Always good to be reminded that it is the long haul that counts. The time will pass anyway and all the small losses add up to make a final goal. You look fantastic and I can see why you are happy and pleased with yourself. You did a GREAT job. Thanks for the motivating post. Any tips on how you when about it and how you had the patience to stick with it???

On Wednesday I will have been at this for two years to the day. In that time I have lost:

84 pounds
15 inches off my waist
9 inches off my hips

My bra size has gone from a 42DDD to a 36C. I used to wear size 22 pants, size XL shirts. Currently I'm wearing 12s and smalls. My starting weight was 249lbs. My goal is to make it to 149, making 100 pounds lost. I'm only 16 pounds from goal. It's taken me longer than others to lose this much but I honestly don't care if it takes me another 5 years to make it to goal. I'm already as happy as I could ever imagine.

Not only am I in love with my new body but I've completely changed my daily life. I'm more active than I've ever been, going to the gym 5x a week and playing for a women's rec soccer league. I've started lifting, and I can now lift more weight than I've lost.

I've posted here before at different times in my journey, and I still can't believe that I made it to be one of these people. In the beginning I lived on success stories and progress pics. I hope that my story can be as inspiring as others have been for me.

Awesome well done you! Very inspiring
Can I ask what height you are?

Thank you everyone! For those who asked, I'm 5'6. And my tattoos haven't been negatively impacted at all, although none of them are in areas where I lost an extreme amount (my waist for instance). As I've been losing I've had more done.
