    However, I am not done yet:) I'm about half way through. I went from 246.5 to 210.4 and I still want to loose at least 30 lbs, it seems so far away! I would love to see/hear success stories from people with my height, and how they got there! I do Zumba at least three times a week, I actually eat more than I used to because I wasn't eating enough, and I drink a lot of water.

    Before:

    Right now:

    Wow you look great!!!!

    I am 5'9 1/4 and this is a side-by-side from when I was 50lbs down (from 204.8 down to 153)... I'm hoping to eventually get somewhere in the 140s

    :flowerforyou: Good luck with the rest of your journey!!!

    Wow! I'm amazed by this!! I have lots of stretch marks and have long given up on ever not having stretched, loose skin. I know it depends on the individual, but this definitely gives me hope :-)

    I'm about 5'7.5". I have actually gained some weight back but am working hard to lose it again! At my smallest, I had lost 110 pounds but everyone kept saying I looked too thin. This time around, my goal is to get really strong. Here are some pics along the way:

    Thanks for the pictures guys. I'm 5'8" and just finished my first week on MFP. It is such an inspiration seeing how you guys have changed. It really makes me feel like I can too. All I have to do is stick to it for once! (been trying to lose weight my entire life).

    I am exactly the same as the original post, realising that I didn't eat enough.

    You look like you weigh less than 210! You're doing a fantastic job! Congrats!

    Thank you! I was always heavy, even when i was wearing a size 6, i was still 185, a nutritionist once told me i just have a very muscular body. sometimes it makes me wonder too, when i see someone weighs less than i am but they wear six sizes bigger clothes

    Wow that is unreal. Do you mind sharing your height? Also I'm jealous that your stretchies went away...hopefully when I reach the 120/130's mine won't be so damn noticeable.

    Any success stories on how to avoid that hanging skin after loosing so much weight??

    Afraid not.

    Here's what my belly used to look like (granted, I was 16 in this pic but it was pretty flat before birthing 3 kids)
    01_age_16-131x300.jpg

    Me and my stretched out belly from pregnancy (237 pounds):
    07_preggo_3.jpeg

    Me IN CLOTHES now (136 pounds):
    medifast_after-225x300.jpg

    And what's leftover of my belly when the clothes come off (NASTY!!!!):
    10_front_down.jpg
    17_front_bent_over.jpg

    As you can see, there really is no hope for this belly. I could lose another 20 pounds and be a stick-woman at 115 pounds and I would still be stuck with this skin.

    My Tummy Tuck is scheduled for March 1. If you are interested in following my tummy tuck blog, you can find it here: http://mommystummytuck.com

    HOLY COW! How in the world did that happen? I wish my skin would have bounced back like that. You're very lucky!!
