    This is all so inspiring! I love this thread!

    I am 5'8.5" tall and currently weigh around 179. After I had my 3rd baby in 2012 last year I was my highest weight ever of 197 pounds. I started counting calories in early August of this year and started dropping weight pretty quickly. (still nursing)

    My goal is 145, my weight before I had my second baby. After baby number 2 I got back down to 165 and then got pregnant with baby 3 so its even harder this time around.

    Anyway, I hope to post before and after pictures in the next few months.

    I am 5'8 1/2... I've been up and down with the same 8 lbs, but this is what 8 lbs loss looked like... I think that I was toning muscle just as much as I was burning fat because now I can feel muscles in places that I had no idea were there (ABS, THIGHS, ETC...) I hope that this picture serves as proof that EVERY SINGLE LB lost counts!

    Wow, this is motivation. I have a lower stomach problem and I wish it would show such great changes with few pounds, but so far it hasn't.

    I'm 6ft with a large frame. I have very broad shoulders and hips, and all my weight goes to my thighs, stomach and upper arms. I'm still 25lbs away from my goal (150lbs) but here are my before and during pics.

    Before - 220lbs

    Thanks, UpEarly!

    And to reply to Meredith, my goal right now is 160-170 and afterwards I plan on toning to get down as low as I can get to get a flat enough stomach and to where I feel good at, weight wise.

    suggestion: Start toning now. STrength Training/Weight Lifting. There are numerous success tories of women who have lost over 100 lbs doing 3-4 days of ST/WL and 1-2 days of Cardio. And looking a tthem, you wouldn't even guess they ever carried that much weight on them. I lift 4-5 days a week and do cardio ONCE. Ive lost 3 1/2 inches.

    You are in luck, as I just did a before/during photo & thread last night. Haha.

    I'm 5'10 and have a very solid frame! I am still kicking myself for not doing a 'proper' before pic - I was just too insecure! I do have a photo from that time and have paired it with a recent one of me in a similar pose (and the same coat! Haha), holding my daughter. The Before is this January at 272 lbs and my then 15mo - the During was 2.5 weeks ago with my now 2yo and I'm about 191 in that pic. :)

    I am loving all these pictures, ladies! Keep up the good work! I know how hard it is to be tall AND big! We can do it!
    And I personally have been so jealous of shorter ladies who can lose a smaller amount and have it be really visible. I lost 50lbs and ppl barely noticed! It's the last 30lbs that ppl have commented... like, seriously?! hahah

    First of all, love the pink hair. And yeah, I'm also jealous of shorter ladies who can lose less and have it still be visible!

    Hey I'll bite with this!

    SW: about 300 (let's just say I avoided a scale like a plague lol)
    CW: 173

    I have a "large frame" very wide hips (I doubt I'd ever be smaller than an 8, and im barely a 10 now) and shoulders.

    I'm hoping to be down another 13 pounds... but dang it's hard at this point! :sad: Would also like my chest back... lol.

    Forgot to mention I'm 5'11"

    You are Gorgeous!!! :) Congrats!
