    I am 57 years old. I have no idea how much I weigh now. I last weighed around 142 and my goal weight is 125. I got down to 135lbs and was a size 10. Then March 1, 2015 I started doing strong lift 5x5. I then lost 17 inches and am now a size 5-7 depending on fit. I also went from doing 21 to 24 hours of cardio every week to ZERO I only do strong lift 5x5 for an hour every other day. I also changed from eating 1260 calories to 1600 +. I started lifting with a 12.5 lb bar and now lift 109 lbs squat, 100lb sumo squat, bench 83lbs, barbell row 89lbs, over head press 62lbs, and deadlift 137lbs.

    Wow, everyone looks so beautiful!!! I am just under 5'4 with a starting weight of 160 lbs. I have been using MFP for almost two weeks now and currently weigh 152. My goal is 118-120 so I have a long way to go but seeing all of these success stories helps me more than I can say. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!!!!!

    Heads up! Underwear pictures ahead. :laugh: If you're in the office or uneasy about half-naked pictures, I suggesting scrolling down very quickly. ;)

    I think it is amazing how you kept your curves, despite the weight loss. Congrats!

    The last two pictures were in May I think. I haven't seen much change since then, unfortunately.

    Wow, you look incredible! We have a similar body type, so it's good to see what I "could" look like if I put some more time into workouts!!

    Once a pear shape, not so much anymore! I still kept a 10 inch different between waist and hip though, which I really do prefer to keep.
