in Success Stories
I've still got a long way to go, but I've felt a lot of confidence lately, and would like to brag a little bit about how far I've come. :)

I started my journey around April-ish. I was around 150+ lbs and a size 12/14, now I've gotten to the low 130's and wear a 4/6. I'm 5'1".

Before:
69oxgo.jpg on the far right. I am fat and sunburnt.... :P but I guess the point of before's is to look bad.

1zyg3e9.jpg This one, I hesitated to post, but I can't take it off fb, the world can already see it. Far left. When I eat bad foods, it also gives me bad skin :/

vcud0i.jpg Left, again. On my wedding day.

After:
141k45u.jpg Finally starting to feel happy and healthy- about a month ago.

11uci7c.jpg Taken today. :)

s6q6af.jpg A few weeks ago.

Overall, I am feeling so healthy (besides having a nasty cold), that I can't wait to see how much further this journey takes me. I may even have to adjust my goal weight closer to my current weight... :)

    That's great! But I just have one question - you lost 15 pounds and went down 8 sizes?! I have lost 16 pounds and went from tight 16s to fitting into most 14s - 2 size drop. What is up with that?!?!

    How did you do it?

    I just changed one small habit at a time, worked hard, and never gave up :)
    I will add you as a friend on here if you'd like. You could see my diary/ etc. :)

    How tall are you? I am only 5'1" (on a tall day). On shorties like me, a few lbs make all the difference. Plus, I have done some pilates/weight training, I would believe I have a bit more muscle now.

    Thank you all for your kind words :)

    You have no idea how this motivates me! I am 5'1 and in the 150's and wearing a 12....not happy here. But you let me see what can be done! Thank you! And wow to you and your success!!!! :)

    Can I digitally hug both of you? Especially you newmoon. I am more obsessed with how my skin looks than how big or small I am. Thank you!! :)
