    WOW you all look incredible, thank you for sharing!

    I'm 5'10 and currently 190 lbs...which I've been stuck at for a year now.
    My highest weight was ~300lbs in high school.

    Hey I'll bite with this!

    SW: about 300 (let's just say I avoided a scale like a plague lol)
    CW: 173

    Forgot to mention I'm 5'11"

    You look amazing. I'm 5'11 1/2'' and trying to get my weight to about 160. I'm currently 204. I'm starting day 10 of 30 day shred tomorrow and then when I finish that I'm moving onto Body Revolution. I'll have to stick around here and watch how everyone does.

    I am 5"10. In January 2012, I was 304lbs. I joining Slimming World in September 2012 and weighed 293.5lbs. I walk everywhere. In January of 2013, for my NY resolution, I quit smoking. I currently weigh 251.5lbs.
    I have dropped from a UK size 24 to an 18.
    I have so far to go. I recently started JM 30DS (Modified), and feeling so much better for it. I want to get to 175lbs to see what I look like. I want killer abs and to be FIT! But I have a long way to go still.
    I used MFP to track my workouts.
    There are some pics in my profile of my journey so far x

    Everyone in this thread is inspiration to me. Thank you all xx

    i don't have a real before shot on here, but this is my midway progress shot (see profile pic <<)

    I'm 5 foot 9 ish with 12E boobs (so i'm what *I* deem 'curvy'_) and i started at 105 kg / 231 lb, and so far I've lost 17 kg / 37 lb to weigh 88 kg / 194 lb. The jeans in the pic WERE my goal jeans, but they are now my until i get skinny enough to fit my jeans from when i was the skinniest I've ever been...looking to lose another 8 kg / 18 lb.

    wow this thread is great! I haven't got any 'after' pictures yet, but i'm 5'8 and started at 182 lbs I think and slowly got it down to 163 lbs which is my cw today. I want to get down to 145-150 lbs but I cant seem to break the 159 lbs mark..I get to there and then shoot back up to 163 lbs again. I would consider myself a pear shape but wear at UK 12 top and bottom I just have wide hips and big thighs I cant seem to budge!

    Roughly how long has it taken people to lose the weight?

    I'm 5'11, started out as 'large frame' at 240.
    July2010006.jpg

    Got down to 175/180, still 'large framed.'
    December2011006.jpg

    No I'm around 150, and the most recent measurements indicate that I'm 'small framed.'
    October20120502.jpg

    So, just remember that frame size can be relative.:smile:

    Wow! That is totally awesome! I hate being referred to as a 'Big' Frame.... Ugh! Maybe there is hope yet :)

    Bump- you all are extremely inspiring!!

    I'm 5'11" and really want to be able to post on this thread. Currently doing some hardcore self reflection on why my first month on MFP didn't go quite as planned so hopefully (as soon as I figure why my brain is battling my body so much) I can post here too!

    I am about the same stats as you.

    I am 5'8

    Started in March at 185 and a size 12. Now I am 162 and can fit in some size 8 clothes of mine. I haven't been in the 150's since early 2010. I can't wait to break into them. My goal is 135-140 or so. I have been in the low 140's before and I loved it. So I may be happy at 145. Just depends when I get there.


    I am definitely loving this thread...everyone looks great!

    if I say "bump" does that mean I get to see this thread again?(I have no idea what it means). anyway, I'm 5'8.5ish but always had a smaller frame (was the scrawny kid in highschool)- SW 175 CW 172 (though it had been down to 168:S). looking to get down to 130. I was 130 on my wedding day two years ago. looking forward to seeing the results from people, hopefully it'll keep me motivated!

    The only pic I have to share right now is my profile pic. I started out at 420 pounds. In the pic I'm 220 and current weight is about 215 or maybe less (weigh in day tomorrow :bigsmile: ). I'm setting my goal weight at 190 and then hoping (fingers & toes crossed) to have skin removal surgery and I figure whatever it is after that is just bonus. For me I can't imagine weighing any less.

    I envy you tall ladies! At 5-foot-4-and-ALL-OF-THAT-EXTRA-HALF-inches, AND doomed with a pear/hourglass shape, I look like someone angrily squeezed a tube of cookie dough in the middle!

    Update, I am now 159! Yay. First time I have been in the 150's since 2010. Goodbye 160's, and I hope I can say good bye to the 150's soon.

    There are absolutely variations in bone size and bone density. While these variations are no excuse for carrying extra body fat, the variations still exist. Bones are NOT 'the same size'.

    I am a health professional....this statement is absolutely correct.

    I'm on the "shorter" end of this thread at 5'8'', and my highest was exactly 230, back in March. People at work have told me numerous times that I "carry my weight well" (I am well endowed, with narrow hips/butt/legs, but wide, short waist) and that it's "ok" since I'm "big boned". I then tell them that my shoe size is 7.... SEVEN. I am NOT "big-boned"....I'm just fat, lol.
