i am 5'1" and started out bulging out of my size 14s, at 193+lbs. Currently, i fluctuate around 145lbs and i am wearing mostly 8s and a couple of size 6s. Note that i carry all of my weight in my belly and chest though, so my legs and bum are smaller. I cant post photos in the thread but they are in my profile! The red tank top ones are my befores.

I started off on MFP in January weighing in at 185lbs and at a size 18. It was horrible being that heavy... I've never been an overly skinny girl but that was the heaviest I've ever been and I was beyond miserable. My blood pressure was high, I couldn't really do anything physical and I was tired all of the time.


That photo was at my heaviest.

Now I'm down to 158lbs and a size 12 and feeling more fantastic by the day. My blood pressure is where it should be (most importantly!) and I look fantastic. I'm just over 8 weeks from an overly belated honeymoon on the beach and am kicking myself into gear to lose the 8lbs for an even 150lbs. My ultimate goal is 140.


This one was taken back in May and I've lost another 5lbs since then so I look even better now!

I started at a size 10/12, weighing 166lbs, I am 5'8 - I am down to a size 5/6 at 142lbs - put on a little weight while away on my two week honeymoon, so just getting back to things this week. All I did was committed myself to exercising at least 4 days a week, I love rockin' body and P90X - though I did not following either of these programs as suggested, I simply did the dvd I felt like, and every once in a while would switch them up with a run. I also completely changed my eating, I not only tried to eat much cleaner, but if I did want a treat of eating junk I would do it just in a much smaller portion size. I am eating at least 1200 calories per day, and usually eat back all of my exercise calories.

All your stories are so inspiring! I love it. Sizes are such a funny thing - I learned long ago that the number doesn't matter as much as how it looks on. That being said, I do not like that I have to go to the 14's now first, when the 10's used to fit nicely. But I think MFP is going to help alot. This is my second day, and the food diary has already helped tremendously.

I'm hoping to get back to an easy size 10, and I will do it!

Thanks for sharing your stories!

I weighed in at 200 lbs at my first weight watchers meeting in Dec. 2008. I suspect I got a little higher than that in the previous months, but I had my fat moment at Thanksgiving when I ate so much I was actually in pain and then caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was a tight 14, comfortable 16 on the bottom and 12/14 on top.

Anyway, it's taken me 3.5 years to lose the weight and I am still about 10lbs from my goal weight. I am trying to focus more on toning and muscle gain than weight loss, now though. I am now a 8/10 on the bottom and 6/8 on top. I've been all over the place with how I lost the weight, but I have never, in the last 3.5 years, said "I'm on a diet" ... I've had long plateau's, gained 4 pounds back, then lost 8. I did Weight Watchers for a while. I did Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Strength Training for a while. All in all looking back at my journey to this point the biggest thing has been exercise and portion control. I don't deny myself anything, but I don't over indulge. The biggest, biggest, BIGGEST thing has been logging my food and using measuring cups. Keeping track of what I eat and actually measuring my portion sizes has been the hugest help. And MFP has been major in losing the last 13 pounds I've lost.

Here are some pictures of my face, there are more on my profile. I'm just having trouble uploading right now:

I started off at a size 16 (probably should have been wearing 18s though, to be honest) and about 210 pounds (5'4") and at the moment I'm a size 8 and at last count 156 pounds!

Before, hiking:


Now (during), before a beach trip, hence the bathing suit underneath haha:


Basically I've eating ~1200 calories a day since January 1st, 2012. I did the C25K Program and have fallen in love with running (doing the Color Run next weekend!) and I joined a gym, which has consisted of the treadmill, the elliptical, the bike, and some weights. Everyone in here looks so great, congrats everyone!
