    I'm 34 years old and 5'9". The picture of me in the purple shirt is from a couple of years ago when I was 200 pounds. The picture of me in the red dress is from 2 weeks ago at 148 pounds. I started my weight loss journey in March 2014 after I got up to 210 pounds. I never ate below 1800 calories a day to lose weight, and am currently maintaining at 2500 calories a day. My routine is 4 days of lifting, 2 days of light cardio, and 15-30 minutes of yoga daily. I'm happy with my current weight and general size, so I'm working on changing my body composition with lifting and cycles of bulking/cutting. I'm currently sitting at around 23% body fat (DEXA scan), and plan to start another bulk in 3 weeks. Hopefully, by next Spring I can get down to 20% body fat.

    You look fantastic. Well done!
    It's good to know that you can lose on 1800 cals. I'm currently breastfeeding and was advised not to go below that.

    Thanks so much! Weird thing is, that bikini was kind of a low point. I had to get a 24 and it made me decide to make changes.

    i'm not ready to post pics yet...but the stats are:

    5'8" medium build
    starting weight, april 2015: 190 pounds
    current weight, september 2015: 170 pounds
    goal weight: 155 pounds

    the reason for my posting is to encourage any women who are feeling discouraged by slow weight loss. for months, i ran and ran on the treadmill into the wee hours of the night, and became frustrated that the weight loss wasn't more drastic. i wasn't following a strict diet, but i was watching what i ate way better than usual. i felt like i needed a solution, though, because i still wasn't happy with where i was at. enter a pair of adjustable weight dumbbells my fiance bought for me.

    ladies, please...do NOT fear "getting bulky" by lifting weights!! it's harder to "get bulky" than it is to gain beautiful, lean muscle mass and a toned body! and honestly, i've lost weight more rapidly lifting weights (and running much less, maybe 10 miles per week) in one month than in those 5 months slogging along on the treadmill. please try it out if you're feeling desperate for a solution. of course, a decent, protein/veggie-heavy diet in conjunction will also work wonders and impact your weight loss journey even more positively. but i really wanted to put the weightlifting concept out there for those of you who do "so much" cardio and don't feel it's being fair enough to the numbers on your scale!!!

    Just joined 22 days ago. So glad I MFP.

    I'm 5'10, thin-medium boned (my wrists, lower arms are tiny compared to my body), all fat around abdomen, butt area, and chest). I started at 241 and have lost 8lbs. Incredible that I'm doing this. Lost 45+ 10 years ago with WW but put on the pounds 1st week of maintenance and haven't look back since till 22 days ago.

    My goal weight is 160 lbs.

    Good luck ladies. We look awesome in heels!!!
