    Congratulations! I love the Christmas photo - love your sweater! Hooray!

    I was called "Very Overweight" for talking about my 200 lb weight in the introductions forum. I can't figure it out.

    I think it's pretty special that we can all come together and share our struggles and success, without judgement and with genuine happiness for one another. We all have the same goal in mind. To be happy and healthy. And I wanted to share my success with all of you, as I have enjoyed reading all of yours. I'm still on my journey, but you have to know that at one point, I did Not think this accomplishment was possible for me. And it goes to show that anything can happen if you're willing to work out.

    So when I started out, I was 340 lbs:

    This was at Christmas, when I had lost 90 lbs, so I was at roughly 250 lbs.:

    This was back at the beginning of January, and I was about 235 lbs:

    This was me 3 days ago. Sorry, it's not a body shot. But you can see how much I've slimmed in the face:

    Today, I am 224 lbs. and I couldn't be happier. My goal is to be 200 lbs. I think that will look good for my heigh (5'10) and to me, it's not necessarily about the number, but how I look and feel.


    Congratulations to you.. you look wonderful!!!... It made me smile to read the "Its not necessarily about the number but how I look and feel". Congratulations your almost at your goal..and definitely living a better lifestyle!! :) Thanks for sharing! :)

    Thank you everyone!
    To the post above, my height is 5'10, almost pushing 5'11.
    And it should never be about the number. According to BMI index, for my height and age, I should be 140 lbs. I would look anorexic. I know I'm meant to have a bit of meat on my body and a 200 lb. goal is perfect for me. I am not aspiring to be super model thin. I just want to look and feel good, but most importantly, be healthy.

    Tall girls unite!!

    I'm 5'10/11" as well and yeah 140 is too low for my frame. I'm hoping for a toned 165-170. That would put me into a size 10 and I'd be fairly happy there I think.

    Lookin' hot!

    Not that I'm objectifying you as a woman.

    (Maybe a little bit)

    Congratulations!

    This is my frame now. Such a change from picture #1 in the yellow shirt. If I lose my 25 more pounds, I'll be completely happy and confident!

    Wow! Such a beautiful woman you are and what a transformation! You are truly an inspiration to me! I was at my heaviest (269) just about 3 years ago and have about 85 more to go before I reach my goal... It's pictures and stories such as yours that reminds me that all of my hard work will pay off in the end. :heart:
