I started this journey January 1st as a New Year's Resolution at 207 lbs. I didn't really put forth much effort until school started January 11th and I struggled through the semester to lose any weight. I knew I wanted to lose 62 lbs by the end of the year and be at 145 lbs. In May I weighed in the 190s. I also knew that if I didn't jump on this weight loss during the summer, I would never be able to complete my ultimate goal. So this summer I've been learning how to get into the groove of logging my food, staying home and eating, exercising, drinking water, etc.

My boyfriend's (at the current time) prom in '06. I was about this heavy or heavier during my whole junior high, high school years until . . . .

Senior year, April '07. I fell in love October '06 and lost all kinds of weight. I'm not sure how much I lost because I didn't ever get on a scale, but you can tell the difference what a year makes. This has been the smallest I've been my entire "adult" life.

April '08. The Freshman 15 weren't able to get ahold of me yet . . .
