That time has come! Tomorrow marks my 1 year mark of losing weight! And low and behold I pulled off 98+ pounds! Not quite the 100 I wanted but hey I'm no were near finished, and who knows what the morning will bring. Im still pushing for that 115 pounds lost goal. But for anyone who has struggled with obesity their entire life, it is possible to change. It's possible to lose it, it's your *kitten* so move it! I won't lie to you guys; I have Starbucks every week, I love cupcakes, I have no self control when it comes to sour patch kids, I still do not like my body because of the damage being overweight did to my skin, I have yet to actually join a gym (weight loss starts in the kitchen), this is the smallest (lightest) I have been since elementary school, people still call me fat because yes I still have fat, I don't diet everyday, I cheat and eat things I shouldn't, Ive only had McDonald's once in the last year (I had to have a Despicable Me 2 toy!). I'm not perfect and neither in my weight loss story, there's been times I've lost motivation, I've gained a few pounds back, I stressed out, I almost gave up; but I realized I spent 18 years overweight, practically killing myself slowly and its time for a new Jordan; a healthy one. So my advice; when you look in the mirror and see no change, and still keep faith, knowing that in time you will get there if you stay focused and on track, that's the difference between those who succeed and those who fail.

Last year I was wearing anything from an 18 to a 22, I'd buy men's XL shirts and my bra was a 40DDD, talk about some weight on my body. I never felt like I was good enough. Now I'm not afraid to admit my past size because I'm overcoming it. 1 year, only 365 days, I pulled off pretty much 100 pounds. I am now wearing anything from a 6 to an 8, men's small T-shirts, 36D bras are so easy to find, and I feel good. And that's the point of all this; to feel better about my self, and live a long healthy life.

265+ to 165-168! I'm 5.10 btw.

I love that you went to McDonald's for the toy - I adore the despicable me movies! Huge congratulations on your amazing achievement, and for doing it all without being super-rigid. You look fantastic.

Amazing, congratulations! I said Holy Crap, when I saw your pictures, you should be so proud of yourself for what you have accomplished in 1 year. The fact that you kept going and got to where you are now is impressive, who the hell could call you fat? You are beautiful and I love your smile.
