    what 55 lbs looks like

    I found these old "before" pictures. I cropped out most of my face because I looked horrible. Losing this weight has taken a good 10 years off me.
    I didn't think I had before pics but I found them backing up files.

    I'm 5'8 and currently at 170. I want to lose 20-30 more pounds

    Those brown pants were an XL and now they fall off. I currently wear a medium in pants like that!

                    Everyone is built differently. I have friends the same height as me who are larger even at the same weight. It also really depends on how much muscle you have, as that's more compact than fat lol. You HAVE to build that muscle. If you're 5'8 and get to 170, you could possibly even look thinner if you have more muscle!

                    Thank You everyone! This board really helped me to be successful with atkins this time around. I'm allllllmost there.
