Haven't done progress pictures before but when I found this little ditty of me lookin' rull rull slim at the river I had to. LOL
I started MFP at probably about 149 in September and today I weigh 130. I'm 5'7" with a very small frame, trying to get to around 120.
I hope this helps someone :)

    I think you look great at 130! It's always good to have a goal, but I'm guessing that if you keep toning up, you're going to be happy with your bod without getting down to 120! Looking good!

    I agree as well. Focus on body composition and toss out scale weight goals. Congratulations by the way!

    Amazing!! It's so crazy-- 15 lbs doesn't seem like a lot at all but makes such an incredible difference on your body. I'm hovering at 155 right now also and trying to get back to 120 (where I was for the last 10 years). Definite inspiration for me that even that first 15 lbs will make a huge difference.

    It's probably more like 20, I'm not sure because I didn't have a scale at the time and relied on scales of friends. But like I said, I have a very small frame so every pound really counts! Don't give up! If you have been at 120 for years then you will get back to that in no time :)

    Yeah I have known for a while that I need to start lifting heavy. I just don't know much about it and my apartment gym sucks for strength training. We have great gyms at the university though, and with the tuition I pay I should be getting my money's worth *grr* LOL. I think I will try to lose a bit more fat and get to 125 over the break and then start heavy weights Spring semester.

    I really hope so! I'm also around 5'7/5'8, and 22. Just graduated last May so I totally understand the frustration with the expensive Uni gyms...each year of tuition was more than my salary now so, I feel like I should have been getting a personal trainer included haha! Can I ask what your current workout routine is?

    Great job! I'm 5'8" working from 150 to 130 so it's nice to see a very similar comparison. You can definitely see the change!

    I do a lot of different things for exercise -- whatever I feel like I want to do the most that day so I can get into it. Various Jillian Michaels DVDs (Six Week 6 Pack, 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, and Killer Buns and Thighs -- all with light weights). I don't follow one JM system or do it everyday, I just do whichever one I feel like and go to the next level whenever I feel like I can. Or sometimes I just make up my own 3-2-1 circuit routine that lasts about 20-25mins. I also do 60-minute vinyasa yoga classes every now and then or run intervals for 1-2miles. So any of these I consider enough exercise for one day and I exercise 2-4x a week. But yeah, mostly it's the DVDs. I also walk a lot because I don't have a car.
