    I can't wait until I have pictures to post here! I started at 202, but took "before" pictures the night before I started 30 day shred, I think was at 183-185. I'm currently at 180.5. My goal is 145.

    I was somewhere around 200 two years ago, I am 147 now.

    You can see the change in my pics, but nothing drastic.

    My profile picture is me, currently at 135 lbs. I'm 5'4" and started out at 151. Unfortunately my 151 looked more like 175 on me b/c of the way I'm built. I went from a tight 10 to a loose 8. Now I'm just working on toning, but I'd like to stay between 130-140.

    I think I've figured it out! Please bear with me, it's my first time posting pictures :ohwell:

    To the OP, congrats on your weightloss! And to those of you who have shared your pictures, you all look amazing! Keep up the great work! :drinker:

    My HW was 199 (right after giving birth). Here is a picture of me one week after my second son was born:

    Here's me when I started MFP at 190 lbs, I'm 5' 4"

    And here is me now, one year after joining MFP, at 148. I still have about 10 lbs to lose.

    I hear a lot of girls who are around 200 say they are aiming at 145 and I am not sure if that is really what they want or just what they think is possible. I started out at 218 so I set my original goal at 125 but I really only thought 140 ish was possible. I thought if I could just get to 140 that would be a miracle. 140 is an accomplishment by all standards but I just want to everyone to know there is a chance you may be able to do more. When I got to 140 I was thrilled with the accomplishment but not completely happy with the result yet. Have faith, just because you are over 200 doesn't mean you cannot reach the same goals as a girl who starts at 140. :happy:

    What an accomplishment! You look fabulous! And you are so right. I originally just wanted to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 160, but after seeing so many success stories on the forums, I realized I may be able to do more. I don't really have a goal right now, I'll just stop when I am happy with what I see. You are an inspiration!

    145 is the high end, and after that, most people skip the scale and focus on strength training. People tend to go by body fat %, how clothes fit and measurement vs the number on the scale. It also depends on lean body mass(bones, muscle, tissue etc). For my body, 118 would be anorexic and I am 5'3". I want muscle, not skin and bones, so to be safe, I am aiming for 140-150, and then I will begin strength training. :)

    You guys are such an inspiration!!

    I just joined yesterday, I am 5'6 and weigh 250 pounds. My goal is 120-130 pounds. I figure once I hit 140-150 I will begin strength training. I have a long road ahead of me but I am 100% committed to this!!

    Feel free to friend me, need the support!

    You are so right about this! Everything slows down after a certain point and you can't focus on the scale any longer or it will drive you mental! I've really been focusing on toning and building endurance. I actually just raised my calories from about 1200 to over 1800 so I can start building more muscle and repairing my metabolism for maintenance. I think 140-150 is a great weight to shoot for, but triciab79 looks amazing and it's nice to know you can reach your goals no matter what they are!

    I will be stalking this thread! I am 5' 4 3/4", and I started again yesterday at exactly 190 pounds. I haven't seen 145 in almost 10 years, I have no idea what size I'd be at that weight. Right now I'm at a size 16 pants, and I feel like crap.
