Letting the haters be my motivators :) [with progress pic]

I have only been logging in consistently for a few weeks now. I never really tracked my food, or had any type of support system to keep me on track. I had always been trying to lose weight to please someone else. I'm doing it for ME this time and I started my weight loss journey on Feb. 18th of this year (so about 7 weeks in) As of today am down only 15.8lbs but I can see the difference! I don't just want to lose fat, I want to be toned like I was in highschool. I still have about 85lbs before I reach my goal weight of 160lbs but I know that with all of your guys' support, and being here to keep me accountable... I WILL hit my goal, probably sooner than I thought too!

I have no idea how to post pictures on here, but here's a direct link to my progress pictures so far!

I really just wanted to say thank you to the people who are constantly encouraging me and following up to make sure I'm staying on track. And you know what? I want to thank the people that ever looked at me with disgust, and told me that I couldn't do it. And all the people that took pictures of me to show me how everyone else sees me. Without you, I wouldn't have made the choice to put ME first.

Love y'all :flowerforyou:
