5'7 and 106lbs down...

I love that you are going for the goal of being healthy; you're doing a fantastic job so far and look awesome! As far as your one pound weight gain is concerned, don't forget sodium. A little too much salt one day will often show up the next day. When my doctor first put me on a low sodium diet, I lost five pounds in one week as I was no longer retaining water. Just a thought.

Keep up the good work!

I've never even considered sodium! That could be it Mands! I love you sooo much and you look amazing. I'm so happy to be the one running next to you thru your journey!!! You inspire so many people with your story!!

You look fantastic!!!!!!

Congratulations that's really wonderful. You are stunning, before and after.

I'm 5'7" also and I think your weight loss might be stalling because you have less excess to lose, so you may want to up your calories. I know that sound counter intuitive but it really worked for me. When I stalled I upped my calories to 1300, then to 1400 when I started to stall at that number. And I would eat back your exercise calories, if you don't already. 1200 is a really low calorie level for girls our height, and as you have less excess weight your body will hang onto every lbs unless you give it the fuel it needs.

That was my experience anyway. I hope you find a system that continues to work for you and again congrats.

u look great!!

You look amazing. Congrats. As you get closer to your goal, I have heard that things slow down a bit. Upping your calorie intake a bit may make a difference. Nevertheless, you look amazing and a wonderful transformation. Keep up the great work :-)

NO WAY!!! OMG you look so hot. Keep up the good work. Awesome.

What a difference. I bet you feel as amazing as you look!

You looked hot before, but NOW .... call a fire truck, call the ambulance, owwwwww too hot !!!!

Well done !

Awesome job! I am the same height as you and I weighed 331 when I started my journey, of course I am a bit older then you as well :happy: I asked my doctor the same question and told her that I thought 165 sounded good and she agreed that 165 would be a good weight for me. I would suggest asking your doctor next time you see him/her. You are doing fantastic, keep up the great work!

Wow - you look YOUNG and BEAUTIFUL! I am also 5'7" and joined June 2010 - making my final goal a year later. I think it really depends on where you look good and feel good - and bone structure. I settled in at 142-144 lbs. Sometimes I think I want to take it down to 140 but if it happens - great - if not - great too! Over Thanksgiving I went up to 146 but have a handle on that now. I also went up a lb or two during my year of weight loss - for seemingly no reason. For me it seemed to be high sodium or higher carb days. I don't do low carb but try to keep below what MFP numbers are - and higher in protein and fiber. Anyway - don't be discouraged - just keep looking at your pics. You are AH-MAZING!

Absolutely amazing job!! You should be so proud of yourself.

WOW! You look fantastic!

Wow girl that is amazing! You are my height and right at the same starting weight! I can't wait to be under 200lbs!

CONGRATULATIONS!! GREAT WORK!!

Congrats on your amazing progress. You look very happy in your pictures. When I was your age I weighed about 125-130. It's hard to exercise daily. Sounds like you have gotten in the groove of managing emotional eating now and seeing yourself respectfully.. If I were you I would only way once a week. That is when you see a real difference in your weight if you are being consistent with your calorie consumption and exercise. Best of luck.
