Anyone who has lost weight feel like posting before & afters

You are all so inspiring!

Oh, and I focused mainly on lifting. I did New Rules of Lifting for Women, then New Rules of Lifting for Abs, and at some point I added C25K as well to get additional cardio. I still haven't gotten all the way through C25K because I prefer running intervals to long distances.

Now I'm doing workouts out of the Women's Health Big Book of Exercises.

I was proud of eating only two tacos instead of three tacos for lunch today. LOL.

You're doing great as well. 18 pounds!!

LOL. Thanks.

I can't even tell in my pics compared to these, though!

Damn the need for EXERCISE.

(For the record, I didn't eat the tortilla of one of the tacos.)

About 100 lbs lost here.
Now it's about 85, but it's been at least 50lbs for the past 4 years (excluding a pregnancy), so I consider myself a success even though I'm not at the weight I should be yet.

It's certainly not earth shattering, but here we go.


ETA: Only 20lb loss, but I have put on a lot of lean body mass, so there's that. Size 12 to 4.

Can I ask a question?  Feel free to ignore, if you like.  Had you already had your reduction in the first picture?  Yes, I was staring at your boobs.  But just for a moment.  You look great!

About a 40 lb loss, size 14 to size 6.

We have similar bodies from your before picture. Do you mind sharing how you did it? You look amazing!

Thanks! I used MFP to track everything I ate. I also ran on my elliptical for 35 minutes about 6 days a week, sometimes 45 minutes. I hate strength work, but did it at least 1-2 times a week. Just very basic squats and hand weights. My body responds pretty well to cardo. Hoping that hold true after I have this baby!!

I've been looking hard for any photos that can show a difference.

Maybe you can see a slight change in my face?

If not, well, here are the tacos I ate today.

No. When I lost weight my breasts never got even a smidge smaller.

[lochnessie]

Fingers crossed this works!
 

Edited to show stats. Started at 284 and a size 24 and am now 126 and a size 0. Took 2 years and I did it the old fashion way of eating right and working out!

I  (heart) this thread. All of you are super inspiring and are giving me the kick in the ass I need to get my eating back on track so my workouts aren't for nothing.

I feel like an imposter posting this because I look like my "before" picture again This was back in 2011. I lost 80 pounds over the span of about 9 months and kept it off for about a year. Then I put it back on. Blah. But, hey, I want to be honest.


*POOF*

I did it by using Spark People to count my calories and track my exercise. It worked, obviously. I was diligent about going to the gym 6 times a week and took group exercise classes like spin, Body Attack and Body Pump. I cut out soda and really watched my caloric intake based on how much exercise I was doing. I worked up to running a 5K in about 32:00, going from not being able to run for 30 seconds. Honestly, I 100% could have kept the weight off, but I got married, went on a honeymoon, came back and kind of was down in the dumps after the festivities were all over and let myself get back into my old ways.

I don't plan to go as whole hog as I did before, but I do plan to hike 3-4 days this summer to get active again, cut way down on soda, start being more mindful of my eating, etc. This time I have no weight goal in mind, just being healthy.

He will smile all day for Instagram pictures, but he SUCKS at our annual family pics.  Jerk.  

[AHappierHour]

Wow!! Everyone looks great!! Great job

[memenee]

Incredible transformations! Thank you all for sharing.

[faith194]

Lurker here- not the best pics, but you get the idea.

I lost 60 pounds in 8 months on WW and have maintained for 2 years this October. I have yet to work out and I still enjoy food. People around me had no idea I was on ww, because I still enjoyed most foods. I think I was a size 20, but refused to buy the pants(I wore maternity even though DS was 2 years old) to a solid 10, sometimes 8 depending on style. Oh, and shirt size from XL to S.

I still have about 20 pounds to go, 10 until I am in the normal range. I think I am going to tackle those last few pounds this summer,

Everyone is super inspirational!!!

[Bad Dingo]
