Around 35lbs lost so far - before and during!

Katersamo · February 2013

Hi guys, my name is Kate and i'm 21 years old. I'm in the process of losing weight and have been for a little while now. I am looking for some new friends to keep me motivated throughout this journey. My mum and my best friend are my friends on MFP but they don't post regularly and I would LOVE to see others succeed.

I am 5'4"...almost 5'5" on a good day!

I used to be over 200 lbs...207 I think was the heaviest that I ever weighed myself before going in to denial mode.

I won't bore you with my writing but i'll post a couple progress pics from over the years

Before (November 2009) - I would say about 205 lbs here.

Feeling really bad among all my skinny cousins

Today (Feb 2013) - On saturday when I weighed in I was 168.4lbs

I took these just this evening because I have managed to fit in to a 10-12 (USA) size again!

I am showing my belly here because it's been one of my problem areas. The love for beer probably hasn't helped me out

Soooo, I still have a ways to go (about 30-40lbs) but feel free to add me so we can do it all together!!

Kate

Hi, Kate... first let me say that you look fantastic, but I also want to add that in the pic when you were @ 205, you were absolutely beautiful. You have such a pretty face.

Keep it up... I have 15 lbs to lose, and for someone who has never had to diet in their entire life, this is foreign territory to me. I'm following the 1200 calorie diet to the letter, and although I lost 4 lbs in week one, the scale hasn't moved much since. (this is week 3 for me) I hope I have the same success that you're having.

Thank you - that is really lovely seeing as when I look at my before photos I tend to feel ashamed and just...ugly. Good luck with your weight loss! For me, it has taken a while since these first photos were taken (with lots of losses and gains during the years) but I try to see it as "the time will pass anyway". So why not eat healthy - it might take a while to get to the goal but it will be worth seeing the number go down
