    Hey I'm 5'7" I started this path or a better lifestyle around March I was 4 months postpartum and was gaining weight so I knew I had to start somewhere. My husband had huge success using mfp and I knew I was ready for a real change so I downloaded the app and the rest is history! It has been so easy I don't know why this took me so long to do. I still ate all the things I love but though portion control a good kitchen scale and drinking water the weight actually flew off.

    I'm so close to goal weight makes me want to work even harder and I have actually started running again. Love this app and the community I spent many times looking through success stories on days I needed to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. fmimjpadekor.jpg

    Such an inspiration! Not sure why you're not smiling in the most recent pic! I would be, you look great! I'm just starting again, and I agree MFP is such an easy way to lose weight but for some reason I keep up for a few weeks and then fall off for a few months... I'm hoping this time I'll stick with it.

    Well I'm 5"7 1/2inches lol I don't have pictures because I never really thought to take progress pics but maybe I'll start since I'm still trying to lose weight. I just wanted to share that I have brith to my daughter 8 months ago. Pre pregnancy weight was 240 and by the time I gave birth I was 280. By the time I left the hospital I was 250. It was a pretty traumatic birth with lots of health problems. Stayed at the hospital for a week. I then lost another 10 bringing me to 240 by week 6 post partum. I then was not able to lose weight until recently since my milk supply ain't going no where! And I started gaining weight again! I decided to reduce my calories and focus on getting fit and i am now 220! I am excited but still have a ways to go. I plan to lose another 20 by Christmas and then another 20 by my daughters birthday in February.

    I'm 5'7 1/4 lol. After being overweight since I was 8 (I'm 38 now), I hit my all time non-pregnancy high of 275 about 6 years ago (one year after giving birth). I'm about 20 pounds down in my "before" pic as I literally can't find a single picture of my high weight...I guess I deliberately avoided cameras. I lost 130 pounds which was a little too much so I put on about 10 pounds of muscle. 155 was decent but too hard to maintain quite honestly! So now I'm down exactly 100 pounds (my recent pic is my profile pic).I fluctuate about 10-15 pounds depending on the time of year but I'm still working on trying to maintain the same healthy weight for my frame and activity level of about 160 so I don't know that the struggle ever truly ends. And I'm okay with that!! Weight loss can be one of the most amazing journeys of self-discover and FUN we could ever have!!

    I'm 5'7", and while I'm not at goal yet, I'm getting pretty close. I have struggled with my weight for most of my life, but especially in the last 10 years, particularly since I had kids. I had a very unhealthy relationship with food, and just felt lost when it came to weight loss, and felt trapped in my body. But I woke up one day and thought about how if I didn't alter the path I was on, I may not live long enough to watch my kids grow up...and I was also terrified they would follow in my footsteps. Since January 2015 I have lost over 86lbs simply through calorie counting and regular exercise. I'm 18lbs away from goal, which is exciting to me, because I started out 104lbs away from goal. I'm stronger, healthier, and happier! Starting weight was 263.8, current weight is 177.2.
