I'm about 5 feet 7 and 3/4" so I say 5'8"!! :) I started at 200 in January 2015 and as of this morning (July 26, 2016) I am 158.2 which is the lowest I've been in about 5 years!! 41.8 lbs gone! I am aiming for the 145-ish range, then see how I like it there.

Thanks Rose!

I'll take 1-2 cup sizes from you ;) ....I could use a little extra!

Thanks!!! It's definitely a struggle, but every time I hit a goal it so exciting and motivating!! :)

Wow great work! You looked so toned and sporty!! It's always great to see posts from friends! :)

I'm not! My "lowest" weight in the past 3years is still in the overweight range. :/ I'm just trying to get into the normal/healthy range!!

Thanks everyone!!

OP, I added you! We're about the same stats!

THANKS! :)

.... I guess that is sort of scale related. Oh well! :#

I FINALLY WEIGH LESS THAN MY BOYFRIEND!! He's about 3 inches taller than me... and a man, but I was always the heavier one. NOT ANYMORE!! :)

What job requires you to be slim?

Some older creepy guy told me: "You look really hot in your workout clothes" Ummmm, creepy. But THANKS!!

Please reconsider a healthier goal! 50-60 lbs in 2 1/2 months is super unhealthy/impossible

Ink looks fine. No difference in fading then rest of tattoo. Slightly 3D where the stretch marks are but no one has ever noticed. Depending on what design you get, the slightly 3D look might work to your advantage! :smiley:

I've got tattoos over some of mine the tattoo artist said it's fine as long as they're older and healed. I don't think there was any difference in pain tattooing over them versus regular skin maybe slightly more sensitive.

Welcome!! You can change your username!! Ha Congrats on the new baby!

Added. I'm new too!

26 You?

Perfect! I'll try this!

I LOVE hiking. I try to go as much as I can when the weather is nice but cold and rainy force me to go to the gym.

I do have a lot of back problems/back injuries in the past so maybe that is causing some of it. I also like to go backwards on the elliptical because it feels cool, so maybe I'll try that next time they go numb. :)

I don't think my shoes are too tight, I slide them on and off without untying them so I feel like they are pretty average/loose. I guess I could ask a trainer at the gym, but I would feel silly them watching me do the elliptical in slow motion to watch my positioning. :D

I am just trying to get in shape in general but weddings are great motivation. I'm a wedding guest in April A wedding guest in May Then a bridesmaid in June I'm at the age where all of my friends/coworkers are getting married, so lots of weddings to go to. ......who knows if/when I'll ever get married!! :D

I got a foot tattoo and it was pretty sore and swollen for about two days I avoided doing anything leg/ foot related at the gym. You're also not going to want to put on socks and shoes to work out so unless you can do something barefoot. Maybe do arms/abs/core stuff for a few days while the foot heals. PS-what ya getting?…

YAY for all these 5'8" ladies! I'm 5'8" and I've been everywhere from 115-202. At 115 I was horribly sick. I don't think someone 5'8" could be a healthy 115 unless they were basically 0% body fat. :/ I am aiming for the 150 area, currently 179-180ish I'm new to this app, so hello everyone!!
