From 215 lbs to 159 in a year! PICS!

missxeve

Hello all! Just wanted to share my before and during pictures. I've lost 56 pounds since I started this journey last summer! I have about 30 to go but I'm feeling pretty good, regardless. Hope the first picture doesn't offend anyone, just pretend it's a bikini, okay? (Not that I'd be caught dead in a bikini.. yet, haha)

EDIT: For those wondering, I'm a short lady. 5'2 to be exact.







Another EDIT: I didn't expect such a large number of comments in such a short amount of time so I just want to share this... A lot of people are saying I didn't look 215 pounds... Trust me, I was. And it was heartbreaking to get on the scale and see that number. I cried like a baby once I got to over 200 pounds and I cried again when I got to 199 and promised myself to never, ever get that big again. My weight seems to evenly spread itself out and I don't have just one "trouble zone". It goes everywhere. I went from a 38C to a 36B, went from a size 16 to a size 10/12, went from a shirt size XL to a Medium. I even went from a SHOE SIZE 8 1/2 - 9 to 8! My feet lost weight, too So I'm posting another picture from last summer at my heaviest weight to give you guys another perspective of how I looked.

You look great! I had the same start weight and am sitting at about 158, but I don't look half as good as you do! You must have been doing a great strength training routine to tighten up so much. Good work!

Actually, I only used my elliptical and some pilates here and there. I have A LOT of toning up to do and I've just recently started.

Thank you! My main pointer for you is to NOT GIVE UP!!!! It's been a hard year and I'm guilty of slacking off here and there but I always got back on track. Just keep counting your calories and get regular FUN exercise!
