A photo of a 5'8" woman showing a weight cut from 207 pounds to 180 pounds. A respectable loss of 27 pounds.
F/29/5'8" [207lbs > 180lbs = 27lbs] (1 month) also lost 4" off my waist. After struggling with thyroid issues for years I finally got treated and decided to make more healthy changes. Halfway to my GW. It's been an inspiration looking at everyones posts, so thank you!
