    This is just the beginning I still have much to go, but want to encourage anyone looking. don't ever give up on yourself. If I can do it so can you. change your mind set from i am going to try, or i hope i can do this, this time. to i'm going to succeed, i'm determined to win, I CAN DO THIS! you know why? you were made to succeed. so here goes some pictures. I started in Dec. 2011. 3 months later, look what a difference. also i never thought i looked like that. until now i can truly see what i looked like.

    ^ 170 last week

    wow good job!!! you must be tall if you looking that lean at 170...

    im 5'9 1/2 / 5'10 but I havent lost more than 5 pounds in almost 2 years- but ive dropped about 4 sizes and countless inches- im pretty sure i have a lower bf% than I realise- esp for someone, like you say, at this ungodly weight


    I don't think she meant that you are at an "ungodly weight", as you said! I am also 5'10", and my goal weight is exactly where you are - 170. You are an inspiration!!! You look smokin' hot!!!! I have a friend who is 5'10", 170 lbs, and a size 8. Her body is STUNNING. I think that shorter girls (not that being shorter is a bad thing at all) sometimes don't realize that when you are this tall, you NEED to weigh more!! We have larger (longer) bones, muscles, etc. If you put a girl who is 5'2", 170lbs next to you, she would look completely different!

    Again - you look BEYOND gorgeous!!!!!! EXCELLENT WORK!!!! I can't wait to get down to the 170's!!!
    (and by the way, although you do look completely different (body-wise) in the before and after, you still look like the same gorgeous, fun-loving woman in all of the photos!!!!!) :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Wow, I think I'm going to come back to this post a lot. You'e all done amazingly. I used to go Slimming World and all the people that had reached their goal at my class kept having to go back in the system because they never kept it up but it looks like you've all managed to keep it off. Properly have maintained. It was so demotivating to see such unhappy people who had leant how to lose the weight but not how to keep it off but you guys show how very possible it is just by having a healthy life.

    These pictures are absolutely fantastic!! I looooove looking at before & afters, it's such amazing motivation! I lovehow there are so many men on here too, sometimes us women caught up in our own efforts to look good forget that men like to look good too! I love how some of the weight loss has taken years off some of you, especially the men! Great job everyone!
