i think there must be a lot of variations in pants sizes by weight and height, because I have lost 23 lbs and I am feeling pretty good currently (Size 14 probably), and my goal is probably only a 10/12 since that is the smallest I have ever been. I don't know that I would look good at a size 6. I am tall though, 5'9'', so that probably factors in somehow. Great job everyone! You all are amazing!

I was size 16 in the wedding dress, the women at the shop told me I was lucky if I could find a dress because my measurements were all over the place..it really hurt my feelings...now I wanna go show her I can fit into a 8 and kick her a**

Not sure this is a photo of the heaviest I was at, but it's the only full length photo from back then that I could locate. Early 2010, size 18/20

Taken this morning, 7/19/12. size 8/10.

How it happened... slowly. I started walking for half an hour 3 days a week and being more aware of what I was eating.

I'm now weight training for an hour 4-5 times a week, and getting an hour of solid cardio in 5-6 days a week. i have completely altered the way I eat (appx 1200-1500 cals a day, based on how much weight I'm lifting), no pasta, little wheat, heavy veggies.

Train Hard. Eat Clean.

Make the IMG lowercase on both sides and your pictures should come up

Thanks so much!!!

Great topic and inspiration. I'm a 16/18 atm and even at my best (148 lbs) upon my academy graduation 20 years ago, I was a 10/12. Seeing the photos give me hope. I've been working on my weight loss through cleaned up eating habits and increased exercise (meaning I actually do that now). I walk or do circuit training (bootcamp) 5-6 days a week. Since starting again, I've lost around 8 lbs, but even more importantly, I can see the change in the looser fit of my clothes and in the mirror. After reading the previous posts, I have even more motivation to continue.

Love this thread. Inspiring!

I'm 5'8'' and currently around a size 16. This thread has definitely given me some motivation, which was much needed after the week from hell I have had.

I was debating whether or not to walk home from work tomorrow, but now I definitely will. :happy:

Just wanted to post again for the others that posted after my last one - you all look AMAZING! Such inspirations from the ones that have lost a pound so far - to the ones that have lost half their starting weight or more! Such beautiful women!

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!

My Afters:

You look amazing, and I love that bathing suit. Way to go!
