in Success Stories
After initially starting out fairly well on here a year ago and losing 2stone, I now have massively fallen off the wagon. I'm (shamefully) writing this whilst eating chocolate biscuits.
I would reeeeeeeeeeeally like to see some before/during or before/after pictures, particularly people around my height (5'6'') to give me the boost to get back on track.
Thanks in advance :)

    I'm 23YO, 5' 6"
    Started at 181.5lbs on Jan 1, currently 167lbs (so this goes to show you how 15lbs or less makes a huge difference).
    Went from 40% body fat in my first photo to 25% body fat. I've gone from a size 16 (first pic) to a size 6 pants

    Postpartum (May last year):

    The smaller successes and goals are what will keep you motivated. Aim for the stars but take one step at the time! You can do it!

    I'm 33 years old and just under 5'7". I dabbled around on MFP all fall, bouncing between a few pounds. I started tracking every day January 2, 2013, weighing 153. Here's progress pics at 6 weeks and 10 pounds- I was amazed I could feel so much better so quickly. I eat at only a small deficit and net 1500-1600 per day. It's been another month- I need to take more photos!

    Wish I had some pics for you--I'm terrible at managing photos.

    Anyway, I'm 5'6, older than you (48), and I started MFP around January 10 of this year. My starting weight was 158. At today's weigh-in, I broke into the 130s (139.0, to be precise). Pants size has dropped from a tight, muffin-top inducing size 12 to a roomy size 10. Shirts, from a large to medium. My old belts fit! To top it off, my somewhat frequent headaches have almost vanished.

    You did this last year, you can do it again!
