I don't have a really good before picture because I avoided cameras when I was at my heaviest. This is the closest I could find.

I didn't have a lot to loose, but I was tired of non of my clothes fitting and of being tired and uncomfortable all the time.
20 weeks of careful eating, 1300 calorie goal per day (I'm 5'5"). Exercise 5 days a week, alternating cardio and strength training. I've lost 23 lbs, 4 inches from my waist and 3 inches from my hips. I'm at my desired weight now and I'm looking forward to maintaining my new healthy and active lifestyle.

    Congratulations, you look great! I know what you mean about not having many 'before' photos, I do exactly the same and avoid the camera whenever I don't feel good about my weight. Well done!

    Good for you. I had about 25 pounds to lose and went over by three pounds. I like being minus the extra three pounds. I'm now figuring out how to do maintenance.

    Congratulations. You look great!

    I jog/walk for 45 minutes keeping my heart rate above 140. So I burn around 350 calories in a session. I eat back calories I burn so that my balance is always between 1200-1300. I'm very careful to not slip below that 1200 mark.

    It's not easy to lose weight and/or inches at any size, so congratulations to you!
