So I wanted to do a post of me before and me now. I've lost about 67 pounds so far and still want to lose about another 20 pounds but I will get there!!! The first pics are me at my sisters wedding in May of last year (2009) and the new ones are me from March to May of this year. There may be a lot of them so sorry but I want to make sure not only others see that its possible but so I can see too. Its hard for me to really see the difference becuase I see myself everyday. So here it goes!!!

Weight: about 215 pounds

And here it goes! I'm nervous for these ones!!

So there they are!! Please remember you all can do this!!! I'm nt done yet, but I never thought I would EVER come as far as i have!!! Be patient and as long as you stick with it, it WILL happen!!!!!

    Im at work so the pics are blocked but I went to your profile and checked them out and WOW!!!! You look fantastic. I am pretty much in the same boat.
    I lost a LOT of weight my senior year of high school and I looked killer but after I got together with my boyfriend (now husband) I have gained 100 lbs....holy crap, is it really that much? I don't think I have ever added it up until now and this may be my huge eye opener!!!!
    Keep it up! You are pure motivation.

    Wow! You've totally motivated me! I've let 30 pounds creep up on me, and I was almost ready to say "well, I guess this is what my body looks like..." Thanks for the inspiration!

    Thanks for posting these! You look awesome!:flowerforyou:
    I started at the same weight as you, 215 and am now at 175. I can't wait to hit the 150's or 140's.
    You are an inspiration! :happy:
    I was in a wedding a few years ago at my heaviest weight. I hate all the pics of me and I hated being in the wedding because I was the only "big girl". I should have enjoyed it because it was my best friends wedding but was too busy worrying about what I looked like. I will definitely be using pics from the wedding as my before's as well!
    Congrats again! Keep it up girl and enjoy your summer in your new bod!!

    Great job! It appears we started about the same time (March) and have lost almost the same! You are motivation for others that it can be done, but it takes "Daily Discipline"!

    thanks everyone!!! its so good to hear others besides my friend and family say things like this! :) and yes I dont know how I got 2 posts on here, I did one and hit edit and when I saved it, it saved 2 of them..... very strange.... lol.

    Thanks Lisa!!!! :):):):):)

    everyone can do this! trust me, if I can out of anyone, then everyone can! I had the same attitude about being that way forever. I thought thats just how I was supposed to be. But when I saw the pics from my sisters wedding, thats when I said enough if enough!!!

    The first thing out of my mouth when I saw your current was "Oh my god". Girl, you look FABULOUS!! And you have nothing to be nervous about showing off in a bikini. You've obviously worked hard and you deserve all the praise 'cause it was all you, babe!!! Great job. :happy:

    PS - You look like one of those "naturally skinny" people and I mean that as a compliment. How'd you get your arms & thighs so small? Those are my hardest areas to sculpt. Sigh.

    Is your name Arielle because my name is Ariel!!!!! :) hehehe well my arms are a lot smaller, i think its from push ups, ughh I hate push ups! and its funny that you say my thighs are small because i think they're HUGE still! hahaha im going to do running to try to get them leaner, but any kind of leg work out will get them smaller. maybe if you can get to a gym try some leg press machines or ride a bike. :)
