    honestly, it took me a long time, because i was not motivated to do so. .. But little by little i shed the pounds..

    1. Actually get active, I sat on my butt all the time, and now I go outside and stay active through the day.
    2. I cut back on so many sugary snacks. I use to eat a scoop of icecream every night almost, and never paid attention to my eating habbits.
    3. I started growing a garden, all organic to eat better foods
    4. Believe in yourself.. YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS

    Your face was pretty even in the first picture - but it is amazing now! How great that you are doing it now in your 20's - instead of being like me and still trying in my 70's! Keep up the good work - you have found an awesome place in MFP with all its help and motivation available! I'll be watching for your progress- from another Texas farm girl - or maybe I need to say older-woman!

    Thanks for sharing! You look great! I started at 244 and have lost 18lbs but can't wait until I am down to 209. I definitely see a difference between your before and current photos! Gives me some encouragement to keep working hard!
