Im yo yoing between 55 and 60 lbs lost on this plateau. But I'm confident I can get to my 66 lb goal. I'm almost there! So close!

I've done other diets like WW and LA Weight Loss with limited success, but nothing has worked as dramatically or for as long as MFP!

So these were me around 186ish and a tightish size 14/16

Now for the good stuff - these were all taken between May and July between 130 and 140ish and a 8, except for the orange tank one which is the most recent at size 4/6 (but still mostly on the 6 end)

Edit - sorry for the small pic sizes. I was trying not to make them huge and went too far the other way!

    The best thing I did was pay for a trainer at the gym. I'm super cheap and figured if I was paying for something I'd be darned if I didn't get my money's worth! I also try to limit my snacking, but I've fallen off that wagon in the last 2 weeks. I have to get back to the grind now that school is starting again. I also save a lot of calories by drinking a venti iced skinny latte for breakfast and eating a slightly bigger lunch.

    oh Wow! Iam exactly on the same boat. 5" 1' height, 180 lbs and a tight 14/16 size and a weight loss goal of 63 pounds. Iam so thrilled to read your story here.

    Recently I have just lost 3 pounds and feel great about it.

    You can do it, just stick with it! Some weeks in the beginning I lost a lot and others I even went up, but it'll all even out! :-)

    I joined an LA Fitness and you can pay extra for trainers there. They just assigned me to one when I decided to go for it and he's awesome!

    You look great! I am similar stats. 5'4". Starting weight of 199, tight 14/16. I have only been doing this religiously for 2 weeks, down 10lbs so far. I am determined this time! My goal weight loss is not as high as yours, I will be quite content with 45 lbs total, but will certainly keep going if I get there.

    Beginning to get into a work out routine too. It is tough to get going, but I will do this!

    Thank you for sharing, it's so motivating!

    Honestly my original goal was to get to 150, but as I got closer to that I kept adding another 10 lbs and so on and so forth because I thought I could keep getting there (I'm very competitive with myself.) 66 would put me at 120 and that is where I draw the line though!

    As a fellow 5'2" female, all I can say is WOW - you look amazing. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm just getting started on my journey. Like you, I have yo yo'd doing Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers. I have the added age factor now (over 40). But your success is great motivation. Thanks and congrats!!!

    wow you look awesome! I am similar height and my end goal is similar too- thanks for the inspiration. I seem to be a very slow loser, but the scale keeps going ever so slowly in the right direction, so I keep on trying :)
