PICS 83 pounds down, nearing goal

I'm not at my goal yet, but I've come a long way and wanted to share.

I was at my high weight of 236 in late December 2011 (pregnant). In March of this year, at my highest non-pregnancy weight of 220, I decided I didn't want to be miserable in my own skin anymore.

This is the biggest full body pic I could find, and while my high weight was 236, this was probably in the 2-teens, possibly 220s.

This is 152.6 pounds.

This one is definitely in the 220s.

150s here.

Thats awsome, so you tried to stay at 1200 cals every day.. Did you find you often ate less? And you still lost weight eating less ?

Wow wow wow. Thanks everyone! It's so wonderful to be able to share successes with so many people

Wahoo, i am impressed. This is really a good job.
What has changed now ? What is different ?

I think the main things that have changed are my confidence and my overall fitness! I really do like working out and it's amazing how much more I can do 80+ pounds lighter!

Thats awsome, so you tried to stay at 1200 cals every day.. Did you find you often ate less? And you still lost weight eating less ?

I would definitely not say I tried to stay at 1200 calories every day, at all. I have gone through many phases as far as caloric intake, overall probably around 1500-1700, but I've had times I've gone lower (sometimes way lower, and that never worked out very well in the end). Right now I'm doing New Rules of Lifting for Women and following their calorie suggestions which are around 2000 depending on the day (rest or workout day).

From the head shots alone, it is hard for me to believe that those are even the same person. Gives me added motivation to get to my goal where I haven't been since maybe middle school.

When people ask me why I'm STILL doing this after 8 months (and 50 pounds down) I say the same thing, I don't want want to be miserable in my own skin anymore.

You look amazing! You really fabulous, and you're line about being miserable in your own skin resonated with me.

God bless!
