I've lost 74 lbs since 2011.
Height: 5'2"
Starting Weight: 220 lbs
Current Weight: 146
I used to reward myself with food. Like pieces of a certain cake I loved or alcohol. As I've gotten further with my weight loss, my rewards turned into new sneakers, bluetooth headphones, clothes, etc. I don't really care about the food rewards anymore. Though, I will indulge slightly for special occasions like a friend's birthday party or a holiday.
When I reach my ideal muscle tone, I plan on getting a large tattoo on my left arm.
Great job!0 -

5' here!
Lost about 60lbs last year, started weight training this January.
Started at 175, lowest was 106, now 114 & trying to get stronger & more toned.
Night before giving birth to my 2nd via c-section 211lbs. 1 month into changing my life forever, 168lbs.
End of weight loss, 110lbs, size 0. Right hand side is 6 weeks into weight training at 116lbs, size 0/00. Weight training does some amazing things!
Whoops! Afters are too big, here....

Everyone looks awesome! To those with success, how many calories were you consuming? I'm following the 1200 calories but eating back my exercise calories. Just want to see how you've reached your goals0

All of your transformations are incredible! Its great to see people who were overweight and now look like fitness instructors(some probably are!) Some of you are completely ripped! Gives me hope I can do it.
I am 5ft 2 and 1/2- Yes the 1/2 matters so much to me too.
I am using MFP properly since mid Jan approx and have lost 16.5lb. Started at 154lb and am currently 137.5lb.
I have fallen off the wagon at times and have not mastered clean eating at all(will keep trying).
To start the exercise properly now so this thread has reminded me to get the before pics done tomorrow and report when I've finished Jillian Michael's body revolution.
Good luck to everyone with your journeys. :happy:0 -
I'm also 5'3 and had the original goal of losing 35 lbs. I'm down 32 lbs now. I am considering changing my goal and dropping a little more.0

I am 5'2 and i want to lose 50 lbs total. I want to know if anyone would like to share their before and after pictures. Also if anyone rewarded yourself after a certain amount of lbs lost, what did you reward yourself with??
I'm 5' 2" and want to lose 50 pounds too! I'm 49 years old, how old are you? I would love to be a success story on here and be able to post before and after pics. Add me as a friend if you like! Good luck!0 -
Always willing to put up my before/after pic. I'm 5'2" and started @ 153 at the end of May 2012. Hit goal of 125 ish Feb 2013. Took the slow loss route to focus on lean body mass maintain/gain and fat loss.
From left:
Highest weight ~160 lbs size 12(tight) Summer 2010; 12/28/2012 ~128 lbs size 4
9/6/12 ~143 lbs ; 12/22/12 ~129 lbs 24-25% BF; 2/18/13 ~126 lbs 20-22% BF
In January I switched to a more lifting focused workout plan and focused more on body composition than weight loss. I had a goal weight of 121, but I have thrown that out to focus on how I look versus a number on the scale. Currently doing Stronglifts 5x5 3 days a week and cardio/core/plyometrics/bodyweight exercises 3 other days per week.
How did you get those abs?!??? What exercise did you do to get that muscle in your ab area?0 -

All I can say is WOW what a transformation in you ladies, you're all looking good and should be really proud of yourselves.
I only joined this site this week so no success story yet. I'm 5' 1/2" and weigh 168 lb (or 12 stone for any fellow brits out there). I'm aiming for 126 lb (9 stone) or there abouts. I've been hovering around this weight for as long as I care to remember and now enough is enough. I've posted my worst two pictures on my profile so my reward will be seeing them being replaced by slimmer and slimmer pics.
Please feel free to add me as a friend as any encouragement is always good !!!0 -
I'm just a hair under 5'1". The "before" picture was taken about 12 years ago, at about 165 pounds, and before I hit my top weight of 185 (there are no pictures of that!). I started losing the weight in 2007 and I dropped to 120-ish and that took about a year. I kept it off for almost 5 years, then 20 pound crept back on... I've lost that 20 plus 2 more. Current weight 113 pounds. I am 60 years old. This was more about health than appearance, but that part doesn't hurt!

WOW, You look amazing! What did you do to get the weight off?0

Hey all! Don't normally post but thought I would just this once I'm 5 foot 3.
Highest weight: 248 pounds
Weight started on MFP: 218 pounds
Current weight: 164 pounds
Next goal weight: 140 pounds
So, apart from a few blips I've lost 84 pounds. Have some pics on profile but will do some more soon as its been a while, may even post a topic if you are lucky It's took a while but I'm so proud and it doesn't matter how many times you fall, you can always get back up again. I try and eat healthily but it quite often doesn't work out, but I drink plenty and lots of fruit and veg. I'm also not bad at exercising but I have to say I'm just a normal girl who could never do such an organised diet that many of these wonderful people seem to do! Anyone is welcome to add me0 -
