It's been almost 17 months since I started this journey to a better me. I have learned so much, met some GREAT friends and have gained some much needed self esteem & confidence.

Yesterday I reached 153lbs, making a loss of 65lbs so far. You never really realize HOW much you've changed until you wear old clothes or check out old pictures for comparison, so of course I had to do both. =)

Neck- 14.8 to 12.5 (-2.3")
Waist- 42 to 31.5 (-10.5")
Hips- 47.5 to 38.5 (-9")
BMI- 39.1 to 28
Body Fat- 52.3% to 31%
Clothing- size 18/20 jeans & 2XL shirts to size 10 jeans & medium shirts.

I still have 20-30lbs to get to my goal, but I am thrilled with the progress I have done so far!

    Hollllly **** girl, you look awesome!

    I myself have finally just switched endo's (for the 3rd time) and it's been magical. Down 11 pounds since December 1st. God bless his little blood testing heart.

    I DO BELIEVE there is a life after this disease.

    Fantastic progress - Amazing job - well done for all your hard work and determination.

    You started at the same time I did back in Dec 2012 - I think I'm at 401 days logging - you have lost almost double mine - although I have been in maintenance for a couple of months but am going to lose a few of the Christmas pounds that have magically appeared.

    Superb job though
