178 to 150

VarnerChic

This is the picture that started it all...



I could not believe how big I was.... 178 pounds, maybe a little more. This was the summer of 2010.



Spring 2011. By this point, I had lost down to 164 pounds.



Spring 2012. 155 pounds.



Now.. 148 pounds.

I run 4-5 times a week and circuit train 2-3 times a week. I sometimes count calories. Mostly, I try to eat food that is good for me.

I'm posting these both as a celebration of how far I have come, and to keep me accountable to continue to strive to reach my goal weight... 135 pounds. I'm getting so close, but it seems like my motivation has been lacking as of late.

Great job! you should be proud. Keeping going, those last few pounds are the stubborn ones, but you can beat them down.

You are very inspiring! I am at 166 lb right now and it's hard for me to imagine that losing 16 lb will make that much of a difference and it seems pointless. Looking at your pictures gives me hope!

i wish i had pictures i did the same thing last year. Got engaged in December 2009 and weighed about 175, ate right (i did count calories for the most part), did cardio 3-4 times a week... made sure i didnt just go home after work and sit, i went outside and walked, played with my daughter. and by Sept i was down to 145, lookin gFABULOUS for my wedding.

it is amazing was 30 lbs lost looks like...

NOW i am back up to 176 after having my second daughter... so i am determined to get back down to my wedding weight

You look awesome! Congrats on having your hard work pay off!

You could be my twin. I also started at a '179' photo and am down to 141. I'm short @ 5ft 2, and I looked awful! feel so much better now, energized and addicted to workouts.

Again, congrats! I'm proud of you! Keep up the good work, your pics prove that it CAN happen! :flowerforyou:
