Hey Everyone! I'd love to see your before and after pictures as well as a post as to your height, weight, daily caloric intake, typical exercise routine and how long it took you to get your results. Can't wait to see!!!

Here you go:



Height: 5'4"
SW: 89.9kg (198lb)
Photo Weight: 61.8kg (136.2lb)
CW: 61.4kg (135.4lb)

I started my weightloss journey without tracking calories, and only began tracking in June. My cals are set at 1450 per day right now and I exercise with a HRM.

I have no secrets - eat less and move more is the only way to lose weight, changing your lifestyle permenantly is the only way to keep it off.

Ages Angelbee!! I started losing accidentally - when I started dancing in June 2010 from there I kept up dancing and kept losing for a year, when I stopped and trained with a trainer for 6 months, didn't really change my diet though and only lost 6kg (about 15lb) in that time, maintained for 6 months and then I started MFP have lost about 10kg (22lb) since I started MFP.

So in short it was 2 1/2 years but only 2x 6 months where I actually worked for it.

My before and during is my profile pic. Don't know how to post pics in the forums.


Height: 5'10
SW: 224lbs
Photo Weight: 165lbs
CW: 162lbs (i was down to 156 but the Holidays got me)

My ultimate goal is between 155 and 150

Most of the time I signed up for losing 1 lbs/week and followed whatever that calorie count was. Last month I switched to lose 0.5lbs a week and my calorie allotment is 1750/day. Monday I'm going to go back to 1lb/week which will likely be about 1530 cal/day

WOW! I started heavier than you, and am now lighter than you (I'm 5'3") and I still look a lot worse than your before! Well done.

I'm 5'9" and 146 in the after picture. 170 in the before. it's crazy how different a body can look after only losing 24 lbs when you're focusing on body recomposition. There's 7 months difference there, and keep in mind I'm actively flexing in the after picture.

I eat 2300-3000 calories a day (which is actually still at a small deficit), and I train like a beast. I run 10-12 miles a week, lift 2-3 x a week, do a lot of HIIT, pilates, just finished 30 Day Shred, Just started 6 week 6 pack, and am on the 7th week of insanity.

Great job keep up the good work!

I feel like I post this every where. My mid section is my trouble area, so that's why it's a close up.
Height: 5'4 3/4
SW: 185
Weight in the b4 photo: 175
After weight: 121.4
I started end of Aug 2011 and the so far photo was taken the day after Thanksgiving 2012.
When I was on track my calorie range varied, but 15-1700 seemed like it was my best range. I actually ate real low for the 1st 8 months. I think that's what contributed to my skinny fatness now. Cuz I didn't eat enough & did cardio, so I lost some of what little muscle I had. I used to kick box, now I lift heavy 3x a week. Sometimes I throw in some cardio on my days in between, especially if I kno I'm going out with friends & cant count. That way I have extra calories.
There is no secrets though. Just count ur calories, make sure u eat enough & exercise, you will lose

OMG!!!!! you're awesome!! Thanks for the pics..one of the things that really worries me is that my skin will hang with the more weight I lose...it is kind of a demotivator...but thank you!

I just have to say... that you are my motivation. My midsection looks alot like yours at the beginning and I'm so inspired by the idea that it could end up looking like yours at the end. Thank you so much for posting!!!

I feel the EXACT SAME WAY. My stomach sticks out farther than the rest of my body. So motivating.

I don't have afters yet...so a *bump* to motivate me to fight toward my goal of losing 40 and building muscle! You all look awesome.

annacham

Wow, so motivating, especially the lovely stomach transformations as that is my trouble area - thanks for posting

teaspoon43

Very motivating... I always wonder what my stomach might look like at the end and if it's worth it, now I think it is

Fit_Mama84

Thanks for sharing. I know there are no secrets. I wasn't looking for secrets. I was hoping to find someone with a similar build and exercise routine who got results so I see how many calories they take in. I'm having a very hard time figuring out the right amount of calories to eat. All the online calculators give me answers from 1200 a day to 1700 a day and that's a huge range. But again, thanks for sharing your successes!

After:



I'm 5'5", currently 117lbs, take in about 1600-1800 calories per day, and exercise 4-5 days a week (using Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVDs). I started in June (was 164 then - had already lost 10 lbs) and reached my goal weight in December (120). I'm still trying to figure out my maintenance.

I'm 5' 5" and 25 years old.
Starting weight: 151
Current weight: 143

Starting waist: 31"
Current waist: 28"

Time between photos: 6 weeks
Average caloric intake: 2500 cal/day

I do olympic weightlifting 2 days a week (1 hour session), and a crossfit workout 2-3 days a week. Prior to these past six weeks, I had been doing this workout schedule for a year and a half, and was probably eating 2000-2200 calories a day. I upped my calories, but also decreased my intake of anything that turned to glucose (sugar) in my bloodstream, and increased my intake of fat. My details of this six week experiment are in my blog here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/dadams10



I actually would love to add a few more friends to follow on MFP. I'm not typically a big forum poster, but was looking to find a few more active buddies!

Oh - and in week 5 of these past 6 weeks, I also PRed my backsquat at 180lbs! That's what I'm actually most proud of

Oh - this was me a year and a half ago. I actually weighed 151lbs here as well; the same as I weigh in my "before" picture from 6 weeks ago. Obviously 151lbs in these photos is me with a very different body composition.

Here is mine:

SW: 95kgs
PW: 77kgs
CW: 76kgs

I started last Oct 31, 2012. I jog 3-4 times a week and if I didnt get to jog, I'd lessen my calories intake for the day to not more than 1000Kcal then I do 30-40 leg raises just to sweat a little. If I'm really hungry, I grab on a cup of yogurt or eat prunes or plums. They're good anti-oxidants so it's really healthy. And oh, I drink a lot of water everyday like it should not be less than 8 glasses/day. My target weight is 55-60kgs by the end of March 2013. I really hope this goes well for me. Good luck on your weight loss guys! And the key to everything is DISCIPLINE!

stephross88

Starting Weight 302 pounds
Current Weight 190 pounds
Goal Weight 140-150 pounds

I started in March 2012. Make sure to be active for at least 30 minutes per day and make better choices. I cut out diet soda completely and drink only water. I need to work on toning pretty bad since I lost the weight so quickly but I feel SO much better!
