I had lost 19 lbs before joining MFP since april 2011. It has taken me a while, a few setbacks and a lot of gains and downs. But hoping to get out of the slump and getting down under 200 lbs

My highest weight ever was about 224. I started here around 209. I am currently bouncing between 155 and 160.

I've really cleaned up my diet, didn't eat bread for over a year, no sodas for almost 2 years now, boosted my protein and drink 1-1.5 gallons of water per day.

However, i have also gone from being mostly sedentary to being a gym fiend - i have a personal trainer, and i lift weights 8-9 hours per week, plus about 6 hours of varied cardio. And now that it is summer time, i am swimming a couple of hours a week.

I went from a size 18 to a loose size 8, can wear 4s and 6s in some brands. I also had a lower body lift in March, which did wonders for my self esteem. The surgeon took off 6 pounds of excess skin, but i did not need any lipo at all.

I am 43, and i've had 7 babies.

My husband has been so motivated by my transformation, he has dropped 80 pounds and looks even better than when we met almost 20 years ago.

If i can do it, so can you!

I am 5'4" and my starting weight was 199. I am now 183. Not success story, but I am losing. Goal weight is 150, maybe a bit less. One pound/One day at a time. I already feel better. Good to know we are in this together.

I'm 5'2 and was 256 at my wedding 6 years ago - i'm now 144 with a goal weight of 130.

I discovered spinning 2 years ago and that really set me on the path that I'm on today -it's intensity level is what it took to keep me motivated and making progress. Keep on going! It's not easy at all - but it's 50% what you lose (weight/body fat) and 50% what you gain (confidence, self-worth/self-love, positive connections). Good luck!

I finally added some strength training into my regimen (30 Day Shred). Even though I hung on the lbs for a few weeks while my body adjusted, I dropped inches for sure. I'm also starting to drop some of the lbs now that my body is use to the strength training. I have a family beach vacation starting August 4th and I'm really aiming to be at 155 or lower. I think it's possible!
