5'8 Lady Success Stories Please!

HEY 5'8'' LADIES! I'm 5'8'' and a quarter
I'm not a success yet but I've lost 24 lbs so far... SW: 176, CW 152. My pics are on my profile.
I will go see if I can upload them somewhere to see if I can figure out how to post my pics. They are on my profile if you want to add me!

I love that on your profile picture, you have on the same dress in your before & after pic. You look great.

I am 5'9 and after my last baby my biggest was 216. I am down to 198 and still trying. I feel a bit stuck right now so going to start running and hope it helps. Good luck to all!!!:flowerforyou:

Wahooo, finally found my 5'8" sisters for inspiration!

You all look amazing. !

Left: August 2012 in London 158 pounds
Right: today: 148 pounds.

Just stayed under TDEE and I can't rely on exercise to help me at all, because its sporadic.

I'm 5'8" , 55 years old, currently 158 lbs. My goal is to maintain at a range between 150 and 155, to accommodate weight fluctuations. I tend to carry most of my extra weight around my middle. My highest recent weight was 167 (not counting pregnancy and post-baby, a long time ago).

I currently wear size 12 pants that are kind of baggy. My goal is to maintain a nice size 10 pant size, with no muffin top.

I plan to continue exercisisng, lifting weights, toning, etc., so that as I age I remain healthy and fit. I want to be the grandma that can roll on the floor with the kids and carry them around, run with them, etc. (I'm not a grandma yet, but some day hopefully will be.)

Many of you who have posted looked awesome! and have made amazing transformations - very motivating!!

This is so encouraging to see!! I started last Tuesday (2/11) at 166.4. Today I am down to 163.4. Lifting 3 times a week and running 3 or more times a week. Plan on running in the Color Me Rad 5k in May.

I'm 5'8" and 28. My starting weight was 175lbs. I am 175lbs in the pic in my profile with the red and white striped shirt. Seeing this picture show up on facebook in May 2012 made me change everything.

I got serious about losing weight in June but went about it in all the wrong ways simply because I didn't know better. I was already a member of MFP but never used it, so I started logging and had a MAJOR reality check about how much food I was eating. Granted it wasn't terrible stuff, it was just way too much. Since then I've been logging (minus a 10 day break in August, for no reason really) and working out. I've had cheat meals/days/weekends/weeks and I've had weeks when I only did 1 or 2 workouts due to sickness, travel, whatever. But the main thing is that I've had more good than bad, and I make sure to pick myself back up after a bad day and get back on that wagon!

So it took me about 9 months to lose 27lbs. I have 3lbs left until I hit my goal of 145lbs. It's been slow, but I did it right and I know I will never gain it back. It takes time to break old habits and create new ones, which is exactly what you want to do for weight loss.

In my other profile pics I think I am about 155lbs. I will post a new pic when I hit my goal.

Bump for motivation

You are all very inspiring!!!
