    THEN....

    The results started coming out of nowhere...

    I was finally starting to see huge changes.

    My confidance has sky rocketed and I am becoming more comfortable in my own skin as each day passes.

    It's hard to believe that the pink dress was taken on 6/22/13 and the striped dress was taken just a little over 4 months later.

    If you are just now starting on your weight loss journey...TAKE PICTURES. Pictures have been what has saved me from caving in and giving up. Even though you may not see results in the mirror I could always find the results in pictures when i compared side-by-sides. I look at these pictures every single day to keep me accountable and motivated to not give in.

    I'm not quite to my goal yet but i'm within the 20-25 pound range and feeling great. Reading success stories and posting some of my "before and current" pictures helps me remind myself that I have already accomplished so much and to be patient with the last of the weight because IT WILL COME OFF. Stay positive everyone and give it your all, WE can do this! :)

    You look amazingly beautiful

    Wow! You look awesome!

    I started at 239lbs. My B-day is a day before yours. (June 22nd). My end goal is 150ish.

    You have really inspired me. Your pics are amazing!
    Do you lift?


    We have alot in common then! :)
    To this day I have not lifted. Within the past 3 weeks all i have done is added dumbbells into my workout routines and within the next couple days i'm going to up the weight on those and also get a pair of ankle weights. As much as i would like to try and lift, I have no idea where to start, i don't have a gym membership and i know i can't afford a gym membership and a personal trainer.

    People have great success stories on here from lifting, eventually I will do it, but i am happy with my results so far on my journey and i'm in no big hurry. The biggest thing i have learned from reading the forums is....The best exercise is the one that you will make as a routine in your life and keep sticking to it...and thats exactly what i'm doing right now :)

    Nice work! That's been a fast progression, you are obviously working very hard and very focused. Keep it up.

    BTW, as a Packer fan that one picture almost made me hurl (with the Bears sweatshirt). Just kidding, you beat us a couple weeks ago, I was at the game and so sad. :-(
