    You are amazing!!

    ETA - as you build muscle you may see the scale go up - You should get one of the body fat monitors - the kind you hold out in front and it measures your body fat - i got one on amazon and it was around $40.

    Also, just think of how much easier it will be to be pregnant and have a baby if you're stronger!

    I actually do have one of those. It's an Omron brand and it measures me around 22.3 percent body fat. Goal is to be 20% or less by the end of the year (or before I get pregnant if we do decide for baby #2-we'd start trying in September/October)

    I think it's great that I"m getting compliments, I honestly was very nervous about posting a pic wearing my sports bra!! I've never worn just shorts and a sports bra for a public picture or in a public place before. Even my swimsuits are tankinis....

    Just so you know your weight loss story is kick a@$ and you should be proud. If I had your figure I would be wearing bikins... to heck with a tankini. You should really look at yourself as the woman you are now, not the girl you used to be. Congrats!

    Thank you! I am trying. It is definitely a hard road and a tough transition to see yourself positively. Especially when I can't remember the last time I was this small. When I was 13 I weighed 130, but I also wasn't as tall as I am now... so I was still overweight the last time I was close to this weight.

    Thanks. Cool to see other Tristas around! Growing up my school had me on their roster as Trisha... it took til like 5th grade for them to finally correct their mistake. lol

    Woohoo!! I think you look great at 138...I personally don't think you need to lose another 12, but you should be happy so go you!

    I agree. You look great now and unless your doctors say otherwise, you should be able to have that baby whenever you're ready for it: not at your ideal weight but at a healthy one. Life is short.
    Don't get me wrong though, Your story and pics are quite inspirational. Thanks for sharing. :flowerforyou:
