The year before I started losing weight, so probably 275-285? Started officially at 273, currently at 213. I wish I'd taken better before/after pictures but oh well. Not done, but maintaining for a while.2 -

This is my before and after photo. I have lost 70 pounds and currently working on 15 more. I am built like a pear. Small bust but very big hips and butt. I have lost the weight in a course of a year and half. My biggest advice to you is:
1) BE PATIENT- The weight will not fall off at once. This was my biggest obstacle. Like anything in life, great work takes time and dedication. So don't give up! If you had a bad day it's not the end of the world.
2) Weight train: I lost most of my weight when I started focusing on strength training (mostly legs). The legs have the biggest muscles in the body. More muscle=high metabolism===> High metabolism = more weight loss
Good luck with your journey! It will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself
WOW! WOW! WOW! I'm going to keep reading your post to keep me going! Thanks for sharing.

After having my second child a year ago I focused on weight training now at 150 lbs and more toned. Started at 193lbs then I lost a lot of weight but I was skinny-fat at 145lbs. So I started weight training at it made all the difference!

Following.
I'm 5'7 1/2" tall -- I round up to 5'8"!! I went to a weight loss physician and they had me stand on a specialized scale and they told me based on my bone mass, etc, etc, the "healthy" weight for my age/frame would be 205! My jaw about hit the floor. I have NEVER heard this before in all my years of weight loss struggle. I'd love to be under 200 (goal weight is 190).
Loving all the progress pics of ladies my height on here!!0 -
I am 5'9" Medium frame. Lost 30lbs so far and 20 to go, but here is before and nowish.2 -

First time photo post so forgive me if it doesn't work. Previous pics are in profile, current pic is shown. I'm 5'10" & 44 years. Starting weight 235 to 152. Currently maintaining for almost 2 years and comfortable around 160-165.

It is really inspiring to see these photos. I especially like seeing the women who look so gorgeous and slim, but the scale still doesn't say a tiny number (not that there is a problem when it does). I was a competitive athlete when I was younger and at my absolute lightest was still 175lbs (but pretty slim and very strong). Its nice to remember that some women, especially taller ones, can be so strong and beautiful and that final number doesn't need to be just over 100lbs. I have gained a lot of weight in the last few years and am just starting my journey to lose weight. Thanks for all inspiration ladies!!!!0

Ladies these are awesome!

i struggled with an undiagnosed gluten intolerance until i was 20, and as many of you want to say gluten is hooey, it changed my life. my entire body shape changed, my mood, my energy. with the help of living GF and dieting, i was able to get down to 158, my lowest weight since high school.... unfortunately i lost track of my goals, didn't see how much weight i was putting on, went through a rough break up, drank too much.... lost my job and became less active..... now i'm here. i go to mexico in 5 weeks and my boyfriend is coming with. mildly terrified. it's been 3 months now where i've been uncomfortable with my size, but been able to hide it. kicking it into high gear for the next few weeks.
around 185
mid weight loss around 170
lowest weight at 158
currently at 165-167ish
You are my height and I can't weight to get to 158 again... can't wait to get back there. Thanks for posting.

All these posts are so amazing! And such great inspiration, everyone's done so well and looks so great.
Mine isn't a before and after as such as it's still a work in progress
I'm 5"7 (5"8 on a good day, does that count? haha). I have found though that with my weight loss my posture is improving so maybe I'll hit 5"8 and be part of the club!

Holy monkey! That is incredible, what exercise/diet plan are you doing? I hate the word diet because that words makes it seem temporary, but I just mean how many calories/IIFYM/paleo/whatever nutrition/eating plan..0 -

Oh my god! YOU have just massively inspired me. You've achieved amazing results. You must be really proud. I'm 194 right now and want to aim to lose 21 lbs in around 3 months.
I have been feeling a huge lack of motivation, but this makes me think it can be done.

Thank you! that's so lovely to hear, I never thought I'd inspire anyone haha. I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it for so long when I've failed so many times before, but then I did get myself into this state so its only me that can get me out of it! That seems like a pretty reasonable goal It's hard work but 7lbs a month is probably quite doable And it definitely can! dont give up Watch_Me_Rise wrote: »All these posts are so amazing!

haha thanks I'm not a huge fan of the word 'diet' either but sometimes its shorter/easier than 'eating plan', but I know what you mean
I'm not on any kind of low carb/paleo/clean eating etc eating plan. Personally, I dont think its necessary unless you have a medical condition, but if it works for people then that's great! I just couldn't live without carbs or the occasional chocolate bar. The only reason this has worked, and I cant stress this enough, is that I weigh EVERYTHING.
At the moment I'm on 1200 calories. I don't tend to pay too much attention to macros but for anyone interested my goals are 50% carbs (150g)/ 20% Protein (60g)/ 30% fat (40g) . I eat pretty much whatever I fancy but within moderation and with 'healthy' alternatives, and I do try and make sure I get enough protein. (ETA I also occasionally eat to maintenance and have a treat meal about once a week, wether its a meal at a nice restaurant or takeaway, I just make sure I dont overeat)
My main issue was snacking, I'm a grazer, but I've found a few things that work for me. I keep a lot of 100 cal snacks in the house so I know I can grab one if I'm hungry without breaking my calorie limit (kitkats, low cal cereal bars, sugar free jelly pots- some are only 5 cals!, cracker breads with laughing cow low fat cheese etc). I've also replaced a lot of my favourite foods and ingredients with low fat substitutes.
I started off exercising 5 times a week for at least 20 mins, then slowly upped my workouts to 40 mins to an hour. I've recently got a new job so workouts have taken a bit of a back burner but I still make sure I workout on days off, so at the moment my exercise plan is about an hour 3 times a week. I use FitnessBlender and their Youtube channel, and started with the beginner workouts etc (so difficulties 1 and 2).
Sorry for the long post but it's kinda hard to sum up so many lifestyle changes and still keep it concise haha. Hope this helps 2 -
Thank you x and I just realised I forgot to say my height - 5'8".0

I'm 5'9" and part way through losing approximately 60lbs. I started at 216lbs (highest I've ever been) and now I'm back down to what has typically been an average weight for me, my whole life; 175lbs. I'm totally down with that but I think I want it to be my absolute top weight if I ever gain again - i.e. that will be the signal to stop with the crazy munching and slothing. Food is hard.
One thing that really shocked me was how much fat I carry on my back. I guess I never take pictures of my back to see - but I'm really quite amazed at the transformation!
Anyway, my goal is to be around 155lbs and I'm getting so much closer! 41lbs down now and only 19 to go! I love eating so I'm going really slow - my plan is to finish this "journey" as it were, by December of 2015. Here are my current pics!

200lbs:
186lbs:

Have you sent your pics to Kelli and Daniel? It's amazing the progress you've made, and made me want to get back on with their fitness plans. Thanks!

@fanncy0626 - Hi thanks for asking, all I’ve done is stuck (pretty religiously) to my calorie limit (1260 a day which seems low for my height but I’m sedentary (desk job in a tiny office so I barely move for most of the day). I’m careful to get enough protein each day as I don’t want to lose muscle mass, after that I’m not too bothered about fat/carbs at present.
No food is ‘off limits’ – but being on low calories I need to be careful with nutrition, so my diet is pretty healthy. If I fancy a treat I just have a very small amount of it. I don’t tend to drink my calories (barring the occasional blow-out!). My diary is open if you want to take a look (bear in mind I had a camping trip in the last week when both logging and diet went completely awry – but that’s fine, I’m back to it now and I felt confident to let rip for a few days knowing I’d pick it up again this week…)!!
My weight loss may seem fast but at first I only lost 2lb per week (even in the first couple of weeks I never got the initial water loss that people talk about - I’ve always drunk plenty of water so I probably wasn’t retaining water to begin with). Recently my loss has slowed to more like 1lb per week which is intentional as I get closer to goal.
I’ve exercised approx 4/5 times a week with cardio plus strength training, plus the odd run - and I eat about 50% of exercise calories back.
I don’t see this as a short-term thing to get me to my goal weight. I’ve enjoyed the process and it hasn’t been too hard. I’m loving being back in the gym and barring injury I can’t see any reason why this isn’t a lifetime change. I now understand food and nutritional values far better - so my hope is that in the future I’ll be successful at maintaining…
Good luck everyone

I am not sure about my scale being correct, because when I go to doctors office every year, I weight in about 8 lb more than on home scale. But I am not going to worry about it, and concentrate on the difference.
Here are my before pictures. I would like to go down 12-15lb. My waist is 30.0 and hips are 38.5 and would like to loose at least 2in - 4in on both. I need to look at my measurements from 10 years ago and see what they were and aim for that.
Last 10 years I work an office job, sit all day long, and that has added these extra lb, plus not minding much what I eat. This website is great on keeping up with food calories!
Really glad to see another tall-y shooting for a lower weight range. I am 5'11 and goal weight of 130-135. I am currently sitting at 142.5 though you look WAY better than I do at this point!2
