    Congratulations! I am very happy for you! It's fair to say that while us MFPers don't know exactly what you've gone through, we can appreciate the challenges of your journey. This is damn hard, and is a struggle every single day. You're an inspiration for many. Congratulations again. You deserve it!

    Oh, where do I begin?

    I have always been a little bit overweight. Even in high school.
    Untitled.jpg

    I really got out of control while in college.This is me at my heaviest. About 300-ish. Give or take a couple pounds. A size 28. Terribly unhappy with myself.

    While in a bad living situation, I lost some weight. It may not have been the healthiest thing for me, but it did give me a good kick in the a**. I felt I could finally be healthy and lose all the weight. Maybe I could find my confidence.

    This picture really sparked it for me. I had to do something. I joined MFP and began to work my butt off...literally.

    What follows is my journey in pictures.

    At about 139:

    My very first time comfortably in a bikini. Granted, not the best picture of me, but I'm damn proud of it.

    And, now. Me 127.6 pounds. My goal is 125. I'm a size 4/5/Small US.

    It's really the small victories that make this so worth it. The ability to run up and down my apartment stairs without being even slightly winded. The ability to wear any boot I fancy. <3 I don't feel cramped in seats anymore, and just so many other things.

    I'm so overwhelmed by emotions just writing this. It's been such a long journey. Over a lifetime really.

    I have so many people ask how I did it. Many ask me if I did anything special. I almost feel bad when I tell them no. In reality, it's all about portion control, the ability to say no and exercising. Nothing special. Live and love your life.
    *Edit*
    It's taken me about a year and half from the time that I joined MFP (about 204 pounds) to get to here. Over all, with on and off dieting, it's been almost four years.

    For those wanting to know sizes and measurements:
    5'4''
    Size then: 26/28 jeans US XXL in shirts and dresses
    Sizes now: 4/5/27" jeans US Small in most shirts and dresses.
    I'm sorry that I don't have exact measurements, but these do well enough I think. :P
    */Edit*

    I may not be the best at expressing my journey in words, but I hope these pictures can inspire and keep up the hopes of others.
    What an amazing and powerful transformation!! Great job!!!:drinker:

    ASTOUNDING! Your achievement is just plain incredible. WELL DONE! I hope you're enjoying all the benefits and rewards of your wonderful, hot new body - I can certainly see that your wardrobe has gotten more stunning!.It doesn't appear that you have loose skin which is great. How frequently have you been exercising over the past 6 months or so?
