  • 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 :)
  • That is awesome!!! :wink: You motivate me even without pics!! Way to go!!! :)

    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**
  • I'm 167cm(5'5). I'm only 16 years old and my starting weight was 93kg(205lbs) that was a total shock when I jumped on those scales. My current weight is 74kg(160lbs) and am aiming to loose another 10 or so kilos. Will post before and after shots once I'm at my goal weight. :D

    Hello everyone... I am 5' 0 tall. I came to myself at a whopping 204 lbs. January 1st, 2012, I decided to take my life back. Since then I've been walking with "Leslie Sansone," did a little toning with "Denise Austin," gotten Ripped in 30 with "Jillian Michaels," taken tips from "Fitness Ladies"and now I'm bringing it with Tony and the P90X guys... of course by DVD. LOL

    As of July 31, I weigh 158. I hit a plateau and decided to cut out all pasta and bread for the month of August. I've been hitting the exercise extra hard to make sure I have major results for my September 1st weigh in. Wish me luck... :wink: 204-158= 46 lbs down and counting!

    5' nothing and 110ish lbs. not so much a huge recent weight loss story, but I did gain over 50lbs with each of my children. Have been able to lose it and maintain it for over 21 years now. Losing is hard, but maintenance can be equally frustrating and trying. It's a unique journey with many peaks and valleys on both sides. Slow and steady always seems to win the race though. :))

    I'm 5'1". Haven't weighed for a while, but I'm in the 130's somewhere now. "Before" was from April. "During" is from late July. Guess I need a new one again... :)

    I am 5'1" in a good pair of shoes. I hit 178lbs on my birthday, February 13th. I was unemployed at the time, somewhat depressed about it, and I was using food to comfort myself. I decided I had had enough, and began making one change at a time to get better. At first I traded all my sugary drinks for water, then began exercising again a couple weeks later. I continued making changes in my diet one by one, and now I am down 20lbs 6 months later. The goal weight in my ticker below is my projected competition weight for a figure competition, which I am shooting for, to compete beginning mid March nest year. That is also the picture in my ticker, where I want to be!.
