    I decided to just go cold turkey and start eating clean. Today was Day One. Feeling great about this decision, but it's late at night and to prepare mentally for tomorrow, I Googled "Before/After Photos" for my height. Ended up here...then I read one of my own earlier posts in this thread and realized I have been here before! Surge of enthusiasm and confidence to see all your lovely photos and read the stories. I'm baack, baby!

    Height: 5'8.5" -- Age 52
    SW: 176.4 (yesterday morning)
    GW: 150 or less - not sure yet

    26.4 lbs HAS to be doable. What so many of you have done inspires me SO much. It seems insurmountable, but it just HAS to be possible. Thank you to all posters here.

    So I'm 5' 8" and SW 178. Based on my height I should be around 155-160 lbs. I've been to 160lbs and feel 155 would be too thin for me. Right now I just want to feel comfortable in my skin. I look forward to hearing about your journey.

    Lol - posted this as a Halloween costume success story but I’ll add it here, too, cuz I am starting to feel like Wonder Woman! (We all are - we can totally do this!)

    40 years old, 5’9” and a “smidge”
    SW: 284
    CW: 171ish (middle pic was about 184-ish, I think)
    GW: 155ish - depends on how I can change with lifting.

    Been “stuck” a bit (of my own making) cause work/travel has been crazy and my logging/tracking haven’t been precise but apparently I found my maintenance! But after this week I am back home for the foreseeable future so I will get back at it. Slow and steady wins the race and I know what I have to do!!

    Congrats!!! You look stunning

    This is an absolutely false statement. (yes, I'm just now seeing this) but this is in itself misleading. As someone who is 5'10, and used to weigh 135. I played sports and was in fantastic shape. My smallest pants size was a 10 and my rib cage was too wide to fit into a medium shirt, even though I was on the lowest end of the weight scale and had a BMI of 14. So don't spread false rumors.

    Same situation here. At my lowest 158 I was size 10 and I looked skinny and at my 222lbs I was size 14. I don't think I can get any smaller then size10.iam 5'11

    This maybe will be upsetting to some, but I hope it's a wake-up call for those who are misled: there is no such a thing as big-boned figure. Bones are the same size. Knowing and facing the problem is part of the solution for it.

    Keep calm and carry on with exercise and healthy eating! :heart:

    135lb and 5'10 isn't a BMI of 14. It's 19.4. Well within the healthy range. How many years ago were you 135lbs? There may be a "vanity sizing" situation going on. I'm 5'11, 144lbs (BMI of 20) and large framed myself, but I wear a size 6 currently. But I do have 10's from HS that still fit. That was about 20 years ago...

    I'm hoping to someday post some after photos! Your photos are inspiring! For the time being, I've posted some starting photos on my profile... I'll keep them there as they aren't super inspiring like these success photos. Feel free to friend me and check them out as I embark on this journey!

    Update: For what it's worth, I had my height remeasured and I'm actually 5'8.5" not 5'9" like I've believed for most of my adult life lol yippee!

    @jelizabeth713 I thought I was 5'8" until I was in my 20's. After that two different doctors told me I was 5'7 1/2" and I said, "OK so basically 5'8" " and they were ADAMANT that I was NOT 5'8". Ok Ok!! :lol:

    Wawou are you sure there's only 8 pounds between the 2 pictures? What program did you follow? For how long?

    No, sorry. Most of my progress pics were lost. The before pic is actually after 3 weeks and 8lbs from when I started actively trying to lose weight. The stats were in the post above, the picture just didn't post right for some reason.
