Thank you for the pictures and your goal weight! I'm the same height lol.. but thank you! Love the difference in your face! Now I can't wait to get to that first 50 lol Thanks yet again!

No problem! I was *shocked* by the difference after the first 40 or 50 pounds. I didn't really think anything of it until I saw those pics side by side. Good luck!!

AbberBabber, you look great!
I'm starting at 356 but have only dropped 20 but I do notice a giant difference! Okay maybe not giant but good enough!

I'm 5' 5.5" and I started at 343, although my highest was 348. My current pic is at 273, and you can see some of the earlier pics in my profile...there is a big difference in my face, and I now have collar bones I haven't seen in years! If my calves weren't so damn big, I could officially say I've gone from a size 24 (tight) to a size 18 (tight) in jeans.

My goal is set at 150, but I will do a cartwheel when I get under 200 for the first time in my working memory.

That's kind of what I'm hoping for as well.. It doesn't have to be a big difference. Actually, I could care less if anyone else even notices LOL. I just don't want to be one of those people who lose 50lbs and can't tell at all.. I've lost about 20 so I guess I'll find out after 30 more pounds.

The funny thing is....all my coworkers noticed way before I did :laugh: They're like "OMG You look amazing!!!" and I'm all "Whatchu talkin' 'bout???"

I started at 485 a year ago. I went to that website and found that they don't have any women of my size range so I decided to add myself to the database so that other women that are tall and heavy can see... I'm always open for friends. I've lost 50+ lbs in the last year, and 24 since starting with MFP.

I started at 332, and am now at 282. I'm 5"6. I actually just posted my pics yesterday, and here's the link:

What did you do to lose 75 pounds!?! haha sorry but thats about how much I want to lose what are you doing !?

... I still wear the same clothes I did when I weighed 50 pounds more than now. It's convenient but sucks. You can see a lot of change to my figure but I haven't really changed that much regarding clothes. Coworkers are pestering me about it cuz I keep changing but I see the scale and the tape measure and just go WTF

It took me about 50lbs before my clothes started getting too loose, and about 60 before I knew I HAD to get a smaller size. Only 15 more and I'm now almost down 2 more sizes, 20s are perfect-to-loose and 18s are too tight in my calves. It's all about the way they make clothes for big women. I had been in a size 24 (average) since I started gaining at 260 all the way up to 348. They make the clothes so that we stay in the same size longer...it's not the same as the sizes get smaller. Keep on trucking, and you'll get there! I cried when I got into a regular size XL workout clothes.

I cant get my pictures to post

i weigh around 330 and i can't seem to stay motivated with the exercise. what were some of the things you ladies or gents did to workout at first, what calories did you start at? i just need help i am scared too. yikes advice please. thanks.

I started at 330 and have lost about 7 pounds in the last 3 weeks by walking, doing wii boxing and trying to be better with what I eat. I still eat what I want most of the time, I just try to keep in mind the quality of the food and I honestly felt 100 times better after just a couple of days. I noticed my stomach didn't hurt anymore (didn't even notice it hurt all the time until it was gone!!) and I just feel happier all the time. Honestly, the only exercising I do is longish walks (60-80 mins) at not too fast a speed (I usually estimate them at about 2.5 mph) and wii boxing (fantastic workout for your arms!). I've started trying to jog a tiny bit on my walks, but in super short spurts, maybe 30 - 60 seconds at a time. I have bad knees and want to build up their strength.

Yes there are days where I absolutely don't want to leave the house but I know that I always feel so much better after a walk, even when I start out grumpy and not wanting to move!! Good luck! If I can do it so can you!

I'm adding all of you! It's so nice to come across a thread full of people who are facing/have faced the same challenges! Keep up the great work ladies!
