Loss of 22 pounds with Pics!!

Lisa__Michelle

It has been 6 long months since I decided to change my life. I started at the end of October 2010 and have lost 22 pounds! I have been through many plateaus and temptations but I have gotten through them. I feel better about myself, I do not feel fat all of the time, and my self-esteem has improved dramatically. Before, I would wake up everyday and hate to go in public because I felt so fat in everything I wore. Now, I can wear things that I never thought I would, I can go in public and feel good about myself, and I actually feel sexy again. I know I have a long way to go, but I know I can do it! Oh yeah, and I am 5'6 for those who would like to know!

This is me October 2010 when I was at my heaviest of 202 lbs:




This is me April 17, 2011 at 180lbs:

Great job! Keep up the good work! It's really a long and hard journey, but to feel happy when you look in the mirror, it's all worth it!

You really look amazing! It is sometimes hard to believe how bad people feel inside about their weight. We all know people we really liken who are overweight, and we just love them because they are great friends, and their weight doesn't enter into our feelings. But how overweight people feel about how they look can matter a lot -- to themselves! I could really identify with what you said about not wanting to get up and go out in public because you felt fat. I was getting down to very few articles of clothing I could actually get into and I hated going to parties ALWAYS in the same old black pants...the only ones that fit! I also hated going to buy new clothes as I would think it was a complete waste of money, buying something when I was so heavy...that I should wait until I had lost some weight. Most of the time, that didn't happen, so I was stuck in the same old black pants! I can tell just by looking at your "after" picture how good you are feeling now about yourself because your entire posture and attitude has changed...completely! The exercise, as well as the weight loss is making your body look fit and healthy and desireable! What is most important is that you feel that you are all those good things, too, and wow! -- does it ever show! I love the hot pink, too! Hot pink for a hot gal! Keep up the great work!
