What a "tiny" 25lb weight loss looks like!!

Ok, So I have to admit that my weight started to plummet off me pretty quickly. To get this out of the way- I follow a higher protein moderation diet- meaning I cut nothing out except fast food and soda-still eat all the delicious foods like cake, pizza, and ice cream but in strict moderation- and exercised cardio and lifting to get to where I am today. I ride my bike as transportation, lift heavy 3x a week and do zumba dancing and cycle on top of that. I LOVE to be active!

So anyway the big 24 is this Saturday and I was literally crying myself into oblivion. I wanted to see 199 by then. I am not understanding how in one year I only lost about 25-30 lbs. I put my big girl panties on and went clothes shopping which always makes me feel better, hell, it's not food. So there they were, shorty shorts. I haven't worn shorts in years. I bought them on a whim, Smiling, I bought them from the juniors section.

I decided to wear the same exact shirt that I wore on my birthday last year in some updated photos and was BLOWN AWAY by how my body has changed. Do not give up because that *kitten* scale isn't moving. Your body is still changing. Keep fighting.

To date (depending on how my scale likes to act) I have lost 105-110 lbs. I have never felt better. Here are some before and afters, you know you want em!

    Fantastic job! Your work really shows. I am a little confused tho, it looks like your clicker reads 125 pounds lost, but your post says 25???

    25 pounds in a year is a lot when you get closer to goal. But, what really blows me away is how different your face looks. Of course the rest is impressive as well.
