5"7 woman success stories ?

I'm 5'8 currently 157 lbs pretty happy, might go down couple lbs before i start maintenance. I want to build a little muscle. I'm an athlete

started around 180 now I'm around 155 ish i just want to get down to 150/145 I'm more concerned with lifting and getting rid of my flabby tummy haha

In college, my weight crept up from the 170s to 195, which was the highest & unhappiest I had ever been... I realized as a new teacher last year that I needed to do something about all of the stress I had and that I was in control of how I felt about my body. I got a Y membership & started exercising January 2013 and didn't lose much of anything, and then I really cut out a LOT of junk (coughoreoscough) & started to see some difference... but it still took me until the end of May to lose 15lbs.

It took all year, but I've lost about 30lbs and was at 164 before the holidays (there's no scale here at my parents' house!), which is the lowest I can ever remember being. I'm just a few pounds shy of being in the "normal" bmi range!

I tend to carry most of my weight in my stomach, so I was hoping 30lbs would look like more than it does, but I checked my inches lost and it was encouraging!
Waist: 35 to 31.5: 3.5inches
Hips/Stomach: 43-39.5 (size 14 down to sometimes in a size 10(never been that!!!)... though it's tight with all those Christmas cookies I've eaten! haha): 3.5 inches
Thighs: 23/24 to 21: 4 inches
Left arm (bicep): 13.5 to 12: 1.5 inches
Right arm (bicep): 13 to 11.75: 1.25 inches
Total inches lost: 13.75 inches

For 2014, I'm hoping to lose 20 more pounds & introduce consistent weight training 2x a week. I don't really have an ultimate goal weight yet because I just want to be healthy and not let my "diet" control my life... #aintnobodygottimeforthat. So, I'm just going to keep going and see where is a healthy weight that my body naturally maintains.

Here's a before (left) & after (right). I think even my head shrunk (heh heh), but not my crafting abilities because I made that dress & the Christmas sweatshirt.

Howdy! I'm right in between 5'7 and 5'8 and I started on MFP December 2012 at 247 (ish) pounds and I a currently 182

my goal is 160 cause then I'm FINALLY in a healthy BMI but considering how I feel at that point, I might shoot for 150.
Good luck!!!

I just posted my success story here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1159674-2013-by-the-pound?page=1

Started at 210 and now 150.

you guys all look amazing! I am 5'9ish and my UGW is 145 though I will be happy at pre-pregnancy weight which is 152.

You look Awesome!

thanks!! I still feel like 290 but maybe when I get abs ill feel better hahah

I'm 5'7 and the highest weight I have ever been is 152, lowest has been 135. I currently weight 140 and hope to get down to 130 in the next 6 weeks before my vacation..

I'm 5 foot 7 and about half way there. Being about 3 months into this life change, I already feel successful though, because I am doing it. It is doable. I am seeing results!

Don't have a place to host pics, but my before / half way there pic is in my profile.

I am 5'6" and was 154lb at my heaviest. Got down to 109lb which i liked, but have since gone up a bit (I blame Christmas and such!) Hope to even out around 112lb in a couple of weeks after some careful eating.
My before and after are in my profile.
Good luck with your fitness and weight loss.

Im 5'7" started at 172, got down to 136 abut am back at 146, but im working my way back to 135, but wasnt quite happy there, maybe a bit more lifting will help with that

I'm still working towards my success story, but I'm currently at 147, on my way to 130. I started somewhere around 220 (refused to get on the scale).

I'm just 5'7", so I just say I am. I went from 163 to currently about 115

I started at 256 lbs and am now 155 lbs. It took me 15 months to lose the majority of the weight and I had a 3 month maintain period.

I had PCOS and Insulin Resistance and started the diet. The diet is low carb, high protein and very manageable.

I'm 5'7 1/2. I started my journey weighing 155 lbs. It took me 3 months to lose 15 lbs which was my original goal, however, once I got there I decided I wanted to lose another 5. It took me another almost 2 months to lose the next 5 lbs but I go there. Over the next year and a half I was just trying to maintain, but ended up losing another 8 lbs which brings me down to my current weight of 127. I have been maintaining for awhile, though I am trying to get back on track with eating healthier and working on getting stronger.
