    I'm 5'9" and started at 217. I'm now down to 147. How I look now could be very different from how you would look at my weight because I do little cardio and lift heavy.

    I do lots and lots of cardio, mostly because I am much more focused on losing weight right now instead of building muscles, but I do strength training every other day. Id love to one day lift heavy!

    I'm 5'6" - I started at 230 and currently weigh 181.

    I also lift heavy, combined with cardio. I'm happy with my progress. My waist is firm and flat, even though I'm at least 20lbs from my goal. I have no jiggle. It's awesome :) Thank you heavy lifting!!

    I started out at 339 and now I weigh 212 and I am 5'8" tall. Been morbidly obese for 15 years, my entire adult life. I didn't know any other way to be until recently with the weight loss. My goal is 140-150 lbs. but I will take anything under 165 (my healthy BMI range). I am an emotional eater and a stress eater. If I can do this, you definitely can!! Add me if you want any more friends who are still on this journey. It's a daily struggle, but we will kick the fat monster in the *kitten* ;)

    I am 5' 8" and started at 265. Now down to 241 and plugging away VERY slowly, but I celebrate every loss of 10% with at least one new piece of clothing that fits at the weight I am at now. Just keep at it!

    I have no pics yet cause I'm no where near my goal, but I started at 222, now at 212 with a goal of 160, I'm 5'8"

    Very interested in this post!! :)

    I would pretty much like to see woman at my height and weight now because I have this really disgusting image of myself. I refuse to wear a top outside without a hoody because I feel repulsive. I look different in every mirror and every picture!
    And then ill see woman at my goal weight also and I'll say wow... 40 more lbs and I could look like that!

    I call that the Fun House Mirror effect. I started at 235, am currently at 179, and I still have days where every mirror I look in is warped. I just keep looking at before pictures to put my mind at ease!

    I'm 5'7" currently 184 and am hoping to get down to 130-140. I just had our third child almost two months ago and am trying to take things slow since I'm nursing and I don't want my milk supply to disappear. I was at 150 when I got married (almost 6 years ago) and would even be happy with that. I mainly want to feel confident in my appearance rather than fixate on a number on the scale. :-)

    I'm 5'6" and have gone from 220 to 190. I want to get down to about 155. I would love some friends with similar goals. We can cheer one another on! Feel free to add me.

    Your mileage may vary, but it's what I use to help me imagine what I might look like at certain milestones.

    Thank you so much!

    I just started, and these posts are helping me, especially as I have to take thyroid meds too.

    Wow... just wow. I can't weight until I can actually wear a tank top in public without feeling incredibly uncomfortable. You look great!
