    Right there is my after picture, your thread title is almost exactly my before and after weight (give or take a few) and I'm 5'7". I do have some extra skin, but I think after a while it will tighten up, especially since I am strength training.

    I'm 5.6 and went from 191.8 to 146.6 over the past 2 years so similar loss, just from a higher starting point

    I haven't got loose skin as such (lots of strechmarks on belly after pregnancy 6 years ago though) but my tummy is the least pretty of my body as it does 'hang' a bit.

    Not sure how to add my before and after pic. I'll try. You may be able to see them in my profile as well.

    I'm 5'6" and went from 190 to 133. I have some loose skin, but think it's mainly from 2 pregnancies and weighing 232 for about 6 months. I hate my loose skin, but no one really sees it with clothes on and I'd rather be a size 2/4 with some loose skin than my old size 12/14.

    This is great inspiration for me. I'm coming down from 182lbs. I was 150 when i lost it two years ago. This time its going to be permanent. I'm 5'3.5 and I'm looking to be in the 130s. I'm excited.

    I am starting at 180 as well, but have yoyoed a bit over the past while. I find that stress and a lack of planning sabotage my efforts. And that if I focus on exercise, it is sooo much easier to concentrate on eating nutritionally dense calories. I am 5'9". My exercise of choice is running and cycling, but because I know its good for me - plan to incorporate some weights and stretching activities.

    In 6 weeks (NYs), I hope to be below 170. My ultimate goal is to be sub-140. Have not seen that since my 20's when I thought I was "heavy", lol!

    Wish me luck. And thanks for the inspirational pics and stories.

    I went from 185 to 137 - I'm 5'7" too...still a work in progress. I did a lot of cardio when I lost the majority of the weight and I wish I had done more core strength training. I don't really have loose loose skin - just some places where it's not as smooth as I would like it to be - but I think strength training would help this, it's just a matter of actually doing it. My photos are in my profile if you're interested.
