So I'm usually the one scrolling through this section and wishing I was posting here. Well, now I am going to! I made an account years ago but didn't REALLY start using it until October 1st. Today is February 2nd. I started at 223 and today I weighed in at 152.4 ! I have exercised my butt off & ate healthy. Yes, I had meals where I just ate whatever. Yes, I had break downs. Yes, I work at Coffee Bean and ate pastries. But for the most part, I wanted this more than anything I've ever wanted ! I am two pounds away from what USED to be my UGW.

SW: 223 but probably higher unfortunately!
GW: 170
UGW: 150

Now:
GW: 150
UGW:136

I'm 5'5 by the way! && This was my first half marathon on January 20th, 2013. Here's to a good year guys! & I hope you didn't mind me posting a progress post vs. a final post!! But I will when I get to 136:] Hope my picture worked!

BTW it took a lot for me to post this, I have been so embarrassed by my weight, I was even to embarrassed to start going to the gym. but to the good part, the part I'm sure you are all looking for, my picture:

    I can't believe you did that in 4 months - that is AMAZING!! It really shows me what is possible and what a dope I've been since I just want to lose 20 but really just keep gaining and losing the same 5. Thank you for posting - it was a good kick in the pants for me. Keep up the fantastic work & good luck on the last part of your journey!!
