    Here you go:

    PhotoGrid_1357439909636_zps51de102c.jpg

    Height: 5'4"
    SW: 89.9kg (198lb)
    Photo Weight: 61.8kg (136.2lb)
    CW: 61.4kg (135.4lb)

    I started my weightloss journey without tracking calories, and only began tracking in June. My cals are set at 1450 per day right now and I exercise with a HRM.

    I have no secrets - eat less and move more is the only way to lose weight, changing your lifestyle permenantly is the only way to keep it off.

    Ages Angelbee!! I started losing accidentally - when I started dancing in June 2010 from there I kept up dancing and kept losing for a year, when I stopped and trained with a trainer for 6 months, didn't really change my diet though and only lost 6kg (about 15lb) in that time, maintained for 6 months and then I started MFP have lost about 10kg (22lb) since I started MFP.

    So in short it was 2 1/2 years but only 2x 6 months where I actually worked for it.

    My before and during is my profile pic. Don't know how to post pics in the forums.


    Height: 5'10
    SW: 224lbs
    Photo Weight: 165lbs
    CW: 162lbs (i was down to 156 but the Holidays got me)

    My ultimate goal is between 155 and 150

    Most of the time I signed up for losing 1 lbs/week and followed whatever that calorie count was. Last month I switched to lose 0.5lbs a week and my calorie allotment is 1750/day. Monday I'm going to go back to 1lb/week which will likely be about 1530 cal/day

    I'm 5'9" and 146 in the after picture. 170 in the before. it's crazy how different a body can look after only losing 24 lbs when you're focusing on body recomposition. There's 7 months difference there, and keep in mind I'm actively flexing in the after picture.

    I eat 2300-3000 calories a day (which is actually still at a small deficit), and I train like a beast. I run 10-12 miles a week, lift 2-3 x a week, do a lot of HIIT, pilates, just finished 30 Day Shred, Just started 6 week 6 pack, and am on the 7th week of insanity.

    I feel like I post this every where. My mid section is my trouble area, so that's why it's a close up.
    Height: 5'4 3/4
    SW: 185
    Weight in the b4 photo: 175
    After weight: 121.4
    I started end of Aug 2011 and the so far photo was taken the day after Thanksgiving 2012.
    When I was on track my calorie range varied, but 15-1700 seemed like it was my best range. I actually ate real low for the 1st 8 months. I think that's what contributed to my skinny fatness now. Cuz I didn't eat enough & did cardio, so I lost some of what little muscle I had. I used to kick box, now I lift heavy 3x a week. Sometimes I throw in some cardio on my days in between, especially if I kno I'm going out with friends & cant count. That way I have extra calories.
    There is no secrets though. Just count ur calories, make sure u eat enough & exercise, you will lose :)

    Thanks for sharing. I know there are no secrets. I wasn't looking for secrets. I was hoping to find someone with a similar build and exercise routine who got results so I see how many calories they take in. I'm having a very hard time figuring out the right amount of calories to eat. All the online calculators give me answers from 1200 a day to 1700 a day and that's a huge range. But again, thanks for sharing your successes!

    I'm 5'5", currently 117lbs, take in about 1600-1800 calories per day, and exercise 4-5 days a week (using Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVDs). I started in June (was 164 then - had already lost 10 lbs) and reached my goal weight in December (120). I'm still trying to figure out my maintenance.

    I'm 5' 5" and 25 years old.
    Starting weight: 151
    Current weight: 143

    Starting waist: 31"
    Current waist: 28"

    Time between photos: 6 weeks
    Average caloric intake: 2500 cal/day

    I do olympic weightlifting 2 days a week (1 hour session), and a crossfit workout 2-3 days a week. Prior to these past six weeks, I had been doing this workout schedule for a year and a half, and was probably eating 2000-2200 calories a day. I upped my calories, but also decreased my intake of anything that turned to glucose (sugar) in my bloodstream, and increased my intake of fat. My details of this six week experiment are in my blog here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/dadams10

    progress6weeks.jpg

    I actually would love to add a few more friends to follow on MFP. I'm not typically a big forum poster, but was looking to find a few more active buddies!

    Oh - and in week 5 of these past 6 weeks, I also PRed my backsquat at 180lbs! That's what I'm actually most proud of :)
