    In May, I was at 197, but I didn't start MFP until the end of June and I was at 187 then. I weighed myself this morning, and I'm at 176.8. :D

    5'2'' here. My normal weight was always around 125-130. I gained 30lbs when I had surgery on my foot. I was in a wheelchair for 6 months and it took a few more months to learn how to walk. I lost 8lbs that year which brought me to 152lbs. I started MFP at that weight and I'm currently at 134lbs and have 9 more pounds until I hit my GW.

    I did this all at home. No gym membership, just at home exercise and healthy eating. It's taken more time than I had hoped, but I do not plan on giving up.

    I'm 5'1 and started out at 206. Started MFP March 2011 but didn't take any of it very seriously until Jan 2012. I've had 2 surgeries this year, which I let hold me back some but with the help of a trainer and now Insanity I'm 185. I still have some work to do but I'm finally in the right mind set and feel good with where I'm headed.

    I'm about 4'11'' 1/4.. close enough to 5' right!? Haha. I was about 129 when I got pregnant. My "happy" weight it about 115-120. After giving birth, I was 154.4. I'm now 143. I still have a little ways to go, but if it's any motivation, I'd love to help! And can always use more motivation myself!

    Typhanee83 you look AMAZING!!!!! I am the same height as you but I weigh more so your pictures give me inspiration as to what I can someday look like......A few years down the line of course :) Your transformation in your arms over the year of lifting is amazing. I am doing this all at home also with no gym membership. Just me and healthy food and workout DVDs!!
    Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!! Add me as a friend please so I can be inspired by you daily. Ive lost 12 pounds so far and I just see more and more falling off me as the time goes by :)

    I'm 5'1" and have gone from 140 to 110.

    I lost the first 15 with weight watchers, gained a couple back and now I'm here at MFP looking to lose my last 5. I'm so close to goal I can taste it.

    I never thought I would share my before and after pictures so I took them in my undies. I regret it now! A swimsuit would have been better so I wouldn't be embarrassed to show them.

    Here is a before and after of my tummy though. 125 on the left and about 115 on the right. I've dropped 4% body fat and 5 pounds since then and will take my final "after" picture when I finally reach my goal.

    Here's a bathing suit at the same weight:

    Sorry about the crappy webcam photos. I don't own a full length mirror. PS: I've never shared these before. Feels weird.

    I'm wanting to start lifting as well. What did you purchase for your at home "gym" I can't afford a gym membership and I'm hoping to get my eating under better control especially from sweets and portions. I really only have 10lbs to go so I'm open to any insight you may have :)

    I'm still in fat burn mode so I do a ton of cardio 6 days/wk and weights 3 days/wk. Cardio and resistance together! I feel amazing...and I'm getting strong :D

    I am 5'1 and have lost almost 60 lbs. To be honest, I have not shown this picture to anyone other than my husband (only because he was the one who took it!). We were on vacation 3 years ago and he snapped this picture of me, which is why I have such a terrible look on my face. I am usually the one taking the pictures because I was too embarrassed to be in the photo. This summer, we went back to the same place on vacation and I asked him to take my picture again, this time I was proud to have it done!

    My starting weight was 216 lbs and today I weigh 158 lbs...which is actually almost 10 pounds less than in this picture.

    I would like to lose about 20 more pounds, although I actually have friends who tell me they don't know where I would lose that much weight from. I have an awful lot of belly fat left and being 40 years old, I know that's going to be tough!

    **pic coming soon**
