    I am 5"7, 155.5, started out at 165 and a tight size 12, now at a comfortable 10, but a long way to go!!! Thank you to everyone for posting in here, I feel like I have found my people! You guys are so inspiring!

    it really goes to show that weight is just a number...I'm also 5"7 and at 165 i was an 8! at 175 i'm a true 10 and 185 is a 12, but can squeeze into some 10's.
    CRAZY!

    I'm 5'8" and started as a tight size 12 weighing 190 lbs. Over the last 7.5 months, I've lost 45 lbs and am now a comfortable size 6. Basically I tracked EVERYTHING I ate, learned to eat cleaner, cut out pop and fast food, and now enjoy my favorite foods (which happen to be not so great for you) in moderation instead of multiple times a week. I also work out 6-7 days/week either on the elliptical, doing workout videos (I love 30 Day Shred & am a Beachbody coach), doing Zumba, playing tennis, and running. I love to switch things up so I don't get bored! I honestly never thought eating right and exercising would become a lifestyle for me, but it definitely has - I love it!

    When I started my journey ..... hmmm... almost 4 years ago, I was a snug size 14.... probably more like a 16. I started to work-out with a group of friends. The 5 of us were paying for a professional trainer and he worked us.... HARD! Of course, he included a meal plan that I followed religiously for 6 weeks. The meal plan was so strict that I stopped losing weight at the 3 week mark. I did a little research....changed up some things.....Six months later, I was a snug size 10. The difference was so noticeable that people were flocking to me... to touch the hem of my garment to see if they too could lose the weight.

    I have continued my healthy habits and I am now a size 4... sometimes a 6... and other times...eh-hem... even a size 2, depending on the designer. My goal is to be a size 2, hence my user name. The change has come over the span of 3.5 years. It is the fierce determination to LOVE the new you that will create a new body. You have to be a size 6 in your mind before you see it in the mirror! In my mind, I Am a size 2.... and so I act like a size 2. What would a size 2 Rikki do? Mind over matter? Sometimes you need the mind to move the matter!

    And that is how it's done, ladies and gentlemen.

    Very exciting! I'm 5'6" and started at 198 and a tight 16. Always thought I probably wouldn't go lower than a size 12, but now I'm kinda thinking it's a possibility..just looking forward right now to getting comfortably in a 14, but don't want to get stuck there.

    Bump for inspiration:
    started at size 16shirt/18 pants...lost close to 30 lbs and I am still in a size 16shirt/18 pants (though in some shirts I can get down to a size 14 depending on the tightness around the lower belly)....go figure!!!
