Amazing! You look great I am starting at about the same weight and size as you did (just 3" shorter) and hope to be as successful. Thanks for the inspiration!

Roflmao

I also agree.

My boobs are gone.
If only my hips and thighs would go away that easily.

You look incredible. Congratulations

Honestly - I can relate to you *SO* much!

Same age, same clothing sizes. I'm 3 inches taller than you, so my numbers are slightly higher, but our stories are so freaking similar.

In high school, I was a comfy size 12 US (16 UK). I was always confident and fairly happy with my weight, despite being the "curvy" friend. The curves became part of my identity. I rocked the curves. I've gained a bit of weight over the years, but I still thought I looked good, and it wasn't anything to worry about.

Until...much like you....I started to hate having my photo taken. It happened slowly.

I used to LOVE being the center of attention - until the bad photos were more frequent than the good ones. For someone as wacky and outgoing as I am - it's totally crippling to lose your confidence. My recent vacation photos blew my freaking mind. I had no idea how heavy I looked these days. Did I really let myself get THAT big?!

I'm now a size 16 US (20 UK). I'm only 2 weeks into this journey, but you are INSPIRING, and I hope I kick *kitten* the same way you did.

xxxxxxx

Congrats! Wow! We have pretty much the exact same starting stats! I'm 5'6" and started at a little under 190 pounds. I was a size 8 in high school, and right now I'm a size 14 in jeans (though somehow I'm a size 16 in dress pants). My goal weight is 140, and I'm currently 184!

You're so inspirational!

You look amazing, and yes, you did carry your weight well! Congrats on your marriage!

Very inspirational & beautiful! That is my same goal size. Thank you for sharing!

Good job! I love how you mentioned that 14/16 isnt an OMG Im going to die size but for you, it was unhealthy and you wanted change! I love when people change thier lives for health and not just for "appearances" You did wonderful! Good work!
