5'6/5'7 women results please share

If this doesn't motivate someone, I don't know what will!

At the risk of being thought of weirdly, I want to post my success story in the opposite direction...

I am recovered from anorexia. It's been a long, hard road, and I still have really tough mental days, but I'm proud of how much I've overcome and the health I have restored. MFP has been so helpful for me so I can keep myself in check to make sure that I'm getting enough nutrition, and the accountability of my open diary helps. In the first two pictures, I was 79lbs and 94lbs... those were taken 5-6 years ago. The last two I am between 120-125. Now that I'm maintaining, I rarely weigh myself - I gauge it by how my clothes fit. I haven't looked at these pictures side by side until now... it really makes me see how good health looks on me!

this makes me REALLY happy to see! congratulations! felicidades! mazel tov .

You look absolutely beautiful but more importantly healthy. This is the first time I've seen this kind of success story and just wanted to say how Inspirational I think you are

I'm 5'7 and lost 40 lbs last year and have kept it off since July. I still track daily, but only weigh every week or two or whenever the whim hits. If I'm up a little then I exercise a little more or eat a little less. If I'm getting too low then I eat a little more. So far I've managed to float in a 5 lb range. Most of my exercise is walking. I haven't had a pop since Jan last year and drink lots of water and tea when I want something more (or a glass of milk here nad there). I have treats almost daily (more in maintenance than I did when loosing), but in moderation and try to keep lots of fruits and veggies. You can do it - just be consistant. You can see my progress in my profile pic.

my profile picture shows my change

SW - 177
CW - 149
GW - 147

At 177lbs I was wearing a UK 16 (US 14) at my CW I'm in a skinny UK 12 (US 10) I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd ever get to this size.

Nice job ladies!!

I am 5'7" - - the pic on left is me at our daughter's wedding in August 2012 (weighing 348lbs). I started to work on my weight loss in February 2013 and have lost 87lbs to date -- pic on right is this past January (weighing 276lbs). I am down another 15lbs and have to do a new pic soon

Keep up the good work!

Confession: Used this thread for motivation during my run on the elliptical tonight. Thanks all for looking so fabulous and kick-starting my workout. Congratulations on your accomplishments!
