Weekend Motivation! Down 65 lbs and counting (with picture!)

CookieCatCatcher

I wish I had taken pictures when I was at my heaviest, but , alas - I hid whenever a camera came out!

I started at 240, but didn't join MFP until I got down to about 205 or so.

As of yesterday's weigh in, I was 175!

I still have a long way to go - cardio and GP Doctors want to see me down to about 130, based on my BMI. I'm thinking though that I would look sickly at that weight. Anyhow, I guess I'll see when I get there?

You look absolutely beautiful and I love your curves! Great job on your success so far and keep up the great work!

Great job we're the same height and about the same stats. You look great!

You look GREAT!!! I agree....at 5'7" 130lbs does not sound like a healthy weight. Maybe they will re-evaluate

laughingdani

You look great!! Awesome job!

I have found that the body tends to settle in at a comfortable weight. If I were you I wouldn't kill myself trying to meet a certain number, just because. See how your body looks and feels as you go along.

Congrats again and good luck on your future progress!

Personally, I feel good and think that I look great in the 140's and I am 5'2. Soooo....it's just a matter of opinion and perspective.

how long did it take you? what sort of workouts have you done??
keep up the great work...you'll be where you need to be before long!

I joined MFP in April of last year- I think?

I had already been losing on my own just by not eating... Which was not healthy.

I did the 30 day shred, and c25k, and I use the Kinect for Xbox a fair bit. Right now I'm following the Stronglifts program, along with my husband - and I'm running 3-4 times a week - trying to train for the Disney Princess Half next year.

As the first response said...you have beautiful curves! And I know what you mean about thinking you might look sickly at the weight that is "right"....numbers aren't always right You're doing great!

Good going! You look great!

You look beautiful -- what a great shape you have. The best is how happy you look though. I think 130 is very thin for someone with your height but at 5'5" I have never been less than 140 in adulthood so body build is definitely an issue. Keep going -- you are doing great.

You look great and I am sure you feel so much better

Congratulations! You look good at your present rate. You're right, 130 may be too little for you!

Great job!

You look great and I agree that 130 would be too thin for 5'7". I am somewhere around 5'7"ish and I am about 145 now and I don't see 130 happening. Good luck!!

rosarenee1

kasslass2

kevin3344

Wow, great job! I loved the 30 day shred as well...coupled with running it works wonders!

laurenrenee1025

I'm 5'7" too and in high school in a size 4, i still weighed 140!! I can't imagine 130 is a sustainable weight. Plus you look fantastic at 175!! Keep up the good work!

1Kristine1

At 5'7, 130lbs would be pretty low.
BTW You are rockin' 175. Good work.

alycat06

You look fabulous! And quite happy! I agree with others - ask your doctors to reevaluate the target weight. 130 seems a bit low based on your height. Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much guys - y'all are definitely helping me stay the course this weekend!

And, I think when I go for my 6 month check up, I'm going to talk to them about it.
