    Hi, I'm 230 and 5'7 and I know what you mean about feeling huge! I just keep telling myself I won't be like this forever, and besides, all bodies are beautiful!

    I was 223 and am 5'5. I've lost 73 pounds and have maintained it for a year now. You can do it!

    5'9 started at 250 and am currently at 182! I took it 5lbs at a time. It is duable. Slow and steady! Consistancy and good choices!!

    5'7 and highest recorded weight was 218lbs, but that was a few weeks after I started exercising and changed my diet so I'm 100% sure I was 220lbs+

    Right now I've been around 197lbs +/-2lbs for the past few weeks. I started lifting weights to try to save as much muscle as possible, so my weight loss isn't as fast as it was in the beginning. I may have gone down since last weighing in, but I won't know until April 1st (I only weigh in once a month).

    I'm definitely losing inches though, and my clothes have been getting looser and that's the most important part for me. Once I get near my goal weight (145ish) I'm ditching the scale completely.

    I started on MFP about 238lbs, the "before" here is heavier than that, closer to 250 maybe... I never weighed myself.

    I'm 5'7 and in the "after" I weigh 180lbs.

    My final goal weight is around 155lbs, it's totally achievable, if you want a supportive friend, I'm always up for new pals :)

    I'm 5'7" and started at 223 after having my daughter. I got down to 177 in a few months...but gained a bit back after a break up. I'll friend you!

    I'm 5'10" and started at 210 (my highest known weight... I wouldn't be totally surprised if I've actually weighed more.) Currently at 187. It's always possible! There are many people part of the MFP community who have lost 50lbs, 75lbs, 100lbs, even more! It's only impossible if you're not willing to try.

    Feel free to add me! This goes for OP and anyone else on this thread. I love new friends! =)

    I'm the other way round!
    I lost 50lb after a break up! Did not eat for weeks..or just a bit of toast.
    I guess people take it differently....

    You can definitely do it! I started out in January 2012 at 211lb and I'm now 157lb with another 10 to go (5'7"). Just stick to it and enjoy the changes and compliments along the way :)
