2005 when I turned 21 getting ready to go white water rafting in Alaska. Barely found a suit that fit :(

2006 trip to Disney World

Then I lost about 70lbs between 2007 and 2010.

October 2010 at the Big-E in MA with my fiance

I know I have a long journey ahead of it, and haven't even lost half of what I want to, but it still is encouraging looking back at how I was at my heaviest :)

I have been overweight my whole life and now I am at my thinnest that I've ever been (I am even less weight now than when I was 16)

When I was 16....

    Let's see if that works.

    Okay it did... you take the address of the link (in the last pic, it was http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m508/sleepnbeeutie/th_IMG_0212.jpg and before it you put img] after the pic, but without the space between the brackets.
  • If you put the letters img in square brackets [ and ] at the beginning followed by the http address without any quotes and then after the .jpg or .gif put /img also in square brackets that should work.

    Well done on your journey to change your life, that's amazing.

    Thats fantastic! You go girl! It must be really cool to go into a store and find something you like instead of something that fits.

    The swimming thing is the worst. I was too heavy to get into my suit last year without some help and I had trouble walking with my thighs. I didn't have as much to loose as you did, but it was already making it so that I stopped doing things because it was too hard.

    Here's to doing what you want and feeling good!

    Keep it up!

    Thanks! Now I am almost at that point where I am too "skinny" for a plus sized store and too overweight for a normal store. LOL. It's a good thing though!

    Really cool!

    My oldest gets her pants at the Gap. She claims they have some in-between sizes like you describe. I don't know, but you can see!
