I am 5'8 (or close enough for gov't work) and currently 185. I lost quite a bit here before really getting into the philosophy of heavy lifty and eating A LOT of food... Had my own medical issues that were quite devastating and left me unable to work out for quite a while.... I still won't be able to do heavy lifting0

This post is very inspiring!

SW 190
GW 170
At 24 years old I hit my heaviest of 195. Lost 20ish pounds SO QUICKLY AND EASILY!!! Damn I wish we could stay 25 forever. I had NO idea then! I maintained 170-175 for many years... Been slowly gaining over last couple years to being almost back to my heaviest. Im 38 now. Felt awesome and looked pretty good at 160, during a deployment at 29yo, but right now I'm having a hard time fathoming getting that low again. 140s? Sounds completely impossible. Thanks for the inspiring pics!
I hope to post some of my own soon. I have a nutritionist who is encouraging me not to worry so much about calorie counting as on mindfulness and less simple carbs. Increasing protein and good fat and cutting down on the sugar.2 -
Wow everyone looks great. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Need to loose weight , and how do I add friends?0

I got down to 152 and then had three very stressful weeks where I was overeating by 500 calories a day and went up to 156. Five days ago I realized that I either had to give up or recommit. I recommited and it was super hard (harder than the first week I started on this program) but now I'm down to 154 again. I know these seem like small numbers but I know from past experience that the range between 150 and 156 is when I have to work the hardest and watch each pound.4

Awesome thread! I'm between 5"8 & 5"9 and my goal weight is 150. I'm at 169 now. But a lot of my friends think I'm crazy for wanting to lose 20 more pounds. They don't see what I see, under the clothes. Thanks for the validation!!!8

I haven't gotten to goal, but I did notice that I needed to cut back from what MFP recommended in order to lose.

My calories are set at 1290 now to lose 2lb/wk. I religiously weigh and record everything. I workout 6 days per week. But I have to stick to 1200 to lose about 1 lb/wk. So I eat less than MFP suggests and do not eat back exercise calories and don't lose as much as they say. You may just need to cut back and see if it helps.

Idk if you are breast feeding or not. I am so at 8 months I was eating 1950 calls and I loss about .6 lbs a week and have since she is 3 months old when I started. I keep lowering my caps down by 50 but I will not be eating less then 1700 ever. If your working out there is no reason to eat 1200 cake a day you willl just starve. And if u are breast feeding you will dry up eating that little

eat 1200 cake a day
Funny slip.
I've heard other people say this--so I tried to eat more--1400 or 1500 cal/day and I absolutely maintained. At 1290 (MFPs rec.) I lose a little less than a lb/week but it takes 1200 to lose 1 lb. I'm not starving and sometimes I'm searching for stuff to eat at the end of the day to get it up to 1200 even though I'm not hungry. I think everyone is different. I have more energy now than I ever had, even when I was a teen, thanks to the exercising. I feel great.
I agree that breastfeeding would def. require a higher intake.1 -

Here's my favourite (as in, WORST!) before shot:
I need to do a more recent (and better!) after shot - but this one is from three months ago, I was 154lbs (I'm 149lb now). I'm 5'10". My GW is 140lbs, but I am very small framed (my wrists are tiny). My start weight was 211lbs.
This was me at 165lbs:
