Hey everyone, so I've been going through the success stories of many people today and I find that it's very helpful to me if I can see the progress of women who are my height to see what I may look similar to once I hit my goal weight. If anyone would like to friend me and/or send me pictures that'd be great!

    Hey! Feel free to add me as a friend. My name is Bobbi. I am also 5'5". I also like seeing people who are my same height as it is a little easier to compare to. In January, I weighed around 210. And as of this morning, I was 155. My original goal was 148, but I think I'd like to lose a little more than that. I'd be ok with where I am, but I would be thrilled to lose than last 10-15 pounds. Here is a link to one of my more recent blog posts. At the very end, there is a picture of what I looked like back in January, compared to what I looked like last week: http://runningbobbi.blogspot.com/2012/06/utah-valley-10k.html. There is also tabs for other progress pictures on that blog.

    I have also done 30DS success story post as well as Ripped in 30: http://runningbobbi.blogspot.com/2012/06/utah-valley-10k.html

    Best wishes!

    I'm 5'5" and my goal is 25 lbs away, but I might not stop there! Feel free to add me.
    I've been here for years, but just made a new profile, so I'm all alone.

    Feel free to add me. I just started at the request of a friend. I've already lost 34lbs but I have a LOT more to lose. It was hard and now that school's started again for me, I'm sure it'll be harder but I've got to do it. I checked out your blog so far and it looks interesting. Good luck in your goals!

    BTW I'd be happy to share photos that show weight loss, I just haven't put any up here yet.

    I love this thread. I'm 5'5" and pretty new here. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. I have been 20-30 pounds too heavy for a long time now and I know this is going to be a challenge, but seeing everyone else working hard and doing well makes it more fun!

    Hi! I lost 34 lbs on MFP getting ready for my wedding and I remember wishing I had seen more pics of people who were at the same starting weight and goal weight... Good luck on your journey and feel free to friend me although I'm pregnant now so my goal is actually to gain weight but I'll be full force into losing after October 3rd when my baby girl comes! :-) Here are some of my before/afters:

    This first one is actually more like 50 lbs down (I lost some weight before MFP):

    This one is a one year difference, July 2010 versus July 2011:

    And here are my MFP official before and afters. The before picture, I accidentally cut my head off and it took all of my will not to just delete it so taking another pic was out of the question :-)... And I actually lost a few more lbs after the after pic but never took another picture:

    I guess I would fit here. :) I'm 5'5", and have lost 25lbs here at MFP, but I have been as high as 234 pregnant, and 190+ after having babies. I'm currently sitting in the 134-138 range depending on the day. I might like to get to 125-128, but my body seems pretty happy here for now. There are some pics in my profile where I was 155-163lbs, and a couple down in the 130's. Feel free to add!

    I'm 5'4". I have had 3 pregnancies...my last being twins. After delivery I weighed a whopping 220. I breastfed for three weeks and got down to 180 and hovered there for about 10 months when I finally had enough of myself. Here is my before:

    This is my current. I still have about 11lbs more I would like to lose but I have been stuck at this weight for a year and a half so I'm beginning to think that its not possible. I joined MFP back in January I believe to try and help me drop these stubborn pounds...Here's my current :

    I'm 5'6" and lost 67lbs. I've currently reset my ticker because I was in maintenance for about three months. I've been lifting heavy trying to gain muscle definition. Now it's time to lose a bit more to see the progress I've made. I have other picture in my profile. (:
