Hi everyone I'm 5ft2 and nearly near my goal of 110lb (6 to go) but I would love to see others who are down to their goals or on their way to reaching their final weight. Please post your pictures so I can get some motivation :) thanks xx

  • I'm 5'4", and when I started using MFP, I weighed around 215. I've lost about 55 lbs now and have about 10 to go to the goal I initially set. I'd like to lose about 10-15 lbs more from there, but I still need to reach my original goal first. My husband is 5'5" and has lost about 70 lbs by using another calorie counting app. He started losing first, which inspired me to get in better shape, too.

    This is me at my heaviest. I would guess that I was around 230 here, but I'm not really sure. I avoided scales at all cost at that point. I'm the one on the right.

    This is my husband at his heaviest. He weighed 230 then. (Just a note: we weren't at our heaviest at the same time.)

    This is us after he started losing weight but before I started using MFP. I'd lost some weight at this point just from being on my feet at work and stuff, but I hadn't done it intentionally.

    Finally, this is us about a month ago on a trip to New Orleans. We both weigh about 160 in this picture.

    He's working on trying to get more toned now, and I'm working on losing the last bit I need to lose. I've started running and doing the strength and abs parts of Power 90, so hopefully that'll take care of the rest of what I want to accomplish. Good luck with reaching your goal, too!

    Sorry they're just head shots. I refused to have my picture taken when I was heavy (though I'm sure there are some lurking somewhere). The first is me at about 183-185; the second is at about 105. They tell me I'm about 5'2 3/4'', though I actually suspect I'm a bit shorter.

    I'm 5'2''. I started at 183 pounds, and am now at 155. I would like to get to around 130 pounds (I think)! I've gone from a 14/16 to an 8/10, depending on the brand of clothing.

    This is the photo that made me realize something HAD to change, and soon! I took a "during" photo in the exact same dress to see the difference . . ..

    And a few days ago, NEARLY 10 pounds less than the previous "during" shot...

    Also, that's a difference of about three years ^

    Thank you! It's amazing what 80 pounds will do. When I gained it, I was still pretty much a teen (about 20), and I lost it at 23, so I really had no idea what I was going to look like. I definitely did not look the same before the weight as I did after the weight! It was a bizarre transformation.

    Coincidentally, today is my one year MFP anniversary. I am 5'1, and have lost 70 pounds in total. 63 since joining, plus 7 that I lost on my own before joining. I hit my goal of 125 a couple of weeks ago. :happy:

    Here is me a year ago (around 190) :
