    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.

    I've been looking for a thread like this!

    I'm 5'9" and started MPF last month. My highest weight was 197 and I'm down to 183.5 right now. Don't have after pictures yet, but my goal is to reach 145 before the end of the year :)

    Bump! I needed this. Started feeling sorry for myself, mostly due to a plateau therefore I gave up for a few weeks. No more excuses!

    Great pictures everyone. I'm 5'9.5" and have lost around 130...it's been going up and down for the last 6 months or so, but generally here. I have gone from 320 to 186. My profile pictures is at 199 and one of my favorite pictures is on my profile of my in the last pair of pants I bought "before"
