That is so inspiring. Your body looks great...nice and toned. I am at 180 lbs. desperately trying to get to at least 150 lbs and it seems impossible. It is motivating to see photos like this.

How did you do it?

Oh, thanks all of you for your wonderful comments!

In the beginning, I did straight cardio, until that began to bore me. Now I do kickboxing once a week and twice a week I lift weights. Sometimes I life heavy, sometimes I work endurance. I do love weights, and it has reshaped my body! My diet is pretty simple, and once I found food I liked it became easier; I usually eat similar foods every day. Not teaching myself to eat a variety of foods has hindered my progress, however. This holiday I am having a hard time eating healthy food when I'm outside of my daily schedule. It is something I need to obsly. work on! Thank you for your words of encouragement.

Thank you so much for posting this! You've done such a great job, you're officially my inspiration. Keep up the good work!

I'm 5'3" and started about 10lbs higher than you did, also a size 14/16 and we even look to have a very similar body shape, hair cut, and preference for eating the same foods most days. Your story and photos are really encouraging, maybe I can do it too :-) And it looks like my goal of a size 6 is realistic, which is even better!

You look amazing. Did you exercise along the way?

Yes, I exercised the entire time. I have slowed down though, and now I am only exercising twice to three times a week.

Wow... I never considered my butt to be something enviable!! I never thought it had changed too much. Thanks, guys!

Wow looking at your before pics is like looking at myself. Same body shape, but I'm at 215 and 5'7. As everyone else said, SOOO inspiring to see what I could look like at that weight. I have never been skinny either- I always joke that I was born at 125 lbs because that's the lowest number I remember. And that was in 5th grade!
