Almost Half-Way! With LOTS of pics

HeyGrlHey

So I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of May at 163lbs. Within 3 days I gained 3 pounds and went up to 166lbs. When I stepped on the scale that day something in me changed. Something told me that this was no longer a concept or idea that can be on the back burner, but this was my life. My one life. My one body. I was only 20 years old - I didn't want to waste it.

So I started exercising and eating healthy. I had my ups and downs. Good days and bad days, but I kept on going. Even if the scale went up I didn't let it bring me down. I pushed harder. Ran harder. and Ate cleaner. Before posting these pictures I looked back at my FIRST EVER post on MFP. It said:

"I will not only talk the talk, but I will also walk the walk all the way to 120lbs."

I am currently 144lbs! I am very excited to get back into the 130's. I didn't realize how much weight I have actually lost until I looked at the pictures from the start.

Me at 166lbs :noway:



Me at 154lbs trying on my old pants from H.S. :noway:





Me at 148lbs :noway:



Me at 145lbs trying on my fav. pants (again) back in H.S.! :noway:





We put on weight fast, but we must realize it comes off slow. When you feel like stopping or giving in, those are the moments that count the most!:drinker:
