    Anyone is more than welcome to check my before and progress pics :)

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1117849-progress-picture-embarrassing-before-pic

    I'm just under 5'9"

    Feel free to add me if you want as well! I log in and work out every day.

    Also, I have long arms, long legs and long fingers. LOL and I wear a size 10 shoe. I don't know if that makes me a large frame but I've always believed that about myself. I now can fit in most "medium" sizes but they still don't fit because I'm too long. LOL!

    I am the exact same... shoe size and all!

    I am 5'10" and want to lose 80 pounds. It sounds like such a huge number, but height really HIDES weight well. People look at you and just think "she is curvy." But it is there! Just spread out well! lol

    I just started yesterday. I am 5' 10" and looking to lose 85 pounds. It seems like a lot, but when you are taller, you weight distributes to different parts of your body. I used to play basketball in high school and that kept me on track. During college, I kept my weight under control, but it seemed to be creeping up by senior year. Now that I have a desk job, I would become lazy and go for the easy route. It is nice to know I am not alone....Any support/encouragement is welcome!

    Wow! Wow wow wow! Such an inspirational thread!

    I'm only just starting out my weight loss story! I'm 5ft 8, and;

    SW: 259lbs
    CW: 240lbs
    GW: 150lbs

    Looking at some of these pictures and stories has really inspired me. I've kind of realised that there's many out there like myself, and if they've done it, why the hell couldn't I? I will defo post pics when in a few months, when I feel I've made a difference. :)

    Thank you for the inspiration, ladies (and few gents)!

    I have been trying to aim for around 1500 at the moment - just looked and my net varies quite a bit ( exercise days?) around the 800/900 looks average

    Well done ladies! I'm 5,11 and have set my goal to get me in the healthy weight category. Once I've reached there I'm going to see how I feel and readjust my target weight.

    Thanks so much everyone for posting your pictures and stories. You should know how much you've helped us all, when we've got no motivation and feel like it's never going to happen. I wish everyone the best of luck x

    I'm sorry, but you should look into eating more. Netting 800 or 900 isn't healthy and will lead to yo-yo dieting, as your body deconstructs your muscles to utilize the protein and leaves you with less lean mass, which leads to lower metabolism, gaining fat and less effective dieting the next time.

    Don't get me wrong--I dieted that way for years because I literally thought it was the only way to lose weight. It made me skinny-fat and made keeping fat off impossible.



    I was actually just curious how many calories people are eating who are not on very low calorie diets (vlcd), because I've BTDT and now that I'm not doing VLCD any longer, I'm curious what the range is for others my height. My calorie goal is currently set to 1670 as a daily minimum (my BMR is ~1550 and I won't eat below that), but I generally eat up around 2100 on exercise days with eating back my exercise calories, and average around ~1960ish.

    Others?
