edited December 17 in Success Stories
I started my healthy lifestyle at the beginning of 2011, when I was 17, 5'8, and weighed 198 lbs. I'm now currently 148 lbs. I still have a little ways to go, but I'm not in a big rush.
Since losing the weight I've become a much happier person, and have a lust for life that I lacked before.
I often look in the mirror and am still unhappy with the girl I see, but accepting myself is still a work in progress.
If these pics even inspire just one person I'm happy :) You guys can do it!! Just remember why you want to do it in the first place, and don't let anything stop you from kickin *kitten*.

    Awesome job! I love the things that you had to say about what losing weight is doing for your outlook on life too! It's fantastic that you chose to make a lifestyle change instead of going for a "quick fix" weight loss method. I hope it's something that sticks with you for life!
