I'm about 5'8" and my starting weight was 290. I just started my journey about 3 weeks ago, but i'm looking for some before and afters (or durings) of girls around my same height and weight when they started. I need constant motivation!! Thanks!! :)

    I'm still during, but I can show you my progress. I started out 280ish (hated getting on the scale, and had to buy size 24 jeans which kicked me in the butt). Sucky photo, but I hated having my picture taken.

    I lost some of the weight initially without trying much (ate smaller portion of the main part of my lunch) and yoyo'd some trying MFP and then falling off the wagon. Was fairly stabilized at 245 (few pounds lost, few pounds gained). Finally got my butt into gear at the end of October last year. Logging consistently, eating at TDEE-25%, and lifting heavy weights (I've found that I love lifting and now I look forward to going to the gym).

    Here are my current progress pictures:
