So this was me last year around 145 pounds. I don't have any pictures from this March when I weighed this much but it was about the same.

This is currently me this morning weighing in at 133.2 lbs

I have definitely changed! No high calorie foods for me! Much smaller meals but 6 times a day! I have always struggled with about 20 lbs of weight and am finally taking care of it! Just 12 lbs and look at this! I'm very proud! ANYONE can do this too! Add me if you'd like motivation (:

    Congrats!! i agree....i lost 26lbs over a year ago and was stuck at 141, i have since gained about 14 of it back and boy does it show!! I am only 5'1" and makes me look large and stocky.....HORRIBLE....my frame isn't built for that extra weight. So i am glad to see that my goals are feasible......thanks for sharing! :0)

    Wow! I'm amazed and motivated! I'm 150 pounds or so when i started, maybe 155 and 5'3', trying to get to 130 and want to look like that!
  • Oh the woes of us shorties! 5'2" and I need to be at the most 125 to not look like a blob, and have been working hard to get there. Ankle stress and shin splints a many, but I'm inching closer!

    Very encouraging. We are the same height, and 148 was my starting weight - I hope I can look as good with 12 pounds off! Thanks for sharing - good motivation for me.

    I hear you girl! I too am 5 4" and just this morning I weighed in to find I've lost 12.6 .lbs! I have had friends comment on the fact that I look like I have lost weight and I feel way better in my clothes. I had set my goal to loose a realistic 15 lbs because I have found it so hard to even loose 5 lbs in the past.......well, I'm almost there and now that I feel "I CAN DO THIS" I plan to loose an extra five. :) I am turning 40 this year and it's time to make that change for the good! Keep up the good work you all!

    That's great, thanks for posting those photos.

    I'm only 4' 10" and while it takes a LOT longer to lose weight when you're this size, it really does show. I've "only" lost 10lb since joining this site, but that's two inches off my hips and nearly the same off my waist!

    amazing!! congrats on a great journey so far...i'm jealous, i've lost 20lbs and it hasn't made anywhere near the difference 12 has for you. but i am 5'9"...those inches in height make a huge difference!

    Congrats again, keep it up :)

    Wow. I weigh 133 lbs right now and I WISH I looked like you..... That extra 4 inches helps a lot. Jealous.

    What a change! SO jealous of you little girls! I know it goes both ways; a five pound flux doesn't effect my jeans fitting, but man, would it be nice to lose 12 lbs. and have it make that much of a difference! Great work!
