Hi, guys. I won't say much -- I'm a 24-year-old girl from somewhere on planet Earth.

Quick info:
Age: 24
Height: 174 cm / 5'9"
SW: 106 kg / 234 lb
CW: 66 kg / 145 lb
Duration: 18 months

I have lost 40 kg (or 88 lb) through *gasp* dieting and exercising. My diet consisted of everything in moderation and I did mostly aerobic stuff like rollerskating and walking. I do realise I have A LOT to improve on, so weight training is definitely on my bucket list!

The key to staying motivated was not letting myself lose and regain those same kg over and over. The weight was lost healthily along 1.5 years -- so only 2 kg (5 lb) per month. Slow and steady!

I hated taking pics so I apologise for the lack of before photos. :(

So now what matters most, pics!

Sorry for watermark -- I don't want my pics being used on chinese websites to sell miracle pills :neutral:

I was fat and my best friend was cheese.

I hated taking pictures because I felt like a couch.

    Our stats are so similar! I'm 172cm, started at 108kg and my goal is 60-65kg (but I'll see how I feel). I'm 15kg down (was 20kg down but gained - I love your motivation to not re-gain kgs because I need that reminder lol). Congrats! and thanks for posting :)

    You can do it, that goal is super achievable! Remember to take progress pictures, whenever I felt demotivated or like it was being too slow, I looked at my comparison pictures and it helped me get through it!
    Also 15 kg is amazing progress, it shows you know exactly what you need to do to succeed :) I hope to see your pictures in this thread soon <3

    Well, Maria is dancing around in a dress shop in my head now, because it doesn't take much to get a song stuck there. But I have to say, great job! Similar stats here so it's nice to see your story. I'm 66lbs down from my high weight and still trucking on, slowly but surely. Congratulations to you!
