    I don't know how to post pictures but you can go to my page and look under photos. I started at 249lbs. which I was probably heavier but never weighed myself I am 5'6 and I have lost 64lbs and now am in a size 11, I still have 40lbs. to go to reach my goal of 104lb loss but I am getting there slowly. It has only taken a year this month so far to lose the weight. You can do it!!!!

    started at 227 and now 185. it is attainable. I didn't think I could do it. My excuse was when i quit smoking I gained weight because of that. You can do it thru planning and the great support of mfp friends.

    Yep.....5'7. My heaviest was 236lbs. I started mfp at 192. I'm now 167. I still have some weight to lose. my current goal weight is 150. I think i will reevaluate after i reach 150 though. either way, I plan on being here a long time after i reach goal weight. it most certainly can be done. I find it gets easier and easier as time goes by.

    yip, me. Started at 256 about 4 years ago. Lost 50, kept it off.
    Started here last Jan (2012) and lost 50 more in 8 months.
    Size 8 now.
    Was 147, but back up a bit, 156 today, on a good day 152.

    But feeling good and eating well and I never felt starved or had to exercise like mad.
    One day at a time, you can do it.
    You WILL!

    I got up to 257 with my first child, lost 30 pounds, got pregnant with my second child. Then I lost 100 pounds and maintained for several years.

    I got up to about 175 and then had my FINAL child at the end of 2011. This time, the weight is not coming off. I did have my thyroid removed on Valentine's Day this year, and they do feel that was a big reason why I wasn't losing any weight.

    Currently, I am 220. I'm only 5'5 and have made a commitment to myself that I will be down (2) sizes before the pool opens.

    I'm not too hung up on the weight numbers. I'm much more focused on being able to go anywhere and find something in my size.

    :-)

    I'm 5'6" and started at 234lbs. I got down to 143lbs. within a year of starting to lose weight. It's been a challenge to keep it off. I've currently backslid to 160lbs. and shooting to get back to the goal of 143.

    Now that I'm back on MFP I'm planning to keep on track.
