    Your photo is very motivating enough.. you certainly don't look 198lbs!

    5'9
    Started at 180
    Finished at 150

    If you go to my profile, the pic of me in a sports bra/shorts is the before... and there are ones during... I don't think I have a true after.

    I never really bothered to take photos while losing.

    I carry my weight well, I guess. LOL. I have really chubby butt/thighs and arms as well.

    Well keep up the great work cause you certainly fooled me haha!! You definitely carry very well :-)

    After having my second child I was up to 197lbs too. I'm about two inches shorter than you but hopefully this motivates you in some way. I started this year off on the 1st of Jan at 181.5lbs. My goal is 160.. I'm more focused on losing fat and exposing muscle than what the scale says. Most folks don't think I am the weight I am.

    In 83 days I've lost 14lbs, went from a size 12/13 to a 6 pants. Started off at 31%BF now I am 25%. I have horrible stretch marks, some sagging skin, unfortunately it's genetic but I deal. Day 83 was two days ago..

    Day 8 seems to be the only old front pic I have:

    I started at 5' 8", 190, and I'm down to 169 in three months! You can do it! Stay strong and don't let yourself binge or skip workouts. Every time your brain tries to tell you that you deserve a chocolate bar or you don't need to work out today, remember that this is the same brain that led you to gain all this weight, and that these are the kind of thoughts that are going to put that weight back on. Change doesn't come from the subconscious, it comes from active efforts.

    5'9" currently at 175. Met my first goal of 180 but now I'm thinking about taking it another 10 or so. I was 145 when I got married. Wonder if that is possible?!?!??!

    5'9" and 160. I weigh about the same as my profile pic (I'm the one being thrown).

    I'm 5'8.75" and currently 162lbs. 150 is my goal.

    This was a couple of months ago at 160.
