Any women 5'4" - 5'7" who have lost 40 pounds?

I just came back to this site today after being gone for almost 2 years. I think I've maintained fairly well, but I'd like to get back into a healthy routine and lose a few more pounds while I'm at it. Not sure how to post a picture on here, but I'm 5'8" and started at 176 and I dropped down to 144 (my lowest). Now I'm somewhere in the low 150's.

Anyway, not quite 40lbs, but close! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Some pics are in my profile!

I almost 5'7 I started out at 245 I am now 187. I have 42 pounds to go! My goal is 145.[

When is MFP going to add a like button!!! So many great post here.

I'm 5'8. I'm currently at 64 pounds lost form my highest weight.

ETA: The left side of my profile pic is from when I was close to my highest weight (I'd guess I was between 220-240 in the pic, 240 being my highest weight), while the right is a somewhat current picture. I've lost 7-10 pounds since taking that picture.

Thanks for this thread, because 40 pounds is my goal too. I'm 5'7" and have lost 22 pounds so far. I am feeling so good that I can actually imagine losing that 40 pounds! What has been working for me is thinking of each week as a unit.

I'm 5'4" and was about 186 this time last year. These collages are about a month old now, and as of this morning I am down another 8 pounds, bringing me to 136. I'll have new pics in a couple weeks.

You're looking awesome!! I'm 5'4" and we're the same body shape so it's so exciting to see this sorta progress.

I started at 207 (probably was heavier, just weighed myself after a few weeks of eating right), now I'm at 170 and I hope to be 145 and then work my way down to 135ish for health purposes.

You can do it, just takes some heart

amazing! you look so much younger... and so happy!

I'm hoping it shows... The first pic was me at around 200#... no, I was not pregnant. The last is me at about 160#. I simply eat less and move more. That's it. I have maintained for over a year now bouncing between 160-165, and do have roughly 15 pounds that I would like to be free of. I'm 5'3"ish.

Started on here at 260lbs now 211. I have been on my journey for 14months. But have maintained for most of this year to give my body a little rest but back on track

I'm 5'4", down 65 pounds since March 2018

I'm 5'4 ( maybe 5'5 on a good day!) and started at 178. I've lost about 34 lbs. my goal is 40. Here is my before and after....

You look incredible, especially your quads. I'm guessing you lifted heavy? Would you mind sharing your routine?

F/43/5'4.5" [165 > 133 = 32 lbs lost] (6 months)

I sometimes wish I had before pictures but I refused to have any pictures taken of me when I was around my heaviest! I would break into tears if I saw myself. I still don’t think I could handle it. On January 5th of this year (2019) I weighed 247.5 and I’m 5’7” which put me into the morbidly obese BMI category! 😱😩😪 I’m not sure if it was my heaviest but it was when I could face the scale. I then started Keto and Intermittent fasting like my doctor told me to do years before but I was stubborn and scared. I’m 81 pounds down today and am regretting I didn’t start earlier so I didn’t get that heavy. Btw I’ve been on MyFitnessPal for 6 years and was eating great according to nutritionists and exercising fat more than the average person and was always told how little I would weigh in 5 weeks but gained 60 pounds in that time frame! 😡🤬 So here are my Stats:
Starting wt MyFitnessPal 2013: 191
Starting New Nutrition (LCHF) 2019: 247.5
Current weight: 166.5 😊
Goal weight: 140 😃
