I am 5'5", 56 years old and have lost (so far) 60 lbs. My starting weight in 2012 was 219 .. I am now 158. Size wise I was into 15/16 and now wear 8/10 (with an occasional size 6
That might seem like a long time for 60 lbs but weight loss wasn't my motivator when I started being more active, mobility was! I was diagnosed with a degenerative muscle disease called Facioscapularhumeral (FSH) muscular dystrophy and I wanted to be more active so I would not be in a wheelchair like my mom at 72 .. the weight loss was a bonus! When I started I could not stand on one foot to take my sock off nor reach overhead to get something off of a top shelf ... I am now doing 5K runs (and not tripping). Last summer when I hit a plateau at 181 I realized I was stronger, had more energy and could do things I had done for a long long time, my focus changed and I wanted to continue 'downsizing' so I started doing the 5:2 intermittent fasting (Dr. Mosley) and have been steadily and consistently losing ever since. I hope my story and photos help encourage you. Good luck!!

Not to be a downer and all, but you do know that 110 lbs is underweight for someone 5'6" (BMI 17.8) by about 5 lbs. Be careful.6 -

Yup, I've been keeping an eye on my BMI and I'm aware it's technically underweight but I have a pretty healthy lifestyle, have no health problems like periods stopping and I don't think I look thin or bony or anything4 -
I'm 5'5" and 25 years old. I started out at 232 and have lost just under 40lbs since February. This is just my before and during...I would still like to lose another 30-40lbs, but I'm taking it slow and trying to be healthy about it.
