I started at 172lbs with a goal of 147lbs in Nov 2012. May 2013 I reached 147.25lbs, so close! Then I regained everything by Christmas 2013 :( I refocused at the beginning of this year and this week I have reached 147lbs!! I reset my goal in the mean time to be 132lbs, the next 15lbs are going to be a very slow loss though over about 10months :) I'm so much fitter now though, I can run further and faster and feel so much more confident too :D I'm just starting stronglifts 5x5 so hopefully that will help me get where I want to be!

Before 172lbs

At the beginning of May I really upped my running and gym work outs so this is the (small) difference between then (157lbs) and today (147lbs)

    Thanks for the support everyone :) it was hard for me to realise the difference until I looked at the photos! There's really not much difference in the last two months comparison photos, BUT in that time I have gotten much stronger, I can run further and faster and I feel better, I've noticed my clothes fit better too even if the photos don't show it! Although despite very little change, it does look like I've had a bum lift! Which I'm pleased with!

    awesome! i also started at 172, though I think I'm a bit shorter than you (5' 3.5"), either that or you carried it better! That's amazing though, congrats on your success, you look great!

    Great work! I am 5'5" starting at 175 and have a 150 first goal with maybe a 140 final goal. Thanks for posting your results and congrats on your success. I was also down to nearly my goal weight (153) and regained it all so seeing that you got it back off again is especially inspiring.

    ! There's really not much difference in the last two months comparison photos,

    I disagree. I think there is a very noticeable difference. Your arms, back, and tummy especially.

    Great work!!!!

    Thanks everyone :) glad to hear I've inspired people :)

    krennie8 I'm 5'7" so a little taller than you which should be why I carry the weight a bit differently

    I just properly looked back at the photos of 157lbs and 147lbs and I can actually see the difference now! :) I look less wobbly! Hopefully now I've started strong lifts 5x5 everything will tighten up! :)
