10 months new view of myself *Pics*

So my before pictures are very embarrassing but when I took them 10 months ago I said that I wouldnt post them anywhere until I looked in the mirror and didnt see a "fat girl" anymore. And last night was finally the night that I thought I looked good in my at home workout clothes.. I still have 8 more pounds til goal and no where close to what I want to look like but this is definitly the best I have ever looked or felt..

SW: 178
CW: 148
GW: 140

** lots of cardio, zumba, pilates, and Jillian Michaels DVDs
between 1200-1600 calories a day and some cheat days.. if I ate more lean and clean Im sure that I would look or be at where I want to be by now but what Im doing is working for me and Im not miserable so I cant complain *
