of 22 (the healthiest BMI) is 150 pounds but 170 puts you in the healthy range for your height. I think that setting a goal for healthy BMI is the best thing to do.

I was 264 last year at this time. I'm at a high of 190 right now. I posted a before and after thread this week. Ill go look for the link. It feels great to move down a bit.

We're almost the same! I'm 5'9", started at 274 and am currently 243. My goal weight is 170-175. I allowed myself extra weight because I'm already pretty muscular, and muscle weighs more than fat. I'm also planning to try and stay as curvy as possible, I'd rather not be super skinny. So 170ish is my healthy weight.

I was 281ish and I'm down to 197 today! I'll be posting pictures in a week or two.. as my 1 year is coming up so keep a look out or check out what I have up on my profile

Edit to say: I'm 5'4 and I think my goal was around 135 lbs the BMI said but not sure if I'm going that low, according how I look as I get closer... I am "big boned" as people say so I might not get that far.. we'll see.. I can still tell by looking in the mirror I have a ways to go.
