Hello! I'm 5'8" and I started at 250 and here is the before picture.


Right now I am at 192 and doing great! I'm not sure what my goal weight should be. Maybe 130 or 140? Any suggestions? Here I am right now.


Thanks for letting me share!!

WOW... thanks for posting your pictures. It's funny because, often as a person drops the weight it seems to take years off of their appearance. In your pictures, in your first one you look more like a little kid and your next one makes you look like this smokin' hot WOMAN whose ready to take on the world . You are truly beautiful in both photos, but the slimming down is just magnifying your beauty in all the best ways .

Keep up the great work, and lookin' forward to more pics .

Hi Rachel, you are very pretty, quite lovely!

As far as your goal is concerned, why not look at height-weight charts and BMI charts to get an idea of where 'healthy is'. Your goal can always be changed. Only you will know how you feel as you approach the reasonable goal you set for yourself. I used the charts as my indicator.

I am sure that many others on the forum can give you their ideas of what goals should be. Again, you are lovely, and at whatever goal you set for yourself?--when you get there?------oooohhh, la, la!!!! Joan

You have similar stats that I do.

I'm 5'8" and started at 266.
According to the BMI we should be at 154 to reach 24 BMI (Considered healthy)

Great pictures!!

wow great going girl! u look great! how long have u been on the plan?

last summer I started and was on it for about 3 or 4 months and lost 40 or so. then i just sort of maintained it and then started again this summer. i didn't plan it that way but it just sort of happened. i am so glad that i have not gained back anything! even thought i sort of hit a dry spell where i wasn't following the plan closely, i never gained. that is great.

so all total i don't even think I've been on the plan 5 full months!! it works very fast once i stick to it strictly. it's an easy plan and i feel great. totally committed to losing the rest to hit my goal!! woo hoo!!

Thanks for sharing, Rachel!! You look awesome. I agree with whoever said to look at the bmi chart. That is the best way to estimate, but just remember that muscle is more dense than fat, and therefore weighs more than fat. You might weight 160 pounds, but still wear a size 9 jean. Keep us posted, and welcome to the club!!

You look great ~ Thanks for sharing the pics. !30-140 is probably a good number for you but see how you feel as you progress and check with your doc and the bmi charts.
