Any 5'6 women out there who lost 70 lbs?

leighdiane91

So I always see success stories about women shorter, or taller, or with more to lose, or less to lose, than me. All of the success stories are amazing and they are what keep me going sometimes! But... I think it would be really interesting to see someone who is the same height as me and around the same starting weight, who got to there goal of 70 lbs lost.


So any women who are 5'6, started around 200-210 lbs, and lost 65-75 lbs? pictures please?

I'm 5'6" and lost over 70lbs. Started by focusing on hitting my calorie goal and macro's 40% carbs, 30 protein, 30 fat and walking for 20 minutes 3 days a week. I started logging on April 26 (but really started losing in Feb by mostly lower calories and carbs) and have not taken a day off since. I'm now in maintenance, 140lbs, and training for a Sprint Triathlon. I have a FitBIt and used a similar device since June 2012. Totally motivates me every day to keep moving. I'm not good at posting pics but there are some in my profile.

Good luck and read this thread; http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

Hi there! I'm somewhere around 5'6" and 5'7". I weighed 210 at my heaviest and am now at 137. I still have 13 more to go til I reach my goal, and I've started the 30 day shred this week to hopefully start toning. Here is a link to my results pics:

I am 5'6" and in 2006 weighed 220lbs. I got down to (early 2010)by keeping a food diary in a little black book. I feel off the wagon, hit 40 and then got back up to 194. I joined in May 2012 and am down to 183 again and hopefully will be back at 167 again soon. I had some difficulty trying to balance work, family, school with exercise ... but it seems I might have figured it out. Maybe I will hit my goal in the next year. I only lost 50 the first time...but will get there again and will eventually reach 70!

You look fantastic! Congratulations.

5'6" and I've lost way more than 70lbs, but to be honest I had it to lose, I have about 80 to 85 more to go. I'm 19lbs less now.

Thank you!! Well, most of the weight came off in about a year or less, but the past year has been all about body recomposition and fat loss. Its a much slower process
