    There is my front picture... A little shy posting this as you can see that I have A LOT of work to do... Stretch marks are not from a pregnancy... They were from when I was at 220 pounds, I gained the weight so quickly.. I'm hoping they will become more faded as I reach my goal weight.

    well, you can't see them in the photo... but they are there :-P Mostly faded, but I need to work on having a firm tummy so they don't show as much.

    Thank you! :)

    Well, I normally eat 5-6 times a day. This includes fruit, veggies, wheat bread/pasta, and lean meats such as chicken or fish. I haven't had any sugary drinks since August. (You don't need them, get your sugars from your fruit!) I've stayed away from all restaurant foods and try not to consume any bad fats (Bad oils, butter, etc.)

    Nice job! Your results are fantastic and you should be very proud. I've got about 40 lbs to lose over next 5-6 months and I was thinking maybe that was too much to lose so quickly, but you're inspiring me. Thanks for posting.

    I think you look beautiful. :) You actually started at the same place I did, but you're much further along. I think you're the perfect level of curvy, but do what makes you feel awesome! Also if you're worried about stretch marks, I can recommend using a skin firming moisturizer. (though I cannot see them)

    Thanks! I do love my curves A LOT... However, I want to see what my body will look like in 25 pounds.. I'm dying to wear a bikini already! :sad:
