I'm around 5'4" and started here 6 months ago at 255lbs, size 20/22 jeans.
I've been eating 1200 cals per day, pretty consistently, and feeling great. Most of that is fairly clean- fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean meats. I've cut out sugar, which I used to be addicted to. (I used to stop at a convenience store on my way to work every day and buy candy and eat it on my way, and snack on it all day)

I was losing 2lbs a week and feeling very motivated. Then I got to 201 and my weightloss stalled. Just for 2 weeks, but it felt like a lifetime because I had been losing so well before, AND I was so close to onederland. I purposely had a high calorie day, and it kicked things back into motion. Today, I woke up and stepped on the scale and SHAZAAAAM! 199!

I'm wearing Jordache skinny jeans, size 14 today. Yesterday I tried on some jeans and one pair of 14s was way too tight and one pair of size 12s fit. My blood pressure is down, my hair looks healthier, my skin cleared up, I stopped snoring or getting heartburn. Ideally, I'd like to get down to 150, but i'd take 170. :)

Here's some pics...

    I am so happy for you!! You are doing great. I am going on month number 2 and i am down 18 lbs. I was able to put on a Seahawks jacket today that was my dads and is only an XL. I got it when he passed away and today it fit. And fastened. I haven't done that in years. in anything smaller than a 2X. Keep up the good work you are an inspiration to me.
