    Me too. I started at 300, am currently at 209 and would like to get to 190. Actually, I would be ecstatic to weigh 200. :)

    I'm right there too! I'm 5'10"-5'11" and my highest weight was 293, current weight is 210, and goal weight was 190 though now I'm thinking more like 175 (high "normal" BMI) so my Dr. will get off my back. At this point I'm just dying to get on the scale and see a number that begins with a 1! haha Anyone here have a before and after photo of a little over 200 to 170ish that they would like to share for inspiration?

    My picture is before & currently. SW 210 CW 176 GW 140. Feel free to add me :)

    You look great! I'd be ecstatic if I looked even close to that good when I hit my 175 GW. I am so envious of my shorter friends. They will loose 20-30 lbs and look like a new person, I lose 20-30 lbs and my current jeans just fit looser. It's good to see that the weight loss will eventually show on my tall frame.

    Thank you!
    Oh yes, I totally agree! I feel I'm only starting to notice a visual difference now that I'm 30lbs+ down. But now my weight is getting lower, when I lose a couple of pounds I can tell, where as at the beginning I couldn't.. If that makes sense?

    Hey ladies. I just turned 38, am 5'11" and currently weight 325. I started weight watchers two months ago and joined the local gym. I'm sweating my butt off almost everyday for 1 1/2 hours and I'm just not seeing any progress. Before I started I didn't notice any flabby arms. Now, for the first time tonight, I'm noticing real bad flab. I'm so confused and just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    Sweating your butt off is great! But weight loss is 75-80% diet (not an exact number but you get my drift). Although you go to the gym for 1.5 hours, what/how much are you eating?

    Also, the flab could be muscle growth that is leaving excess skin. I haven't noticed any weight loss for a while but I can tell I am stronger. When I started in October I was doing cable rope tricep extensions at 20 lbs, now I'm doing 3 sets, 10 reps at 80 lbs! I notice more flab in my arms but it could be that before, it was full of fat/water/crap, and now there is lean muscle under there! Muscle is more dense, so although 1 pound of fat and 1 pound of muscle both weigh 1 pound, the muscle is going to take up much less room.

    Keep it up! I understand your frustration but focus on your diet and kicking butt in the gym :smile:

    Hey girls, I am 29, 5'8, SW 219 CW 215 GW 170 or lower. I've yo-yo'd back and forth over the past decade and am determined to be at my goal weight by the time I turn 30 next July! I'm on week 4 of the C25k program and just bought me a fancy schmancy new pair of running shoes this past weekend. Always open to new friends if you want to add! B)

    Hi! My name is Maggy and I'm 5'7". I'm around 195 pounds and I'm setting my sights on 170 pounds. I'm currently breastfeeding so I shouldn't lose more than 1 pound a week, but I am so hoping to be less fluffy by my baby's first birthday! (This December)

    I would love to be 145 but I think that's a dream weight! Please add me as a friend if you want! Always looking for new friends and more motivation! :)

    Hi! I'm 5'11 and my starting weight was 215 lbs. I'm pretty much at maintenance now, 72 lbs down. I guess I'm the "after" for you? Anyway, I know what it's like, where you've been, where you're going, and all the joys of being tall (5 lbs loss no one notices :neutral: 5 lb gain no one notices :smiley: ).

    Feel free to add me, just leave a message about how you're a tall person. I always add tall people.

    Wow reading that I thought I wrote it! I was 5'8 shrunk to 5'6 but I'm back to 5'7.5. I started losing weight at 225 and I'm down to 197. My Dr put me on a keto diet due to various health reasons. Then we did a food allergy test and the results floored me! I have since been roughly sticking to my diet and not eating anything on the allergy list and the weight is just falling off.
