Before and after pictures of 5'4" women

My starting weight was 184 back in March 2013, lost 40 pounds by June 2014, and have maintained 40 pound weight loss through now, currently weigh 140. I am 5'4 and would like to get down to 130-135, the last few pounds have been tougher to lose and keep off. I eat clean (which is home cooking, eliminating as much processed/packaged foods/eating out, measuring my food in which I pretty much eat what I want, I am not on a restricted veggies/salads food plan). In addition, I was working out regularly, 5-6 days a week, one hour of cardio (spinning, elliptical, or treadmill) and added weight training 2-3 times a week a year ago to tone up.

How I have maintained for a year is working out 4-5 times a week, continuing to eat clean, and measuring my food. I still eat junk food here an there which makes me think if I dropped it then I could probably lose the last 5-10 pounds (junk foods is Starbucks coffee, chips, cookies, and a burger out once a week). For me it takes commitment in setting out my gym clothes the night before and making my meals in advance such as lunches packed and dinners made/measured out (I meal prep on the weekends). I don't think I would have been able to maintain if I did not continue exercising regularly and prepped meals. When I was logging in my food intake before getting committed, I would lose a pound or two and gain it the next week, it was not staying off. Once I signed up for a gym membership in June 2013 the weight melted off, I was surprised I exceed my goal of 150 since I had always been a chubby kid and adult. I remember weighing 150 in 8th grade and high school, in which I did not know what it was like to wear a size 10 and under. I was always in a lucky 12, regular 14 and 16. Now I am in a 4 and 6 depending on style/cut/brand. In March 2015, I finally allowed myself to take all my big clothes to Goodwill.

You can do it, it takes commitment, making time, and preparation. I wish you well.
