My journey started July 2011 when I saw a picture of myself from earlier that year. It was HORRID. I was so mad that I had done this to myself. My top weight was 205.8. In the first 6 months I lost just over 30 pounds and then I hit a huge wall. I hit this plateau and I gave up for awhile. Then my tummy problems started up big time, and come to find out I had to have my Gallbladder taken out. So, I had surgery in June and a few months after that and 12 pounds gained back, I decided it was time to get my butt back in gear. That was hard because I had to re-learn what I could and couldn't eat. It's still a battle, but since I can't eat crap anymore (well I can but I have SERIOUS consequences lol), my weight loss as been plowing forward! Since I re-started 2 1/2 mos ago, I've lost 25lbs with a total loss of 47.8lbs. I still have a ways to go, but I honestly don't know what weight I can get down to. I really don't care to tell the truth. I just want to feel good in my skin, and be proud of who is in the mirror. I already am! So without further ado.. Here's the part everyone loves!

This is that horrid picture I was talking about.. taken 02/2011

    You look great!! Good job and keep up the hard work! Get out there and enjoy the life you want. You become what you want to be by being what you want to become everyday.

    GO BRONCOS!! I live in Kansas now but I am BSU Alum so I had to throw that in! I miss Idaho and can't wait to visit our family there next summer.

    Unfortunately I cheat a little and am taking Phentermine.. besides that I eat healthier- smaller portions, and more frequently. I was riding a bike to work for about a month until it got really chilly, and I go to the gym in the mornings. I'm horrible at counting cals lately because I haven't been eating very much recently due to family stressors but I usually try to keep myself in check.

    Lol I can understand missing Idaho. I lived in Cali with my mom for a time and all I ever did was talk about Idaho and I realized it was time to come home! I work in the health center for the students.

    Ugh! I know right?! 5 pounds is like a whole other pant size sometimes! lol I'm glad I can finally be an inspiration. I know I sure do appreciate other shorties stories so I thought I'd add my two cents :)
