I would be so grateful if you could share your photos with me. I am really needing some motivation these past few days.

    I wish I had taken pics but I was way too embarrased! I am 5'6" and started at 235, now I'm at ~191 (depending on the day...or the moment!) Still going down I hope. My short term goal is 170 and I'll reassess from there. I have a lot of lean mass so I'll never be tiny by any means! I'd recommend getting your body fat tested -- it opened my eyes up as to what's really going on in my body and how what I'm doing food and exercise-wise is affecting it! Oh and measure too!! Measuring for me is always way more encouraging than the stupid scale who I argue with constantly ;-) Good luck!

    I started at 240, I am 5ft 6 and my goal is 150. That would be a total loss of 90lbs. I started the day after xmas 2011. I have lost about 31lbs so far. This site is amazing, I am totally addicted.

    You have been such a great friend to have. I really appreciate sharing with you. Thank you so much for giving me support and being so kind :)

    I'm 5'6", started around 210 though. It honestly might have been higher though. I was too afraid to weigh myself until I'd lost a bit.

    I have started again back at 280 my short term goal is to get back to the 250 I was before health issue nasty medication and steriods took over. Today I am learning the tools to be able to eat properly even during days when I am to sick to even think of eating versus days I am feeling a little better and starving.

    Lets do this thing..I hear all my clothes calling...

    I'm just over 5' 6" tall, the before picture is me at about 215lbs (in my riding pants, probably not the most flattering look lol!), and the after is my current weight which is 140lbs. Hang in there! :)

    I'm 5'6" and started at 228 pounds, but now as I write this I'm sitting at 144 pounds. My profile pic today is just a facial split after I'd lost 82 pounds. I have a few more to go but I'd really like to tone up a lot.

    I'm 5'5 and started at 224 and have only lost a few pounds, so no pics yet. It would be great for me to see some pictures also!

    LOL Wow, the title of this thread was oddly specific. :)

    I started out at 237 and once upon a time, I got down to 154. I think I have a large frame though because it was absolute torture to lose and then maintain. I didn't get down that low using the healthiest way, but it was only to initially get into the military quicker because the place I worked at was laying people off like crazy and I knew the owners didn't think much of me. After that, I vowed I would never do it again unless my career depended on it (and I can't imagine how this would ever happen).

    Strangely enough, I gained back the last several pounds I'd lost using the unhealthy way (shocker, right?). So, I'm here again. Not that I mind talking to all you awesome peeps. ^o~

    But alas, I have no pics. :(

    I'm 5'5" and my highest weight was 228 a couple of years ago. I started MFP last Jan at 214 and got to 189 by last fall, but fell off the wagon for a few months. I restarted Jan. 2 at 195 and I'm currently 182. I plan on taking some "during" pics in about a week. Any of you are welcome to add me for support!
