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.

    You look amazing!! Wow!! Congratulations on all that you have accomplished. Sometimes the scale is our biggest enemy, and it`s nice to see someone learning to overcome that.

    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 :)

    Wow. You said you had a lot of work to do still so I thought the ones in the pink dress were the "after"! You look wonderful. :) And kudos to you for proving all those people wrong.

    : ) 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., ;)
  • You look amazing! With that being said, I thought you looked amazing in the pink dress. I'm trying to get to the pink dress myself! LOL
