Wow - that is amazing.7 -
Everyone looks great! Please keep going!
As for me, I'm still in my in between, but not for long ;D My starting weight was 161 lbs, now I am 107 lbs- goal weight being 100 lbs (height reference, I am 5'1'' with a small frame). It's great to be able to wear size 0/2 pants, but I tried on this skirt and it's actually too big at a size 3 O.o

Not the greatest quality photos, but this is 230lbs to 170lbs. 30 more to go. Can't say i'm not a little embarrased with the first pic, but its awesome to look back and see how far I've come. Hello waist!
You look fantastic - great motivator to me to keep going!4 -

I'm "shedding for the wedding." I have a bit more to lose before the big day, but I'm happy with my progress so far.

I just love threads like these! Reading these stories has been inspiring from day 1, and I come back to them whenever I need to remind myself why I started. 3 years ago, I was over 300 lbs, and was diagnosed with high cholesterol at 30 years old. That is what did it for me. Something in my head just clicked, and I downloaded MFP the next day. My weight loss has most certainly not been linear, I have gone up and down, and I still have 20 ish pounds to go. But, here are my photo contributions to the thread!

Already made a post about my halfway but hey I wanna join in too. Don't have a side view of my starting weight but first pic is about 227-230lbs, the last 2 only have a 10lb difference but I started lifting between those two. Second pic 190, last about 180. Goal probably between 130-140 not sure yet.

Well, I still have a long way to go, but thought I would post a few. It was hard to dig up any before because I hated pictures. Not sure if you can see the loss in these. The yellow cardigan pictures were taken tonight. I am 5'5". I started at 240 and am currently down 44.5 pounds. I have about 45-50 more to go.

Awesome work - I know what you mean about those beginning pictures - I always try to get in the back and I am usually one of the short ones so they push me up front!0 -
This is a 66lb loss. I had gotten to 207 then, in 6 months, gained 28 lbs and then lost 14 lb of it in the last couple of weeks. It's a journey!
SW 276
CW 221
GW 179
5ft 7 1/2 tall, 38 years old
Went from morbidly obese class 3 to obese class 1. From size (tight) 20/22 to (tight) 12/14.
I do CICO and IF along with lifting heavy 2-3 days a week with light cardio thrown in. I set myself up at 1200 cals a day. I'll do this for a couple months and bump it up to 1500 once I reach 207. I've been workin' it for a couple years now.
Great job everyone!

SW:190
CW:165
GW: 150? Maybe go into the 140s...we'll have to see when I get there!
I'm 5'6"...this is always a slow process for me...I've been stalled at 165 for 2 weeks now which is frustrating, but I'm just working hard at staying on track and switching up my exercises! Good luck to everyone on your journey!

You're welcome! Took me a while to figure out "IF" the first few times I saw it with no frame of reference. If? If what?
btw, I'm close to halfway through my own journey right now (32lbs out of 67), but don't have any recent pictures (yet!) - when I get some, I'll add to the discussion! 0 -
SueSueDio - looking forward to your pictures of your journey!

This first picture is 2 months into my MFP journey but I don't have photos from those days. I've currently lost 86lb, have come off blood pressure meds and live a much healthier life style on the whole. I still have more to lose but I don't mind how slowly as long as the trend is down!6 -
