Down about 90 lbs. in 7 months or so. CICO works. The weight loss was faster because I was able to creat a negative calorie deficit. Took a while to get used to but so far so good :)

Started at 44", 7 months later dropped down to 33". Still a ways to go. 5'8" here.

One month update lol. Weight loss has been slower as I am allowing myself to eat more protein and nuts. From May 2015, starting at 240-245 lbs and measuring 50"-44"-43"; today I measure 40"-33"-36.5". I now weigh 167.5 lbs or 76 kg. My shoulders are still broad as ever. Still a ways to go! 150-160lbs for my 5 foot 8 large…

Where are all the Inverted Triangle ladies? LOL. Anyhoo, might as well share my progress (no matter how small) here. 2 weeks from last post, I am 176 lbs at 5 foot 8 (did not lose much body weight but had gained better muscle definition from lifting) Current measurements are 41"-34.5"-37". Long way to go! :D

I am 5 feet 8 inches, 37 years old, and I used to weight 235-240 lbs when I started MFP 100 days ago. All I have for comparison is my profile pic. No success posts til I get down to my target weight. I am 178.5 lbs now. Still a ways to go. Total weight loss of 56.5 lbs lost in 3 months' time. I limited my calorie intake to…

So I decided to add more weights to my regimen. I lift every other day but I do cardio everyday. Nearly 3 weeks from last post, I am now 178.5 lbs, measuring 42.5"-35.5"-37" size 14 top and size 6 hips lol. I will do my best to get down to 128 lbs. I had lost almost 60 lbs so far. Long way to go!

2 weeks later from last post. I have lost 5 lbs. I still look the same. But I lost a few inches. Current stats: Height 5 feet 8 inches. Weight 187 lbs. 44"-37"-38.5 still nearly the same waist to hip ratio pffffft. All my body fat is stored in the upper parts. My hips qualify as a size 8 while my chest and waist is a size…

Progress-ish report for my IT shape lol. I am down to 192 lbs (long way to go) and at 5'8" my measurements are now 45"-38"-39"... ugh. Still a 1" waist-hip ratio. My shoulders are looking better though. I will report again and hopefully add pics when I reach 170 lbs. I have learned to love my body shape <3

Sigh.... I know the feeling :neutral: I wear size 16/18 tops while my hips measure a size 10. Really hoping to at least even out in shape once I get to my goal weight. Good luck to us all :smile:

Thank you for sharing! You look amazing. This post just made my day. Congrats on the weight-loss :)

It doesn't get any worse than my IT measurements. I have lost 35 lbs so far. 60 more to go. My measurements started at 50"-44"-43" I am 5 foot 8 and used to weigh 235 lbs. I am Asian so I hardly had big boobs and a butt to begin with plus my face stores a lot of fat :( Now I am 200 lbs, measuring 47"-39"-40". It makes me…

Congratulations and keep up the great work! 50 lbs alone is a big difference! Imagine how much younger you'd look at 180! Best of luck! - Arianna

Thank you for sharing!!! Omg such an inspiration! You look really young for 41 even at your max-ish weight :) guess this means you'll look like a teenager when you reach you goal weight! Best wishes and congrats! - Arianna

Amazing!!!!! This is similar to my weight loss goal. Thank you for sharing your inspiring success :)

Old school Mastodon for me and bands like Arch Enemy, Meshuggah and progressive metal like Dream Theater :) I'm currently listening to Byzantine's latest album. I also grew up on alternative rock like Alice In Chains and Tool (APC too)... <3

Omg everyone is so tall! I am 5 feet 8 inches only but I am a Filipina ( technically lol) and Filipinas usually average at 5'-5'2" in height. I have an Inverted triangle body shape :( large frame with super broad shoulders slender-ish legs and no bum :D Have about 45 lbs to lose towards my normal BMI but I am looking…

Sorry to hear that. I sometimes go to the gym to join my brother when he works out and I often see groups of women like the ones you mentioned. All they do is stare at people and gossip. My bro jokingly calls them a "hunting party" as some of these women actually go to the gym to flirt. Best thing to do is ignore them. It…

In a way I am losing weight for a man BUT he happens to be my son :) my boy recently turned 18 and I realized that if I stay unhealthy I won't be around long enough to see him succeed further. His dad and I have been dating since high school and he has never once judged me for my weight. My partner is a trained 42k…

Bump indeed. I am Eurasian genetically but I am technically a Filipina. I grew up being the constant subject of jests and severe rudeness from people. I have been weighing an average of 200~235 lbs my whole adult life. People were cruel but I always ended up messing with them in retaliation lol. I am 5 feet 8 inches in…

Amazing!!! Congratulations!

I'm 5 foot 8 SW: 235 CW: 198 GW: 145 Unfortunately for me, I have a large frame (broad shoulders) and an inverted triangle body shape :( I see women heavier than me who have smaller waistlines lol. I work out 6-7 days per week. Cardio alternating with Cardio + Weight training. I do my best to burn at least 600 calories per…

Hello fellow gamer! I have been playing the Witcher 3 on my PS4 and am looking forward to playing Elder: Scrolls Online on the console (done with the PC version). I have been gaming since forever, though not as much nowadays. Best of luck with the weight-loss mission! :)

I have been big most of my life and as much as people had often ridiculed me for it, I never gave a rat's *kitten*. My longtime partner is a licensed scuba diver and a trained 42k marathoner, even that did not inspire me lol, I was always enjoying cheering him on from the sidelines. My measurements 5 feet 8 inches tall and…

At least 600-700 calories worth every day. Alternating cardio and cardio plus weight-training. Baby steps :)

I've lost only 35 lbs since I started MFP. The scale read 198 lbs this morning but I'm not celebrating just yet lol. I have this sinking feeling that tomorrow it will go back to being above 200! The struggle is real! Still a long way to go for me towards my ideal weight but we will all make it :)

I also stay between the 1000-1200 calories a day range and excercise 600 calories worth each day and I do not eat those calories back. Just my two cents OP, what I would do when there doesn't seem to be a change in my weight is that I make sure to weigh all my food and to stick to eating vegetables and lean meats. Good…

Thank you so much for posting this. :) It makes me aghast as to why there are still so many weight-loss myths out there and that so many people still believe them.

Gorgeous!!!! Truly inspiring :) I always look to this section for motivation whenever I feel saddened by my weightloss journey and your post helped remind me that it CAN be done! Thank you for sharing.

So agree with the buying fish and chicken in bulk!!!! I do invest in a good set of spices that will help zest up the meals. Frozen veggies are well and good if you can tolerate them not being fresh. Congrats btw on quitting smoking. I used to smoke for 27 years, it truly was worth getting rid of that terrible habit. :)

My goodness your beautiful smile is contagious!! Thank you for the amazing post, I can so relate to it on so many levels! I am so inspired by your journey. I'm still trying to lose my last 60 lbs, slowly but surely and your story has indeed motivated me :)
