Your story was not boring. I think you are amazing. Great job. I have just discovered MFP in the last 3 weeks and i love it. I have the same mental issues. No matter what I weigh I still see the same heavy body in the mirror. It would be a huge break through for me to see the reality.

Oh My God,
You sound just adorable. Me bored reading it....:flowerforyou: .. I think not.
I tell ya, You looked like a sweet person at 280 lbs.and I see another Sweet person at your current weight.
It's so good that you took your time to get to where you are because it's not just a Physical ( Outside) transition but also a Spiritual and Emotional one.
When you take the tiem to lose the weight I think you give the other two ( Inside) a chance to catch up to adjust.
You look lovely.
Allways be kind to yourself. No Matter What.
Take Care,
kiki

Your story is so inspirational...thank you for sharing your emotional journey. I share issues with body image perception so this hit home to me. I hope you can see the amazing progress you've made...you have so much to be proud of! And as a fellow bottle blonde, I have to say that the platinum was an excellent choice, and it really frames your face quite well *hugs* to you!

Great transformation! Awesome!

invisibubble

wow thank you so much for this today i was thinking that im doing this for nothing but now i got the motivation i need great work. if you want to add me as a friend you can i can use all the advice i can get

I'd be happy to. Not sure if I'd be much of a help, though, but I'll try my best

Congratulations!!! This is so inspiring, do you mind sharing tips on how you did this? thanks

The healthy ones? Pilates were a great starter exercise to build up muscle. That helps you burn faster, because muscle burns calories faster than fat. Small, gradual swaps helped too, and weaning off bad habits. It also helps that I like miniature things and therefore often eat from baby bowls and in tiny portions... Sorry, I'm not good on the spot.

Fantastic!!! You also look rather tall????

Noes. 5 foot 6.5 inches.

Your story is so inspirational...thank you for sharing your emotional journey. I share issues with body image perception so this hit home to me.

Well you are one seriously gorgeous chick! Platinum was a new one for me, but I feel more comfortable in that colour than any other :happy:

How long did it take for you to get where you are now/

7 years, although like I say, I did gain some of the time.

Awesome work! You look absolutely amazing! Really love the hair color (the purple-ish color). Do you know what color/brand that is? I'd love to try it hehe

Sure do, it's Schwarzkopf Live Luminance L76 Ultra Violet

Once more, to everyone, thank you. I really didn't expect all this. :blushing:
