Women 5'4 - 5"5 with results + Pictures

It's so crazy to me how people carry weight so differently! I posted my pictures a few pages back, hoping to post again soon, but it still just blows my mind! (Also sometimes makes it hard to stay positive when looking for people similar to you but meh gotta stay on the bright side)

Keep up the good work everyone!

I'm 5' 4"...
Here's me from 233lbs to 194lbs... and still losing!!!

We have the same starting weight and same height! I am currently at 204...I hope I look that great in 10 more pounds!!! Fabulous job! What is your goal?

Thank you so much

My goal right now is 170 lbs (total loss of 64 lbs), but I'm not stuck on that number and will definitely reevaluate as I go. I am very muscular (I have 69.4 lbs of skeletal muscle mass, which is 32% of my weight and considered in the "high" range) and I'm ok with that.. but I realized a long time ago that even when I'm wearing the same size clothes as someone the same physical size as me, I will be 20ish lbs heavier than them usually, due to my muscular build.

I'm wearing a size 12 jeans now and hope to be in an 8 or so when I get to my goal...

I thought it was just me!!! I'm currently at 195 and wear a size 12. NO ONE believes I weigh that much. My goal weight is higher than a normal BMI because I've always weighed over a "normal" BMI. Even in high school I weighed 175-ish and was a size 6/8. I'm okay with being "heavier" as long as I like how I look.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Amazing results to date, you look great!! How long did it take to lose the 35lbs and anything specific you attribute your success to?

Thank you!! It took me about a year to lose that 35 lbs and then I maintained for about a year before starting to lose again. I made a lot of little changes one at a time, and though it took longer, I think it helped to make it a maintainable loss. In that year I stopped drinking soda, learned how to cook, started planning and prepping meals ahead of time, and started running. But I made those changes slowly, not all at once. I only used MFP on and off to spot check how many calories I was consuming. Using MFP for this last bit has been much faster, I'm down 14 lbs since mid-February. Feel free to message or friend me if you have other questions!

Wow! I am bookmarking this thread... I'm only a few months into my weightloss journey, My family reckon I have lost a few stone since christmas but I am not so sure, have been losing 1-2lbs per week since I started weighing myself. My first weigh I was 278lbs and last weigh in I was at 270lbs not weighed myself for 2 weeks due to dental pain but looking forward to weighing myself this Saturday to see Well done to everyone so motivating and inspiring looking through this thread and I cannot wait to add my own success story in but I have a long way to go first
