At 16 I was weighing about 200lbs (wearing a 38) and by 18 I was at 135 (wearing a 28). By the time I hit 21 all the weight came back. Thru the years I have been all over the place and pulled some pictures to remind myself that yo yo dieting does not and will not ever work.
These pictures are in order with my age. Didn't really weight myself to often so cannot say how much I weighed in each. Im sure im not the only one out there that has been like this so I figured I would share.

(Side note: Don't think the years i used are correct, but ages are)

Add me if you'd like! :smile:

    Wow! I also admit that you are indeed a looker...lol

    I need to do something like this to remind me as well. Great job though! You look great.

    great way to put it! sometimes we need the reminder even better in pictures.. I've been meaning to make a collage of how my body weighs the same but the make up (muscle to fat ratio) makes it look completely different. I am a scale slave and I get frustrated that when I was a sz 6 I weighed 128 and now that I'm a sz 2 I weigh 130 like what gives lol I feel like I should weigh at most 120 but muscle nor the scale agrees with me.

    LOL. I mean, I probably should. Some of these are hideous! Especially my 21st birthday! That was my biggest gain, EVER! Anyway, I kinda like the reminder too! It helps a lil bit!
