Back in January I got the flu and ended up losing 9 lbs in about 4 days. As terrible as that was, I was in the 130s for the first time since junior high. Being 5'9, I know my weight should be anywhere between 120-160ish, give or take. I used to be an athlete all through school but since college (I'm now a senior) I haven't stepped foot on a court, gym, or track. Although I wasn't large, I could tell that my athletic muscles were now cushioned by a layer of couch-potato fat that made me feel bigger than I was at 145 lbs. I also have asthma so that made me feel especially embarrassed to no longer be able to run like I used to.
So, after my flu went away, I decided to take my health into my own hands and eat clean, work out, and just be more health-conscious in general. I'm still a newbie in all possible ways but with every day I'm learning more about myself, my body, food, and fitness, and I'm excited to see what I'll look like a month, 6 months, a year from now
Stats:
HW: 161
SW: 148
CW: 136
GW: 120-125 (fatloss)
UGW: 135 with lower body fat percentage
Measurements: 32-25-38
Here's my general before and after.

This link shows my weight the past 6 months (too big to post) and you can tell how simply losing weight the unhealthy way shows up terribly on your body.

This is today (2/13) with my total weightloss being 13 lbs, and my old yoga pants no longer fit me. I do currently have pneumonia so I can't go to the gym and my weightloss is not healthy, but I can't wait to get back on track. Good luck to everyone else!!

I find my height to be a kind of advantage since it makes me look much skinnier than I am, especially when fully clothed. But thank you! You keep yup the good work, too, you've gotten so much farther than me!0
