I did it... I finally met my goal! I started at 158 and am currently 125. ..for a total of 33 pounds lost! I am 5'8. I feel amazing and I am so proud of what I have been able to accomplish. I still would like to lose maybe 5 more pounds and do some toning. It has been so great learning about eating healthy and getting into shape. Everyone on MFP has been so supportive. Thank you!!

    Congrats! I'm so glad you posted your success because we have very similar weight loss goals. I started at about 154 and I'm hoping to get down to 120-125. I'm curious - how tall are you and how long did it take? I'm 5'4", lost 20 lbs and it's been 21.5 weeks. I have about 10 lbs left at this point. Thanks!

    Congrats, you look amazing! How did you do it, like diet/workout? And may I ask how tall you are? I'm aiming at about 125 lbs as well, which means I have to lose another 20, and I'm 5'8" so I don't know if it's a little too much for me or not. But you really do look great, good job!

    I am 5'8. It took me about 5 months... I have tried to stay around 1200 calories/day and I have just been doing cardio up to this point... running, walking, or going for bike rides. Now I want to find some good work outs that can help me tone. Good luck... I know you can do it!

    I gained my weight when I was pregnant with my first baby... I thought the weight would come off on its own but I quickly learned that it didn't. Eating for me was by far the biggest factor.Other 5'8 gals... whats your goal?

    Wow!!! Congrats girl! You look amazing!!!! Be proud!!!

    Try any workouts by Jillian Michaels. I'm doing the 30 Day Shred right now, and even though the workout is kicking my butt, I can tell its making a difference and I'm losing inches!! She's one tough cookie, but I think does a great job of giving you a great workout! :)

    though you've had it said many times... i also want to extend my congratulations. you look fantastic! the weight loss isn't all that's changed. in your before pics, your body language spoke volumes about how unhappy you were with yourself. your after pics show you smiling and confident. your body language says, "bring it on, i can do anything". i like that. it's great to hear of successes, but it's always just a little bit better to see the way people blossom with new-found self-confidence. congratulations to you!

    Again....congrats! Wow!! I'm 5'8" aswell and just joined this site and like you am trying to loose baby weight from my first babies.(twins!) I'm 160 now and really only trying to get down to 145ish because I have never been super small. But your pics are inspiring! How many days a week were you doing cardio? Any other tips or tricks for eating well? I am trying to stay motivated sticking to 1200 calories.
