It depends on a lot of factors.....I'm 5'2" and started in size 24 mostly (some 26, some 22). I've lost 18 pounds and haven't changed sizes yet. I started at 293 and am at 275 now, my pants are getting a bit looser, but not enough to change a size yet.

Wow!!!! You look incredible! Posts like this are really motivating, so thanks so much for sharing!

You look awesome and I want your whole outfit in the last pic! LOVE!

This is how I have also chosen to live. My food scale stays home....but to each their own! Do what makes you feel best, but for me, I don't want to take it to that level.

Love the idea of putting weights on my scale! I'm going to start doing that :)

I'm waiting to hear the answer too lol....

This! You said it better than I did :) Must be that 2 year age advantage lol

OP - I'm 27, and if I didn't weigh so much, I'd probably wear that outfit....I think it looks perfectly fine! About the husband thing - I got married at 20, and *shocker*, we're still married lol! I love my husband and respect him and his opinions. Does that mean that I'm not my own person, absolutely not! We've never had…

Sent you a friend request :)

nvm

DUHHHHH!!!! Why didn't I think of that lol?? Much better to weigh it lol! Thanks for posting that....my husband divided our meal by 6. 6 very uneven squares lol.....

I'm kinda annoying about measuring, but if it was homemade mashed potatoes, I'd weigh everything separately (potatoes, butter, etc), and then mix them.....then I'd weigh the whole batch (making sure you subtract the bowl), then take out my portion and do the math lol....it's complicated but more accurate. I use cups and…

Holy!! You look incredible! Makes me wonder if I have collar bones lol!

Amazing job!!!!!! You're a really inspirational success story!!!

Well now I'm just confused..... I thought that if I wanted to suddenly get hot, I was supposed to post in here...guess I better go finds me an Internet picture real quick!

I personally do not have any off limits foods. I eat what I want as long as I stay within my calories. I have had a couple cheat meals (over my calories), but I felt sick after haha. If you stay under your cals, you'll lose weight. Period. However, I'm finding that eating something that's high in calories is usually not…

Those are some interesting profile pictures lol..... I can't be of help to you, but I'm sure you'll find lots of people who can - welcome to MFP :)

Do you actually enjoy what you're eating? That's a lot of bacon and coconut butter.......

^^^ yes....keep doing what you're doing! I lost consistently for 4 weeks, then my scale said I gained 1 pound last week lol. I know I didn't, but the body is an annoying creature sometime. Give it another 2-3 more weeks, and then if there is 0 change, maybe things need adjusting.

You look amazing!!! Same height as me, so now I can see what that weight looks like :)

Thanks everyone :)

I started with 150ish pounds to lose....everyday, remember why you are losing weight. If you feel like quitting, remind yourself how you feel right now!

I try to weigh myself only once a week (but usually jump on some other mornings), but the number doesn't really bother me that much. I weighed 1 pound more this morning than I did last Friday morning, but if I weigh in two days, I might be down 2 pounds. Don't sweat it....If you weigh weekly, look at a monthly trend. If…

Ugh.....I HATE lunges. But I gave you 10....painfully... 8 burpees to the next person - sorry!!!

You look awesome! Love the hair btw :)

Amazing story. You are incredible beyond just your weight loss!

This thread was really interesting to me because hubby and I hav been working on getting a healthier lifestyle. He automatically says he's cutting out sugar....fine, his choice. I say....I'm going to eat whatever I want as long as it fits into my calories. This is what happened yesterday. We bought a treat from the store…

You look great!! And on a side note - holy crap! Look at those eyes! Gorg!

I have them all listed on my profile page - and because I have a lot of weight to lose, they are about 15 pounds apart :)

Wow. So much anger.....have a snickers.
