I am not 5'11 but I am 5'8 1/2... I've been up and down with the same 8 lbs, but this is what 8 lbs loss looked like... I think that I was toning muscle just as much as I was burning fat because now I can feel muscles in places that I had no idea were there (ABS, THIGHS, ETC...) I hope that this picture serves as proof…

well except for i'm 5'8.5 .. not 6'1....

I couldnt see it on my PC at work. I had to check it out on my phone. YOU'VE MADE AWESOME PROGRESS!!! I am so happy for you! My goal is to lose about 130 lbs... I've got a LOOOOONG way to go but I know that I can get there!!! Thanks for the inspirational photos! :-)

WOW!!! GREAT WORK!!! I can't wait to lose that muh weight! These photos truly are inspirational :-)

Oh what a difference 18 lbs makes! I am happy for you! I can't wait to start dropping those lbs...

THANK YOU @MichaelGFox :-)

8 lbs down... 112 TO GO...

This is me with only an 8 lb difference... I have gained it back since taking this picture and I am working my buns off to get em off, but it's a slow and difficult process... I understand how you feel completely... The only advice that I can provide is think of how you life could change for the better and for the worse. I…

I have been EXTREMELY discouraged because I keep losing and gaining the SAME 8 lbs (according to my scale)... And 8 LBS!? That's it? UGH! But then I put together this pic a couple of months ago and it made me see hwo much an 8 lb difference can make... I hope that this inspires you in some way. I know I sure could use the…

According to my scale this was only an 8 lb difference. I can't wait to see what I'll look like 50 lbs from now :-)

I hope that this pic shows! This is just 8 lbs gone... Must have been all belly...LOL! I have recently been dealing with this yoyo thing with my weightloss but I am trying to remain encouraged and positive... I am 5'8.5 and 300. I've got a LONG way to go but it's progress nevertheless... Any helpful tips or tricks to…

I am 5'8.5 and at my highest weighed 304. My lowest since starting using MFP was 292(when i was consistent with exercise and diet for 2 weeks)... 8 lbs in 2 weeks is pretty impressive if you ask me... I too have been messing up my own progress by eating healthy some days and eating like Porky the Pig the next... I am using…

This is AWESOME!!! I am so happy for you and your success... Not only is the weight loss a great accomplishment, but the fact that you were about to kick your nicotine addiction is a triumph in itself. Keep up the awesome work! :glasses:

I am 5' 8.5 and I've gone from a TIGHT 24 To a comfortable 18/20. I've got a long ways to go but it's progress nevertheless.

:flowerforyou: WELCOME BACK! You can start over again and again and again... As long as IF you slip, you come back and try to make better choices. Use everyday as an opportunity to move forward. I am starting over again too! I will add you for some extra support!

I started feeling more confident when I noticed that certain clothes looked better on me. When my old clothes started looking baggy, it put a little pep in my step. I actually started wearing DRESSES this summer. Prior to this summer, I only work a dress to my father's wedding in 97 and my prom. And if I did wear a dress,…

The great thing is that you realize that a support system, like the people on MFP, is beneficial to you on your weightloss journey. I was never skinny. I looked my best when I was 180lbs, pre baby. My advice would be to reach out to your MFP friends and post your thoughts frequently. LOG EVERYTHING... Even the cheats (so…

So In other words, don't worry about the scale.... I am REALLY trying not to because the scale has become so discouraging... I went down 8 lbs... Gained it all back... But my body still looks like it's slimming down... The muscles in my thighs are HUGE (You can't tell by looking at them because there's still a lot of fat…

Thank you guys so much :heart:

Wow you guys!!! I didnt know that this photo would reach so many people. I am so glad that I have everyone for encouragement and can share my accomplishments with everyone... I will take everyones advice and invest in a new scale :laugh: . One that shows muscle mass and body fat percentage or something... I think that I…

Wow!!! This is AWESOME!! I cannot wait to lose 100 pounds... This is definitely motivation for me to keep on trying :-)

Goodness everyone! Im too emotional for this:cry: LOL! Thank you all for your kind words! I was really in the dumps about my journey! I am so glad that I can count on the MFP community to help me with encouragement and I will do my all to return the motivation. We have to stick together to stay around :bigsmile:

Thank you so much!!! I am surprised too!!! I have muscles in places that I idn't lnow muscles could live lol

:noway: : WOW!! Awesome work!!! I cannot wait to lose weight and have it show so wonderfully! Anyone looking for any additional motivation and encouragement, feel free to add me and I will be as much encouragement to you as I know how to be. :smile:

Thank you so much! I will support and motivate you in any way that I can! I purposely made my food diary viewable by my friends so that I would be more encouraged to make the right food choices... I have been slipping up for the past week or so and have not been able to stay under my calorie goal... How embarassing is it…

WOW!!! AWESOME PROGRESS!!!! I cannot wait to start losing weight like thi!!! 5 lbs down, 110 to go!
