I've posted some pics in the other 5'8" threads, but will pick some different ones! I've reached below my goal weight in weight loss, and am now working on finding my maintenance cals, and then increasing to gain muscle.
Highest adult weight, around 170
Middle ground, 150-160
Closest pic I could find before most recent weight loss, around 140
Pretty recent pic, around 113
eta: not the best face comparison as I have makeup on in all pics except most recent (workout face)!0 -

:blushing: Thanks!
I just cut 250 calories from my TDEE and did lots of walking/hiking. I ate regular food, watched portion sizes, and took it slow. It was pretty simple.0 -
I was 343lb, I'm now 160lb. Having trouble with photos at the moment but my profile picture is a before and now.
That is an incredible transformation! You look so good!0 -
No pics, but have had success followed by regain of 10lbs after I lost my job. :-( I'm 5'9" and am at 172. My lowest weight was 160 and I was SO happy. I had an initial goal of 150, but would be fine w/ maintaining btw 160 -165; depending on the time of the month. Now that spring is officially here I'm considering the C25K program. Any encouragement or advice is welcome!
The C25K program is really great-I've used it before and I just restarted it after a running hiatus. I would definitely recommend it!0 -

Hi! 5'8" starting weight 255 got down to my maintenance 155 then put 9 back on, so I am here again! Took about 4 years for me to lose the 100. I am currently at 159 so just a couple more to go! I have some before and afters in my pics. I'll add you! Not sure how to post them on here!0

I started on my journey on January 19, 2014. I was at 259 lbs and in complete denial of how large I had gotten. The pictures and scales don't lie and I had to the truth and do something about it. The first thing I did was stop drinking Diet Cokes and only would drink water. I never drank coffee and tea was just sip here and there. I started using MFP and put everything I put into my mouth into my log. It didn't go into my mouth without it going into MFP. A week after I started logging my food I started the 21Day Fix program. Fast forward to today and I am at 166 and still logging my food and working out. As of today I have started going to a gym to lift weights to try and tone up some problem areas. I still enjoy 21Day Fix (I still do it 5 days a week) and also just received Cize and will start it next week. My goal is 159. The last 10 pounds have been the hardest to get off but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I would like to reach the 100 pounds by January 19, 2016. Just a few weeks prior to me turning the big "50".
Good luck and keep working hard!!'
