I lost 67 lbs. I went from a 40DDD (which in reality probably should have been a cup size or two higher) to a 34DD/DDD. So the cup size doesn't look like it went down, but in reality it did by the way measurements work. I got fitted after the first 40 lbs. and then again recently when they started to feel loose again.

Some friend, that's so rude! I'm 5'2", well maybe closer to 5'1". I started at 204 and am down to 136 now. MFP and walking with me fitbit helped me get there. Good luck on your journey! Feel free to add me.

I'm not quite 5'2". I started out at 204 with a goal of 150. I met that and am at 139 now. My new current goal is 132. After that I might go for 128, but don't want to go any lower than that. I'd like my tummy to be smaller, but I don't know if that's going to happen since I've had 4 kids and lost 65 lbs, a good amount of…

I have been taking it for not quite a year now. It suppressed my appetite in the beginning to the point where I could have been happy eating hardly anything. I dropped my first 30 lbs. quickly due to that. The appetite suppressing stopped after the first four months or so. I've been able to drop another 35 lbs. The…

I'm 5'1", 139 lbs. and wearing a 5/6 in jeans now (29 in Silvers, my new favorites, if that means anything to anyone). I started at 204 in a tight 18. Sizes really vary widely by brand though too.
-
Didn't you ask this already? I'm 5'1ish and weigh 140. I'm wearing a snug 5/6 in jeans/pants now, medium tops.
-
I'm down about 8 sizes. I got rid of all my biggest sizes (14/16/18) this spring, had a garage sale and what didn't sell I donated. I was going to hold on to my 10/12s for a while, but think I'll get rid of those too. I didn't get a ton of those sizes, just enough to get me through. I'm in a 5/6 right now, and I'll hold on…

I have the charge and love it. I've used it for about 6 months now and it has been a great help to my weight loss. I got it as my 20 lb. loss reward, I'm at 64 lb. loss now. :)
-
I think I was in about a 10/12 at 160-165. I carry weight in my tummy though. I'm 142 now and between a 5/6 and 7/8. Shirt size probably a large, I'm big chested, currently a medium.
-
Overall I am much happier. I feel better, have more energy and have much more motivation to get things done. People are happy for me and I get noticed more, which is nice and I feel a lot better about my appearance. It wasn't a fix all, cure everything though.
-
Yes, I'm a single mom of 4, recently moved to a small town and don't know too many people. MFP boards have been very helpful. At the beginning I was on the success stories page reading multiple times a day. It really helped.
-
I'm 5'1" currently 142, looking to get to about 128. I think that would be perfect for me, I'm also large chested (34DDD) and would like to keep my curves.
-
I'm 5'2" down 56.6 lbs. so far. I started last November at 204, now 147.4. 11 lbs. left to go for my goal a of healthy bmi, then I will see if I would like to go down another 8 lbs. or so. No desire to go below about 128 though. Pics in my profile. Feel free to add me.
-
Our stats are nearly the same. I started out last Nov at 204 and now am at 148, about 12 lbs. to go. I started dating someone about 2 months ago. He knows I've recently lost weight, enough that I needed a whole new wardrobe. But he hasn't really asked how much, and I haven't volunteered the information. I don't know, it's…
-
I'm 5'2" and my primary goal is a healthy bmi at 136. Once there I will reevaluate and possibly go to 125. I wouldn't really want to go any lower than that, I like my curves, lol. I started at 204, currently at 148.6.
-
Great job, you look wonderful!
-
Yes, I take 150 mg. twice a day. I take it only for an antidepressant, but it also significantly reduces my appetite. I dropped my first 30 lbs. very quickly because I didn't feel like eating at all. It has evened out now and my appetite is at a healthy level now. I am still losing at a more steady pace and plan to reach…
-
Yes, I still see myself as heavy. I try to keep looking at myself in the mirror every morning for a few minutes to help my brain catch up with the fact that I'm not heavy anymore, lol. Taking pictures helps too.
-
Great job! WTG!
-
I'm 5'2" on 1200 a day as well. CW 148.6, GW 136.4 (maybe 125 after that, I like my curves so we'll see), SW: 204. Feel free to add me.
-
Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement :) <3
-
I bought a pair of size 8 jeans off the rack just to try, got home and they fit perfect. I was wearing size 18 in this same brand last fall! Excited to get a whole new wardrobe this fall!
-
Great job! Thank you for sharing. I am also 5'2" and working on getting to that 136 healthy bmi goal. 14 more pounds to go.
-
I hope so! I've lost 50 lbs. about 20 more to go. It's gotten much smaller, but still a hangover. I haven't had a c-section, but I have had 4 big babies that have caused a lot of stretching there!
-
I'm 5'2". I've lost almost 50 lbs. since November. I started at 204 and am now at 154.6 :) Just calorie counting and walking more.
-
I've started getting comments now that I'm finally out of the obese range. I still have 20 lbs. to lose to get to a healthy BMI, but people are already saying I don't need to lose any more. Not mean comments, just when I say I'd like to lose 20 more they say, "but there'd be nothing left of you" or like that.
-
I'm also in the "Fit for 40" club. I will be 40 at the end of October and hope to be 136 by then which will bring me to a healthy BMI. Currently 164, I've lost 40 so far. 28 more to go!
-
:) <3 Yay!

I weigh everyday. I weigh more (stay the same, and don't lose) when I'm ovulating and usually lose a couple pounds quickly right after my period ends. I like seeing the pattern so I can not get down on myself when the weight doesn't come off in the middle of the month.
