Height: 5'0''
Starting weight: 161.3 lbs
Current weight: 129.9 lbs
Lost: 31.4 lbs

I was a size 12 (probably even toying with size 14 although I never bought any). Now I am size 6! Getting close to my goal weight (120lbs) which should put me back into those size 4s! I will post pics when I get there!

VERY HAPPY!:smile:

    wow that is awesome - you are motivating me to keep doing what I am doing and to really use this site. I sent you a friend request, looking for girlfriends to help me stay motivated.

    Congratulations!

    For all you asking for secrets-there isn't one! Log your food, move your body, drink your water. Burn more calories than you consume but fuel your body so it can perform. There ya' go!

    You will find that you start eating more quality calories because you get more food than when you eat junk food. I still eat whatever I want in moderation though. Learn your triggers-if you can't eat just one serving of girl scout cookies-don't leave them where you can get to them (I made my husband HIDE ours and I eat one serving a night). If chips are your downfall, don't have them in the house.

    Way to go! That's awesome! I am currently in a size 12 and would like to get down to an 8. I've lost 68 lbs so far, but probably have about another 25 to go before I'll get there. Any tips?

    I like how you say "quality" calories!!! That is the key. I also give in to some ice cream and chips but make sure all my other calories are "quality".....Congrats on your SIZE 6!!!!

    I'm 5'0 and size 8-10 for years:( I would love to get down to 6. My dream come true would be size 4..long ways to go before i get there. Currently 137-138lb.

    I would love to see past and current pics. I am the same height and weigh just a little less than you when you started. It would be motivating to see how much difference 30lbs makes. Keep up the good work!

    Moodyc82--the difference in jeans size could be due to different brands but also everyone carries weight differently. Two people could be the same weight and be different sizes for various reasons. I do find a lot of variation between brands, though.

    Kristin- Everyone I talk to can't believe i'm actually a size 9/10. I guess I hide my weight well?? I buy my jeans at express. But I do have a pair of size 5's that fit so go figure :(

    Congrats!!! Can't wait to see pics.

    I started Jan. 2nd at 176. I'm 5'4" and now I'm 161. Stuck on a plateau for the last 2 weeks, but hoping to break it this week. Final goal weight is 125.
