I'm 5'7". In my before pic, I was around 235 maybe higher cause I weighed in a month after this picture. My after pic. I'm around 185 lbs. I currently weigh 180.8 lbs. My goal weight is 170 right now. I will evaluate when I get there if I could stand to lose another 5 or 10 lbs.

Hi! I'm 5'6". The first pic was two years ago at 145 lbs and the second was taken a few weeks ago and I'm at 122 (a little under goal weight, but I'm looking to bulk in the fall)

You look amazing! What is your routine? Do you do strength training or only cardio? How many calories you are eating daily?1

Thanks so much. I do both cardio and strength training. I workout at OrangeTheory Fitness 4 times per week which incorporates HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) on treadmill and rowing machine, weights and so much more. I eat a ton of food if I don't exercise 1900 calories if I work out 2200 to 2400 calories daily. I try to eat my body weight in protein grams.6 -
Thank you for your quick reply. And my last question, how long it took you to lose the weight?

During @ 140 pounds:
After @ 135 pounds: (They made me sit on this stupid saddle for my birthday. It was the only way to get the free ice cream, so I pretty much HAD to do it.)

It has taken me about 7 months. At the beginning, I was losing weight much easier and quicker, averaging 12 to 15 lbs per month. In the last couple of months, I plateaued maybe only losing 5 lbs per month. That's frustrating to me. It might be because my body fat is getting low. Even though I have a high body weight. My body fat is 23%. I had the hydrostatic (underwater) body fat done. I will be taking DEXA scan body fat test next month. I upped my calories from 1200 to 1600 to now 2200 (non workout days) and 2400 to 2500 calories (workout days). That helped me lose weight when I had plateaued. Making sure I ate enough protein helped too. My body requires around 1900 calories just to breathe. Based on my lean muscle mass which is 139.6 pounds of my body mass.richardpkennedy1 wrote: »Wow you look fantastic. 180 lbs seems a lot but you carry it well! My comparison I am 5'7" and 145 lbs.
I used to weigh this when I was younger. I'm 34 now. I have more muscle now. My lean muscle mass (139.6 lbs) alone is almost my old body weight. It's funny now. That people who haven't seen me in a while think I'm smaller than I was in college. I tell them no I actually weigh more now. They don't believe it.richardpkennedy1 wrote: »Wow you look fantastic. 180 lbs seems a lot but you carry it well! My comparison I am 5'7" and 145 lbs.

It's definitely a doable goal. I thought my goal weight would need to be much lower than 170 but after I saw how my body was changing. I don't think I can get much lower than 165 really without sacrificing my lean muscle mass which I don't want to do.

You look fantastic!! I also have a higher goal than most would think. It's not the number, it's how you feel and look and stay strong! Way to go!4 -

I don't have any pictures because I hate getting my picture taken. I'm 32 and am about 5'6" and I started out at 221(my heaviest) in mid July 2015. I finally was able to give up junk food (my addiction) and I started working out 5-6 days a week (I love exercise) and I started praying for God to give me the strength to say no to the foods that were tempting me. Currently(may 2016) I am down 45lbs and I'm weighing in at 176. I plateaued for a few months and just recently started losing again. Id like to lose another 20lbs, and I have faith that it will come eventually. I can see and feel the difference and it's amazing! I can't wait to see how I feel when I actually meet my goal. Keep up the the great work all you MFP people! You've all been very inspiring.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
My thoughts exactly! I love that scripture verse, one of my favorites. Keep up the wonderful work, your doing wonderful
