Before & After Pictures

Hello All,
I know I have a lot to work to do, but I thought I would post pics as I have always struggled with my weight. I also have under active thyroid, People told me I would never be a runner or a great exercise, or that I would always rely on my inhaler. I always wanted to be the skinny girl, but I am not and never will be but what I will be is STRONG. Also, I relied on the scale to be my determinant of success, but sometimes you have to go by the way you feel, I am fitting into the smallest clothes ever and I am the strongest ever. I am battling the last 7lbs but they seem to not be budging but its ok because I am happy and that is what counts. My progress photos are below. My heaviest at 167 and my current weight is 137. A number on the scale does not determine how great of a person anyone is, I am learning to realize that.
Thank you all for taking the time and read my story.

Dont be afraid of lifting girlie! I use to be but don't be afraid of a little heavy weight Make sure your protein comes from lean stron sources such as tuna, chicken , turkey and I try to stay away from processed foods as much as I can 0 -

Job well done!0

: ) I actually wish I were 167! I used to use an inhaler. I did track, cross country, volleyball, gymnastics, I exercise every day and I eat right (healthy foods as well as in my calorie range). Both of my jobs require me to be on my feet a lot. I am as healthy as a horse aside from injuries from a car accident. And yet, I weight 207. It's crazy. But my weight is going down with the help of MFP. You do give inspiration though. I honestly would never expect myself to become as thin as you have, but who knows. Maybe I will.,
