I'm not sure how much i actually lost.
I did originally think it was about 42lbs
Not sure though!
I was 15 when the picture was taken (The one on the left)
20 when the second one was taken!
I gained back about 28lbs between 18-20 years of age.
I am planning on getting to a nice healthy weight of 120-130 (i'm 5'2) + Toning. So muscle weight.
Looking at this gives me motivation. I can do it once. I can do it again!
I didn't even lose weight on purpose. I just started going out more/cutting back calories (without knowing to my knowledge) I'm guessing the fact I kept myself busy I wasn't eating as much as I use to. I done that in about half a year
Or less..
So if it's one of those days. Look back at those pictures or where you were/was. It really helps
P.S no idea how to put pictures on here so It's just a link!
