Hey guys, I'll try not to bore you with a mundane story, but I just have a couple of words to say before the part you really came for :)

Okay, so I decided to post this for some reason at 104 lbs lost rather than 100. I guess then, it didn't really hit me how much I've changed, until my future sister-in-law cajoled me into doing a photo shoot for her. I received the pictures yesterday and I have to say I am over the moon! I have never seen myself as that glamour girl. Sure, even at my highest weight (261 lbs) I still received compliments from the opposite sex, but that doesn't compare to how I look in those photos. That smiling girl really believes she looks beautiful, instead of secretly wondering if she is. And so even though I'm not finished with my journey, I know I can look back and see how far I've come, to know I can go even further. All in all, if a 20 y/o female who's been overweight for most of her life can do it, so can you :D

BEFORE: 261 lbs (Probably more...eek!)

    Wow!! You are so beautiful. Congrats on your weight loss. It is so hard. I am just starting. Do you have any advice. I am a 21 year old female. I just would like to live the way that I feel. And not be limited by my weight any longer. That Is why I am loosing my weight. I do have a question for you if you don't mind. What all are you doing? Just counting calories and exercising? I am just so scared if that dreaded plateau. And how long has it taken you so far to loose the 104 pounds?
