Anyone started at size 24...

I STARTED A SIZE 24/26 IM ABOUT A 12/14 LEANING MORE TO THE SIZE 12 FINALLY TOOK ABOUT 18 MONTHS TO DROP A 100 POUNDS

In August I started out as a size 24. Yesterday I bought size 18 jeans. You can do this. You are not alone!

You lost over 60 pounds in three months? What?

I started at size 24 and 262 lbs, in May of this year. I had to shop only at Lane Bryant and Torrid. I'm now at 215 and fitting in sizes 14-18, depending on the item and store. I hope to be at goal next summer.

It IS possible, and YOU can do it

I crept into a size 22 and i've lost a stone and can now wear an 18, I would like to get down to a 10/12.
We can try together :bigsmile:

Started @ size 22, lost 34 pounds last year. fell off the wagan, gained 20 back. Started again this Jan. 2nd and down 1 size as of today! When I didn't use MFP, I lost my support and gained. I will stay this time :-)

A year ago I wore size 24 pants and 3XL top. Today I wear size 8 and Med or Small tops.

I was a 26/28 when I started in Jan '00 and got down to a size 4 (sometimes a 6) by Dec '02and have maintained it since then. Honestly, if I did it, anyone can. It's all a mental thing - so start by conquering that first. Easier said than done. It took me a year of preparing myself (1999) by researching, planning, and journaling before I even seriously tried to lose weight! I knew I could be successful if I could just have a long-term plan that I could wrap my head around and actually tackle. I was the queen of positive saying sticky notes for quite a while back then!

Just starting out at 22/24 pants and 3/4x depending on style. Trying to get to at least a 10/12. 8/10 would be even better! Could always use extra support so feel free to add me if you want.

Started at 26, now a size 12.

Started at a size 22 360 days ago. Down to a size 12 now & almost a 10. I'm a small in top & we are talking a Supre small (like not normal small...but a little smaller than small) and my size 12 skinny jeans & shorts are falling down already. I'm 37, 159cm & before Feb last year....had not exercised EVER. Now I do it daily.... and hard. I eat at my limit here on MFP (fitbit gives me some more that I ignore) and will very rarely eat my exercise back cause I just don't feel hungry enough to eat it all. So it looks like I net at or below 500 every day.


Hang in there, work hard for it. You will get there.

I was pushing size 24 about a year and a half ago, now 14W. It's a journey, but can be done, despite highs and lows. Slow and steady is my motto.

Started my weight loss a few months before finding MFP, so it does not quite align with MFP weight loss ticker, yet LOL!

For reference, I am 5'8", 44 y/o.

Just log! You will learn sooo much! Best wishes to you :flowerforyou:

I started my weight loss journey on 6/7/12. 31 yo, 260 lbs, 22/24 and seriously over it. I just decided to start logging and that did it for me. I'm down 40lbs and now in an 18. I lost my motivation for a few months, and I can't seem to get back on track. I know that I can do this, I've done it before, but all it takes is 1 or 2 "oh it's ok I can have that and I won't log it" for me to slide backwards and back up the scale. I can't go back, it's not good for my health, or my emotional well being.

Picture on the left was last February, size 22. Picture on the right was this past Monday at size 8.

I have been at this since January 2nd of this year. I am at a 22/24 (I have a few things in the closet that are a size 20, but in general 22/24 is where I am most comfortable). I started at 281 and am down 15 pounds as of this morning. I am noticing change under my bustline the most and I noticed yesterday that a couple of my skirts and tops are fitting more loosely than they have...I haven't been to a store to try on a smaller size yet, I figured I'd get to the 20 lb mark before I went. You're not alone!!!

Hey
I'm a woman size 22 with type 2 diabetes age 37. I had to see the diatician and my doctor told me I needed to lose 20 lbs by May 7th. I am currently at 225lbs. I am trying to walk or work out 5 times a week, plus my diabetic diet. Since January 22 when I started the diet and exercise, I was 234lbs. I think I'm doing really well considering I never done anything about my weight before. Please add me a a friend if you want.
