Wow you absolutely amazing!!

It took me 6 months after giving birth to pull my self together and start working out. I was 140lbs prior to pregnancy, but was not even close to being as toned. I didn't work out and ate a lot of bad food. Fast foods, soda, sugary treats, ext, but I always stayed 140lbs. So when I finally started it was first of June 2014. I lost 40lbs in about 8 months. It was a trial and error the whole way there, as I knew nothing of nutrition and exercise. Still don't

It only allows me to type so much! But basically, I made few mistakes in the beginning. I ate very few calories then my body required and hit a plateau very quickly. I started taking notes on my calorie intake, taking in consediration
my activity level. My calorie intake was between 2100- 2200, including the calories burned that day. I worked/work out 4-5 times a week. 2-3 times strength training and 2 days low intensity cardio. Always eat the food that is nutritious to my body and skip the food that is not. I eat a lot of protein, 1g/1lb. Very important for losing fat verses muscle. Treat your self on weekends!

Also the most important I completely forgot drink a lot of water! It helps the body burn fat, keeps the bloat away and makes the body look more defined when it is not dehydrated. I drink about 72oz a day

I'm 6"0 SW 255 pounds because of depression, baby weight, snacking, stuff like that. CW 175 pounds after 3 years of dieting. GW 117 pounds, so I have about 55 pounds to go. I'll lurk this thread.

Just FYI: your goal weight puts you underweight per BMI. Yes, BMI isn't a fail proof measure of health, but 117 pounds at 6'0 would make your BMI 15.9 (underweight is anything under 18.5). You may want to reevaluate your goal and set it at a healthier body weight for your height. To have a normal BMI, you would need to weigh at least 137 pounds.

Well I'd love the way I'd look if i were 117 pounds In the end, it just depends on how I'll look when I am 135-140 pounds. But, thank you for the heads up.
Sorry, I have no pictures!
Favorited this thread so I can read through it later. Everyone looks so nice. wow.

I'm 179cm around 5'10
Highest weight was 180 working in a hot country and discovering soda for the first time at 25 (hippie parents wasn't allowed it as a kid.)



I'm down to 160 now and my goal weight is 149 but I won't push it if I start to look to skinny.
I have a slim top half and waist and carry all my weight in my legs, butt and thighs so I have fallen in love with cycling, so much fun it doesn't feel like I'm exercising.


I'm pretty healthy but my big weakness is sugar and I'm working on cutting down and drinking herbal tea instead, I'm eating around 1600 calories a day.

Love looking through this thread for inspiration! I've lost 50lbs since April 2015 but fell off track in November. Haven't regained but I want to lose another 30-45lbs. You ladies are all getting me motivated again!

theskinnyonme

I love this thread! I have no photos to share. I am 5'9" with a SW of 276, a CW of 246, and a GW of 160.

This is one of my favorite threads. I have a way to go but wanted to share. Didn't have too many photos from my highest weight in 2013. I started getting serious about eating healthy and exercising this past September so wanted to share the photo from right before then. I've lost a few more pounds since the last photo. I will be 50 this month.

I'm 5' 9.5".

SW 220
CW 185

I am 5'8" and full hipped. Carry a lot still in my lower half, but things are looking better!

You are in luck, as I just did a before/during photo & thread last night. Haha.

I'm 5'10 and have a very solid frame! I am still kicking myself for not doing a 'proper' before pic - I was just too insecure! I do have a photo from that time and have paired it with a recent one of me in a similar pose (and the same coat! Haha), holding my daughter. The Before is this January at 272 lbs and my then 15mo - the During was 2.5 weeks ago with my now 2yo and I'm about 191 in that pic.



I am loving all these pictures, ladies! Keep up the good work! I know how hard it is to be tall AND big! We can do it!
And I personally have been so jealous of shorter ladies who can lose a smaller amount and have it be really visible. I lost 50lbs and ppl barely noticed! It's the last 30lbs that ppl have commented... like, seriously?! hahah
