Hi everyone. I thought this was funny!!!!! But awesome at the same time.

208 pounds.

135 pounds.

BOOYA grandma!
I've been maintaining successfully for a year. And I wasn't "originally" overweight. It came up with my self-esteem dropping and getting married. :)

Hope this inspires someone!

**Edited this post to mention I did this through eating home cooked food, going vegetarian, AND running!!! I do not kill myself with exercise or starve myself to death. It was ALL about consistency and moderation.

And I did learn how to use make up! haha. Comes with the whole self-improvement thing too I guess. :)

    I would barely believe that you two are cousins, much less the same person - you look nothing alike!

    Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    I need to update my DL pic but I don't want to pay the $20+ dollars and sit in the DMV haha. I have used it to inspire myself to never look back. It expires when I complete my Masters in Accounting anyways. I started that journey a bit before this and its crazy what can happen when you put your mind to it.

    I'm glad to inspire you all. You've all inspired me in one way or another. I have to say I would of NEVER done this without MFP. I plan on continuing to use this website for as long as I can.

    Thanks so much for posting these pics. It's just what I needed to see. I get discouraged not seeing enough movement on the scale, knowing I would like to drop 20 lbs..... the 20lbs seems like an enormous amount to tackle and you have helped me put it back into perspective.

    Please share the approach you took to achieve such an amazing lasting result.
