    I'm not quite down to average size as I'm still a UK 14-16 or US 10-12 but I'm pretty average in shape.

    5ft 8 and 178lbs

    Bump! I still have around 20 or so pounds until my gw.

    Please excuse my paleness! :blushing:

    *edited to make pic bigger*

    I think you are beautiful. I don't even think it looks like you have 20 pounds to lose. And your skin looks great too (nothing wrong with light skin).

    Aww, thank you!!! :flowerforyou: I think 20 might be too much, but I want to lose at least 10 more. I also want to get really serious with lifting and start a program so I can get stronger and to make me look even better. :)
    It's hard for me to except my pale skin though. People have made fun of me because of it, and while I know I shouldn't care what they think, it's hard to be confident about your skin when that happens.

    Oh hey. Someone bumped this. Cool, now I don't have too.

    Happy new year friends! May this year bring you much self love and body acceptance; even if you're 'in between' the extremes there is so much to be proud of.

    When I was in middle school and high school people made fun of me for having very light skin (so I also thought it was a bad thing) and because I wore sunblock, hats, and used sun umbrellas at the beach (even when I was 12 I wanted to protect the health of my skin). But, that was just because they liked to go tanning at the tanning salon and outside. But, I also have always gotten lots of compliments on my skin. And especially now that I am 35, I get tons of compliments on how young I look and how nice my skin is and that I don't have wrinkles. All skin colors are beautiful. And healthy skin is beautiful. That's me in my ticker, see how light my skin is!!

    amazing!!! good for you guys! :)
    i'm still working on body acceptance. especially after having a child. your body never really goes back to normal. and weight gain and loss does have its tolls.

    i hope i can get to the same level of acceptance as all of you :)

    you average size ladies look fantastic! my question is do you still track food and exercise?

    I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, YES! I made the mistake of thinking I could stop once before...I got to within 4 lbs of my ultimate goal weight and walked away from MFP thinking I had it all figured out. I was soooo wrong. Without even realizing it I ended up putting almost all of my weight back on and 9 months later came crawling back to MFP :-( This time around I'm doing things right and realizing that even when I reach my goal weight it doesn't stop there, I still have to be diligent in tracking everything so that I can maintain a healthy weight for life. I'm not near my goal weight yet...but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying my average sized body and my accomplishments every step of the way! :-)

    Missed this but yes. Logging everyday, I try to keep active in the day to day, and I lift four times a week, for 20-30 minutes. And sometimes I jog. But rarely. /lazy
