    Hey ladies! How much did you weigh when you went into a size 14 jean?

    It definitely has to do with where you carry your weight/brand of jeans. At my highest weight, 268, I had just moved in to a 20. That was a serious turning point for me.

    I'm currently 247 and am wearing a 16, though they can be snug when they first come out of the dryer.

    At 220 I'm in a 14.

    When I lost before, I got down to 180 and was in a comfortable 12, edging on a 10.

    Day 1 (Jan 20) 183.5lbs, 31% body fat
    Day 145 (today) 170lbs, 22.5% body fat

    Mom of two. I can squat and deadlift my bodyweight. I eat 2200+ calories a day. You don't need to lose a lot of weight to make drastic changes to your body.

    It is very inspirational to read these threads... I have just started and lost 11lbs in a couple weeks.

    As I read your jean size posts I wonder if some are quoting US sizes and some UK sizes as there is a difference.

    I have loved seeing the weight loss photos but also the post from the lady who struggles from anorexia and has gained. It's all about healthy living whatever end of the spectrum we are at.

    Thank you for sharing so much

    I am 5'6, and starting weight on this site was 204 lbs.I started this journey in May 2010, after seeing a picture of me 6 weeks after giving birth to my youngest son. I was disgusted, I hated feeling that way. I found MFP from a friend, and slowly started tracking my food, and started becoming more and more active. I joined a gym, and in the beginning, I would only go for15 minutes, be too tired and leave. (Sorry the pictures are so big!!!!)

    After a couple months, I was seeing some progress.

    Then I reached my weight goal - December 2010 which was 150 lbs.

    I have maintained this weight now for over 2 years - so I started this year to really tone, and work on my muscles, and I am LOVING the results! So much, that I am in the process of becoming a Fitness Instructor!!! :)

    I'm 5'6 and very much in the middle of this journey. My starting weight when I got serious was 242 in December of 2013. I'm down 26.4 lbs now at 216. My goal weight is 155, and I would be fine between 155-160. I notice the weight loss in my face, arms, calves, breasts, and stomach already. Can't wait to see what the next 25 lbs holds!

    That's only a three pound difference. 149 to 146. But I lost almost 2" off my waist, about 6" off my hips, finally got under 24" around my thighs (23.5 and 23.7 but STILL. lol) and though the measurement hasn't changed significantly in my upper thigh/lower butt, there's been a significant visual change. *I* think, anyway. lol

    I agree. I have been cruising through the 'Success' threads in hopes of keeping my motivation up! I'm only a month in and it's around this time that I (historically) start slacking.. I want to be in the best shape of my life. The only thing that is stopping me is ME!

    Ladies, you all look wonderful!

    I'm 5'6". No photos yet (maybe I'll have someone take a picture of me soon though, maybe at 50lbs down) but my story so far:

    April 2014: 250lbs (Highest in my life)
    CW: 209lbs
    GW: 140-150lbs

    I'm not even halfway there yet, and sometimes I can't imagine I'll ever get there. But then I look at my ticker, and remember how agonizingly long it seemed to take to get to 20lbs. And then 25lbs. And then 35lbs. And then 40lbs. I feel right now as though I'll never reach 50lbs down. And yet....
