I started out this journey when I hopped on the scale and saw that it said 200+ lbs... WHAT!!??? I couldnt believe it... Then and there I decided it was time to make a change... It was May 14th of this year and I started out in a size 16 womans pants and xl tops... Never in a million years would I have thought my body could make the transformation it is making today :)

I have lost over 40 lbs but since Ive been keeping track I have lost 38 lbs... I am now at 160 and feeling pretty amazing..

I am in a size 11/12 JUNIORS!! :) pants and a small top...

Even though I have exceeded my goals, I keep setting newer smaller ones to push myself further... I thought I would be happy at 165... but decided ... eh Ill try for a little more... now at 160... I decided I think my ultimate goal is going to be 150... but right now I am shooting for 155... :)

I wish I would have taken a true before pic, but I NEVER wanted to have to look at that... I did however take a pic at 183 .. and then just the other day I took a new one... so here ya go! :)

    Pretty darn good, well done! You got what i'm getting aswell - I don't know if it's just less of a slump because i'm not carrying as much weight around the belly and obviously some weight has came off my boobs (creating less of a heavy sag), but they seem to have lifted themselves up and became perkier! Sorry don't mean to sound pervy but it's noticeable in the pics and can only ever be a good thing! xx

    Yes I see a huge difference in my breasts also... they have lifted some... which is AWESOME! My back aches have gone almost completely away and my shoulder grooves have gotten better!

    WEIGHT LOSS IS AMAZING ISNT IT??!! lol :)

    Good for you!! Way to go!!!... I dont want to go lower than 150 because I still want my curves and I am a momma... so I love my body for bearing my child... I dont want to look sickly... so Im gonna stick with 150/155 :) To me, that is a healthy weight for my body type and height...

    Good luck!!

    you look fantastic! awesome pictures! amazing what a difference of 23lbs between your 1st pic and your latest pic!!! CONGRATS!

    I am also going to be changing my goal... i have just reached my goal of 155lbs (i'm only 5'3 tho) but i'm gonna get to 150 and then that'll probably be good for me, I think :) (with Jillian Michaels' help!). hubby keeps saying how amazing i look and how i'm 'shrinking away to nothing' lol.

    and thats fantastic about your back too. i have back issues too and since i've lost the weight, my back has been great! :) weight loss IS amazing!
