5'8 Lady Success Stories Please!

Im also 5'8'', but I am just starting Medifast Saturday. So I am not a success story , YET! I am also interested in replies to this post, and hopefully with pics. I feel it is motivating when you see someone that started about the same place you are starting.

Check out my profile pic...I'm exactly 5'8". I'm hoping for 15 more pounds...but the change so far has been drastic. Since it was gradual, I didn't know how drastic until I put together the after/before pic.

I'm 5'8" Here's what has happened to me:

Had my 4th baby last April - weighted settled at 195pounds
Piddled around trying to lose ... by end of July was only down to 193
Ramped up exercise and joined MFP and in a month was 186
Stalled for a bit and joined First Place 4 Health at my church. Starting weight was 186 (in the evening, which is normally about 2 pounds heavier than in the morning when I normally weigh in...so let's say 184 at the begining of October)
Resisted making the big changes that FP4H suggested and slowly took off weight while my heart was busy making the bigger changes.
Weighed in after Christmas at 174.
GOT REALLY SERIOUS!!! lol
Started doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred on Jan 1
Log my food EVERY DAY
I'm now down to 167 pounds (took a couple of weeks of 30DS before the scale started to move!)
I'm going to wrap up 30DS in 8 more days THEN I'm going to start Insanity
March 1st, my sister in law and I are going to start running to get ready for the Warrior Dash in July.
I expect to be down to 150 by the end of March
Then I plan to take all of April, May and part of June to be down to 140 by my 32nd birthday June 16th!

Still figuring out how to load pics!

I'm 5'8", 27, and have 2 kids. I currently weigh 144 and wear a size 7/8. Some of these were pictures I took for my 8 week Turbofire results and I weighed 149 then (2 1/2 weeks ago). I weighed 235 during both pregnancies and was still 215 when my youngest was over a year old in Nov 2009 when I decided to take control of my health and lose the weight. It took me about 6 months to lose 55lbs and I had maintained around 160 ever since. I kind of fell off the exercise and healthy eating wagon about 9 months ago though and was just feeling run down and looking flabby. I started an amazing workout program called Turbofire on 11/12/12 and have lost 17 lbs and toned up all over.
Good luck to you all on your health and fitness journeys! :flowerforyou:
I can't find any full body before pics...

Not a success story yet but I'm 5 8 so bumping

I'm 5'8". Currently weigh about 165lbs. Goal is around 155lb. Starting weight in late 2008 was 220lb. Final pic is of me at my lowest weight, 161lb in June 2012.

i love this thread. totes watching this. I THINK i'm 5 8 - 174cm tall - and I've lost weight before and gone down to a Nz 12 (American 8) which is great with E cup boobs lol. This time around I'm aiming for similar results. Currently a kiwi size 14-16 (American 10-12 I think) so yeah, down a couple of dress sizes and about 20kg would be awesome. So far I've lost about 6 kg and my current wardrobe fits great.

bump

I am 5'9 and currently 180 pounds, I dont know what to set as my goal weight as I have no CLUE what my body will look like at 150, 140, 130, 120? Will I look to skinny and weak at 120? Would a 150 pound body suit me more?

Body fat % is more important. I just remember my body at 150 so I want that agian.

it also depends if you have boobs and curves, and muscle
