5ft 7 ladies post your results here please!!

I am 5ft 7 I started at 238Ib I am now down to 217. I would be happy just getting to a size 14, it seems like it is taking me ages to loose the weight but I suppose I am loosing it gradually. I don't have a goal, is that such a bad thing?

Your goal should be what you want it to be or none at all. You are making progress. Slow and steady wins the race is my motto. I work out very hard 5 days a week and stay under my calories nearly everyday and only lose 1 pound a week. It can be frustrating but one is better than none. Keep doing what your doing and you will see that size 14 before you know it. My guess is that once you get there you will be more motivated to set a new goal. Good luck.

5'6" 190 to 139, 25 days at 139 so far

took about 5 1/2 months from day 1 of calorie counting, so I lost a bit too fast according to recommendations etc.
I probably had fantastic metabolism brought on my several years of overeating.

The first month I only did calorie counting, 2nd and 3rd month heavy cardio with strength training. 3rd month through today began to switch cardio away from traditional gym machines and just get my tush outside playing sports. I don't get on those machines anymore. The sun is shining, I can go play softball and if it's batting practice the bonus is I work my abs at the same time

I lift weights as heavy as I can 3-4 times per week. I alternate my workouts in this order: bicep tricep shoulders back chest and add in legs when they are not sore.

This is my overall progress pic from start to 'finish' although since I will continue to lift, my body will change:

I also want to mention I weighed 133 pounds in 2004 in this bikini pic, before I gained massive amounts of weight:

I think I look better in a bikini now, 6 pounds heavier. I have actually felt that way since I got down to 150 pounds, strange how you don't always have to reach a number you thought was great when looking back on 'what used to be'...

this is me at around 155 pounds, I used to try on this bikini every month because it was too small when I bought it:

this was taken in June 2012. About 175.

Goal weight is about 145-150.

Hey - do you live in Toronto? I live in Barrie!

On the 8/9 I was 247 and today I am 238! Long way to go. My initial goal is 175 as I am large framed. 161 would take me to the top of the official ideal weight range. I was about 27 last time I weighed around 140 and people used to call me skinny even though that is mid point of the ideal weight range for me. 2 kids and a number of years later the picture is very different

Bump! No results pics for me yet, CW 153, GW 122-125! Have a longgggggggg way to go. Thanks for the motivation ladies!

Starting weight around 170, current weight around 135-140...looking to just drop inches now.

Excellent thread!!
I am a little under 5'7", 46 years old and started a fitness regime about 6 months ago. I workout 4-5 days a week with a trainer - 30 min of weight training, and 30 min cardio interval training each time. I also try to get out and hike and do hot yoga once or twice a week.

Starting weight was 180, and I am down to 169.4 as of this week. I have been at 169 since July!!! It is time to focus more on the calorie counting and nutrition -- starting NOW. I joined a 6-week weight loss challenge at my gym and I am hoping that will motivate me. My goal is to lose 10 pounds in the next 6 weeks -- about 1.5 to 1.75 pounds per week.

My goal is 135, but I haven't seen that weight since before I had my kids (who are 21, 17, and 12). We shall see. 140 may be more realistic!

Let's keep the motivation coming!!!

awesome!!! i'm just shy of 5'8 and i'm 39...my heaviest was 222 (after having back to back kids)...lowest weight in the last 15 years was 165...cw is 184 after falling off the wagon...i think for me it's knowing my "happy weight"...which is between 165 and 175...getting there...slow process!!! everyone is doing an awesome job!

I'm 5ft 8, starting weight 183 lb, current 171 lb, target 161 lb & see how I feel then :happy:
I got down to 154lb a few yrs ago, but wasn't a good look for me, as I'm pear shaped, bottom half looked great, but my top half looked underweight.

Amazing work ladies!

I'm 5'7", started at 172 in late February 2012, met my initial goal (145) about late July, reset it to 138, and just passed that (I'm 137 now) and losing on maintenance after surgery. Have to increase calories I think.

Have been running daily (except post-surgery) as well as long walks, 1200 calories a day and eating back exercise calories that average 400 a day.

Have to get some photos sorted out soon I guess. Was a 12/14 clothing size, now in loose size 8.

bump!

I don't have any pictures but I'm 5'7 and my goal is 130-135.
I weigh 144 right now which is a juniors size 7 with measurements around 37-26-38.

this is my before and my July after pic. my profile pics show more recently, altho weight wise i havent changed much since then, but i can see better definitlion in my body now.

5'7
144lbs

I'm 5'7 and I weigh 133-135 honestly Idk lol but I was at 123 a week after I had my daughter and I stayed that way for a year but then somehow I just gained 10ish pounds. I don't have a goal weight, because I am about to start insanity and I know I'll be gaining some muscle. I really just hate my stomach. That's where all my fat goes! But I will look a lot better if I tone up the rest of my body too, so that's just my goal I have a low thyroid issue but I hope that doesn't prevent me from reaching my goals.

I don't have photos yet but I will eventually!

Still a work in progess. I don't have any other pics of me in a bikini at my highest weight so this one isn't exactly the before but close enough. When I started I was aout 157 lbs. Now I'm probably somewhere around 135, was at 132 I don't know because I don't weigh myself anymore.
