I am THRILLED to announce that I am within reaching distance of my goal weight!!!! It's been a long hard journey, and although I fell off track a couple times I managed to pick myself up and get my butt in gear. I started my journey on July 21st 2012 at 236 lbs. I now weigh 173 lbs and am only about 13 lbs away from my goal weight of 160! I am only 5'3, but my ideal body type is curvy.




BEFORE @ 236 lbs

    You look beautiful, we are the same height and have similar goals, I also like to keep my curby figure. How exactly did you do it? How many calories did you do, what excercise? did you eat back your excercise calories? Sorry for all the questions. :smile:

    Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. I've been thinking about my goal weight lately, trying to figure out what it is actually. It's been so long since I was thin that I don't really know where I'll be comfortable, but I do know that it might just be higher than most women would choose. It's nice to see that you look so amazing at the weight you're at (I'm 5'4"). I've been thinking that 160 might be good for me. I guess I'll have to get there to see what it's like.

    Again, you look amazing. Thanks for inspiring me today.

    Wow 173 Looks great on you! I agree as well as I have the curvy body type so it is nice to see someone else with a bit higher scale goals.
