MissFuchsia

I'm 5'8 and started at 240 lbs. I'm now maintaining between 138-145 lbs. I consider myself to be large framed

If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? You look so much younger now!

Thanks. I feel much younger

I'm 28 now and was 24 I think in the before picture. I had to use an old pic as I always avoided the camera back then

wow! first and foremost, all of you guys are inspirational!!!! I consider myself a larger frame as well... i started my journey off and on a couple of times. started seriously going at it on april of 2011 i was weighing in at 240 and was so scared and sad that i had let myself go. i have always been bigger but i couldnt see myself packing on the pounds until i had to step on the scale at the drs office. boy was that an eye opener.....not only was i heavier than my last check up, i had a choice to make, eat healthy and loose weight or get on med for my cholestoral, sugar and blood pressure. so healthy it was. from april to about nov i was able to loose 20 lbs but then just stayed there for a while. then a friend mention mfp and i decided to give it a go....honestly best advice i had ever been given...i tracked regularly and made new friends..participated in challenges and lost an additional 30 lbs....lately i havent been able to loose any addtl pounds, i havent gained any either so i'll count my blessings...but i also havent been logging in as well as i had at the begingin. starting to see a pattern here. my goal is to eventually reach 150-145lbs i just need to step up my game. but thank you guys for posting your stories and pic, truely inspiring!!!!

I'm not a tall lady 5'4" but have always been a larger lady. I have been slowly losing weight since Oct 2012 starting at 246lbs.



The second is of me yesterday at 215lbs.



It's a gradual process but want to make sure that it's something that is going to stick and not be a fad diet.

Great job ladies!

I'm 5'8" I use to think I had a large frame, but I'm no longer sure. I do have broad shoulders I think.

I'm 5'3" and started last July 20th (270+ days on MFP) at 280 currently at 253.5. I've always considered myself large frame. It has been a really slow loss for me, but I've learned so much and been discouraged, but haven't given up once! I also have pcos, which is a stubborn beast. I try to focus more on how my clothes are fitting, than the scale. I have my old fav Levi's on today that I haven't had on in over two years, that is far more exciting than a number drop on the scale! I started training for my first 5K in Aug. and currently run 2 miles/day, next week I'm tossing in an additional mile and will work up from there. I'm slow as a snail, but it's better than sitting doing nothing! My goal weight is 180 and it will change as I get there, I'm sure. No photos yet.. haven't gotten over that shyness to share.

I am 5'7, and started at 290, this pic is at 210, and I am 201 now... (only take pics every 20lbs)

i am 5'8" very barrel chested. broad shoulders and hips. i would certainly call my frame large. heck even at my high eight of 274 you could see my collar bones. i'm 220.8 (yes that .8 is important...mostly because it isn't 221). i lost my first 40 pounds super fast then gained back 10 then lost 20 more and sat there for almost a year. i started back up a couple of weeks ago and have dropped another 4 so far. i've found some new motivation in needing to build our savings back up from a bathroom remodel, vacation, and a broken stove and in that i am worried about my husband gaining back all he has lost. gotta stay on top of these things :-)

this is him and i on our wedding day. about a month before i started here


and though not a full body shot here is a head shot of us last august in mexico


i'm not sure what my goal is yet. i'll know when i get there i guess. when i started i wanted to be thinner than i was in high school, i passed that probably 30 pounds ago. at the moment i am thinking at least 25 more pounds. then i will reevaluate.

Katiedid717

5'7", 27 years old. I have long limbs and a short torso, tend to gain in my stomach/chest.

When I started in September, I weighed 220 pounds (99.8 kg). I don't have any full body pics from then, but I DO have this picture from my sister's wedding on May 12, 2012 (I'm on the far left):



When I weighed myself yesterday, I was down to 187 pounds (84.8 kg). The picture below was taken on March 15, 2013 - I was about the same weight, give or take a couple of pounds:



At present, my goal weight is 165 pounds (74.8 kg), because the last time I was at that weight I wore a size 6 pants. Once I get to 165, I may decide to lose some more weight, but the absolute lowest I'm willing to go is 150 pounds (68.4 kg) - I feel like anything lower might look too skinny.
