Hey guys! Needed some visual motivation so I'm putting this together to remind myself of what I've done. So I'll be the first to admit that the real bottom of the line reason I started losing weight was because I saw a picture on facebook that I hated LOL. It was from my 21st birthday (I went to AC), which I tried to look so nice for and the pictures just looked like a completely different person! Ever since then I started losing weight, but I would really kick it into high gear whenever I had a vacation coming up. Vacations become my motivator lol. Since Dec. 2010 I've been on 5 vacations and I see an improvement in every set of pics :)
