I still have at least 50lbs to lose, but I think the 35lbs lost so far has made a big difference! I am 5'2" and started at 218. The photo on the left was taken at 215.8 and the right was taken a few days ago at 183.

    Fantastic! You're inspiring!

    (Wish I'd kept a pair of pants from when I began--it's such a great visual!)

    Thanks! I've been at a plateau since early February and am just now getting the scale moving again.

    What did you do to break the plateau?

    What are the before and after pant sizes....if you don't mind me asking?!! AMAZING!!

    I'm wearing the same pants in both pictures, a size 18, but they were so worn & stretched, I was probably a size 20. I am wearing 16's right now but hope to get into 14's in the next 10lbs!
    What did you do to break the plateau?

    Well really, I'm not sure it's actually broken...I was hovering around 187 for months, and then it dropped after I decided to start eating my TDEE, but is now hovering around 184. Although I am just finishing up TOM, so I can't say for sure yet. So yeah, I just started eating more and started doing the 30 Day Shred (which I don't do every day) and rebounding on my mini trampoline along with some weights while I'm doing it.
    Any tips or tricks?!

    Not really, just count your calories to the best of your ability, make sure you eat enough (I net at LEAST 1500 a day, usually more), and exercise! Logging in to MFP for 295 days in a row probably helped as well. ;)

    Way to go!! I love the side by side pics in the same pants...you can really see an amazing difference. Inspiring to hear that you stuck with it, even when the scale wasn't moving for a while.

    Congrats AND thanks...we're at almost exactly the same place -- I started MFP at the same weight as you and I'm down to the same weight now, and I'm only a little bit taller (5'4"). I didn't take pictures, but oddly, yours help me figure out why everyone keeps telling me I look skinny.
