    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.

    Awesome goal, great progress
  • 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:

    You are fabulous! Even at 220lbs you carried it well and were more evened out than a lot of people at that weight. You have done an amazing thing for yourself!

    I don't see any stretch marks but, I'm sure to you it looks different. A lot of the times if they are not gigantic you can have laser correction done. Just a thought. I don't see anything but, if it bothers you it may be an option for you.

    My husband told me when I was the same weight as you that he what he wanted for our next aniversary was for me to be sipping pina colada's on the beach in my bikini with him. Our anniversary is Feb. 14th. I don't think I will reach my goal weight but, now that I've seen you in a bikini at 165lbs I'm hopeful that it could happen for him. I have been averaging 8-10lbs a month. It could happen..right? lol

    Congratulations! You are awesome!

    I started Round 2 December 12th. ) I'm on the third week as of now. First round was successful. I lost 25 pounds (10 pounds first month, 15 second month) Good luck on Insanity!

    Yes, it can! At 220, I NEVER thought I'd be in a bikini.... You can do it as well. 8-10 pounds a month is PERFECT. I lost about 8-9 pounds per month. Though, in November I lost 15 pounds since I was doing Insanity (the second month is a butt kicker haha:laugh: )

    Great job! Its so encouraging! I was 220 in January. I am now 205. I have been eating better and working out on my own as well as doing Insanity with a few friends. The weight loss has slowed down a little, which can be really frustrating BUT I know I am doing everything I can to eat right and exercise. I just need to be patient in the process.

    Looking great!!!
  • stretch marks = battle scars .... battles which you have conquered, and you're gonna win the war! (though like many have stated I can't see them!)

    Keep it up!!!

    Wow so amazing girl. Keep it up! You have great goals. I'm trying to get back on the wagon. I've gained and I need to get back in the zone.
  • I joined MFP on February 26th, 2013 and since then I have lost 5lbs. I started at 231lbs and have a similar body type to you, and to see how great you look at your current weight gives me the motivation and makes me happy to know that I too can look like you in weight wise. This is my LAST attempt to lose weight, and I am not stopping until I succeed.
