I'll start out by saying....I am not nearly close to where I want to be. I have a long ways to go. I'm nowhere near perfect but I have to admit...I never thought in a million years I could say I have lost 46lbs. I am 22 years old and I will honestly say I haven't been under 200lbs since I was probably 14. I was SO tired of being well...tired, cranky, sore, and miserable. I have a 1 1/2 year old and it was time to change so I can chase her *kitten* around while she climbs, runs, and chases me around my house. I found myself being SO tired and worn out just by walking up my stairs, or trying to get out of bed was such a ***** because everything just hurt. I can say I feel almost ALMOST like a different person. I have maybe 70% more energy. I'm still overweight but it's crazy what a overweight person can do if they just TRY to do their best. Last night my family and my sisters family went walking and I ended up playing with all the kids on the playground. I was on the swings and chasing my niece around, doing monkey bars and lifting kids left and right to be able to reach the toys they wanted. After we left, I realized...holy **** I'm not even tired! If I would have done this a few months ago I would have just went home. Sweaty and tired and probably get in my fridge and eat. I came home, cleaned my house, folded laundry, had a handful of almonds, showered, and went to bed. Simple as that. There was no, "am I hungry or bored?" It is so wonderful literally ****ing wonderful that I can feel the mom I want to is slowly coming out. I hope one day to be at a goal weight keep it off, and entertain my kids and make them have the best childhood ever. I'm working very hard on myself and my eating habits. I have to change what I have known for basically 22 years. I'm ready to change my thinking process when it comes to food, so I can teach my kids. Food is fantastic, but it should NEVER be given as a reward, celebration, grieving, or happiness. Food is there to keep you healthy, strong, and live a long life. I know I'm not NEAR thin, nor do I strive to be. I just want to get to the point where I feel comfortable in my own skin. Okay okay, enough of this, here are the pictures.

    well done! The difference in your photos is amazing. I hope you are happy with yourself, you should be! It's great that you're focussing on how you feel rather than how you look (even though you look fab). Keep up the good work, very motivating post :)
