163 lhs lost (with photos)

Options
Hi... I'm Anj. I woke up one day and was really disheartened that I was too fat for my "fat" pants. I hope these photos can be an inspiration to you. I didn't have any surgeries done nor did I use any weight loss programs or pills. I joined Curves for Women and tried to adjust what I eat. It's been a hard struggle and I've fought for every pound I've lost. There is no magic cure to losing weight. Food is a daily struggle. I now exercise daily at Good Life Fitness Centres and completed my first half marathon last fall. I will always fight but I'm never going back... You will have to cut and paste these links since I don't know how to "hyperlink them" into this post.

These 2 photos are from me at my heaviest... 313 lbs. One is in Greece and the other is at my friend's wedding (the bride's maid dress is a size 28)

These 3 are more recent photos at the 150 lb mark... First is a cute dress I loved and had to buy (size 10) Second is a tough walk in China (I spend 3 months each summer there) and Third is a windy day in a size 8 short and medium sized top at the Great Wall of China.

I'm aiming for 135... hope to post up the finished product when I get the last 15lbs on the books!
