I'm terrible at telling stories, so I'll let the pictures do all the talking 
Starting weight:239
Current weight:185
Goal weight:165-170
I'm 5'10"
Starting shirt size:XL
Starting Jeans:18-20
Current shirts:M-L
Current jeans:12
In the beggining....




And finally, the picture that really made me change---1 day before my 22nd birthday. I look so miserable

So, i decided to change things up. Start counting calories, cut out pop and stop eating so many damn french fries. Those 2 things are the only things i have completely cut out of my diet, and they have made a worlds difference. I do have to admit at times i will steal a fry or 2 if they are around me but nothing like before





And as of today, just 5 months in I have managed to squeeze into my first size 12 jeans! I'm so excited and this is the whole reason for my post--and for me to remember just how far i have come

I still have 15-20 more pounds to go, but I'm getting so close that I can taste that sweet smell of victory!
