Heaviest - 210 lbs at 40 weeks pregnant with my first. I just had my third baby and was 175 when I came home on 12/12/2014. Got down to 143 on WW after my second. I'm trying MFP this time.
SW - 175
CW - 163
GW - 135
Friend me...my news feed needs motivation!0 -

I'm beginning to think that since I started getting serious about weight-lifting, I will never be in the 120s again - maybe not the 130s either, which is really okay with me. I'm 43 and a runner who lifts weights a few times a week.
SW: 163
CW: 158
GW: 140?? I just don't know. I know what I want to look like and feel like. I seem to be heavier on the scale than everyone in my peer group. But I don't shout that from the rooftops, so I guess - what difference does it really make?0 -

At the risk of being cheesy or preachy, let's try to remember that we're all *beautiful* at SW, CW and GW. We just weigh less, fit into smaller clothes, move faster and lift heavier things at GW. xo0

I'm 24, and 5'4" (and a half, I guess)
I've not one to claim i've been overweight at any particular time, but I was making a lot of unhealthy choices largely due to a lack of self love (I've had to bounce back from a severe traumatic brain injury that transpired in 2009 from a car accident).
SW: 136 lbs
CW: 122 lbs
GW: 120.
Basically in my opinion, a combo of some calorie counting and exercise *together* is completely necessary to see real results. I was at 1200 cals/day, then 1550. I've done a myriad of things from CrossFit one summer, to joining a powerlifting club, to starting p90x3 pretty recently, which i love. (and let's be real, it's far too cold to head to the gym every morning anyway right now).0 -
I'm 5 foot 4 and a half. My highest was 167 and I went down to 134 two years ago. I regained up to 156 and started to diet January 4th . I am currently 142.2 with two goal weights-134 like before and if I'm still motivated-125. We will see!0

I'm 26, 5'6"
SW: 294
CW: 201
GW: 150
I have a very large frame. There's nothing small about me, I have a big head, neck, wrists, hips, calves, ankles, feet...alll of it. So I'm being conservative and making my goal the very top end of healthy for my height. If I get there and want to lose more, I'll do it.0 -
I am 26 and am 5' 4".
My Starting weight was 240 (I started November 2014)
My current weight is 210
My goal weight is 160
But if I do lose more I wouldn't mind I haven't been under 200 pounds in 7 years so I am excited to be close to that short term goal!
Good luck with your journey!

150 is a nice first goal. That was my first goal too.0 -

Hello. I am 5'6 and have a large frame.
I started my journey at the beginning of August at 305+ lbs. I currently weigh 215.6 lbs.
My goal weight is 155 lbs for now. My ultimate goal weight is about 130 lbs. I was 150 lbs about a decade ago and still felt like I could have lost some weight, so that's why I'm aiming to finish at a weight lower than that.
I don't have any photos of me at my heaviest weight, so I can't make a before/present comparison photo.0 -
Just a reference pic about my weight loss journey...
In case you can't read it, the photo on far left I'm at 157lbs in Feb/2011. I got serious that March about losing weight for my brother's wedding in late July/2011, which is basically what I look like in the middle photo from March/2013 at 137lbs (-20lbs total). Unfortunately due to underlying medical issues I was in crutches from May to October 2013 and put on weight during that and most of 2014 (last photo in September/2014 at about 162lbs. My ankle couldn't handle too much weight bearing, etc. Slowly getting better though.
I'm starting over, but at-least it took 2 years to put the weight back on because of a sucky bone tumor in my ankle.
I'm already down 3lbs. I want to get to at least 130 or 120 this time.0 -

Thank you, it was really starting to bum me out, all the weight gain. It literally weighs you down and I was so out of shape, but muscle memory is kicking in.0
