I loooove going through the Success Stories forum for inspiration, but I'm dying to find anyone with similar goals to mine. It's hard for me to see progress in my own body, so.. let me see yours! I'm 5'9", started at 274, currently 235, goal being 190-ish.

Help, help, help!

    I'll show you mine once I get there! I just started yesterday, so it'll be a while... But I have the same goal, and am 5' 10.5"
    I'd love to see some success stories as well. They're good motivation (:

    So .... I was not going to post any before/after until I had an after that I was OK with (I would like to find someone to take some for me so I'm not doing 'self photos') ... but I too enjoy seeing success stories and I have worked my tail off for the last two years.

    As I fit into your category pretty close (I am 5' 8 1/2" tall), I decided to suck it up and reply to this request. My "starting" photo below is me at about the same weight you listed currently ... about 235. However, I do not have a truly accurate "before" picture, as I piled on another 30 lbs in the two years after this was taken. My highest weight was 265. I am a photographer, so it was pretty easy to be the one behind the camera since I hated the way I looked in photos. The "before" shown here is the last photo I was willing to be part of.

    Jump forward to my "after" photo ... which was taken at the gym yesterday ... at 154 lbs. Down from a size 24 to a 6/8. I still watch what I eat, go to the gym 5-6 days a week and when I'm not there, I am still finding ways to remain active ... even on my "off" day from the gym. It's been a real lifestyle change this time. This time, it's forever!

    Ok, I think I'm close enough for you. Both in height and in starting weight. I'm 5' 8" inches. Highest weight was 277 and in 6 months I have lost 83 pounds. Here are my before and current photos. I'm looking to lose another 30 to 40 pounds too.
