84 lbs lost, 16 to go! :)

I had been heavy my whole life, but I was my heaviest about four years ago. I was 5 feet tall, 13 years old, and 210 lbs. At that point, my weight was actually affecting my health. I began to get high cholesterol, was a borderline diabetic, and had back troubles, mainly because I was so heavy for my height. I finally made the decision to start being committed to losing weight, and now I am 84 lbs smaller and a heck of a lot healthier :) I am so proud of my self for all I have been through, because it has definitely been a though journey, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Unfortunately, I have hit a plateau with my weight loss, and haven't lost much weight in the last 3 months. So, the time has come that I need to get my motivation back, and lose the last 16 lbs to put me at my goal weight of 110. :)

    What an inspiration you are! I am glad you made the decision to take care of yourself. You have your whole life ahead of you! Congrats! I finally got past my plateau. It is hard and discouraging, but keep at it 'cuz you gotta be in this for life and there will be hard times. But the good times are so much sweeter!

    Amazing stuff. Well done! I bet you feel incredible. I like that you've made such positive choices for yourself, and that you've taken your time to build a healthier lifestyle that you can maintain for your whole future life.

    And guess what? You can stop saying 'I've always been heavy', now. Because lovely, you haven't 'always been heavy'. You are not heavy now. You are fit and healthy and looking amazing. You are a young woman with everything laid out before you, and you've taken your life back into your own hands. You are amazing.
