edited January 8 in Success Stories
So I was just going through some old pics and realized how much my life has changed....and every once in a while I do a success thread so here goes:

These were my stats when I joined MFP in January of 2010:

Weight: 174
Waist: 34"
Hips: 42"

I didn't allow pics to be taken of me standing "normally"...but I took this one and hid it. I just found it and remembered what it was like to feel that on my body:

In this pic, I was trying to look thin:

This was when I had decided I didn't care how I looked, I was having a good time and I was going to let it show that I was happy, even if I was 174 lbs (I am sucking it in tho!):

These are my now stats:
Weight: 136
Waist: 28"
Hips: 35"
bf%; approx 20

My goals are to be:
weight: approx 130
waist: 25-27" (whever it falls!)
Hips: >35" (anywere smaller than this)
Bf% of 16% <--this is my real goal!

    Thanks for sharing, I am the same height and body type, and exactly 174, which I am currently proud of, but I want to finish this and get to where you are now. Because you look great and you are continuing to get healthier. It's not the "skinny" I am after it is the "strong and healthy" Thanks for being a shining example to model.

    I'm not. I took myself on a vacation there after a big test I had to take to relaaaaxxxx. Biked all over that city. I got to do the critical mass, too. I had a great time!

    In retrospect, swimming with seals might not have been the brightest idea ;) When I got out my friend was like "I think the sharks follow them." LOL!
