UGHHHH!!! i CANNOT BELIEVE I EVER LET MEYSELF LOOK LIKE THIS. I AM NOT THAT GIRL.

I used to HATE getting my picture taken. Seeing pictures of my old self is what finally made me do something about this sick lifestyle that I was living. The first picutre was taken before last year early november. ( I am in middle ) I think I was about 185? ughhh. The Second Pic is a bach Party about 10 lbs down from my initial starting weight in july.( I am in middle ) The Final pic is me most recent ( at a bar, of course ) with some friends. ( I am far left ) AT 163 lbs.

I know I still have ALOT of work to do. I am to my "Normal" weight, but that is not good enough for me. I need to push myself more. Looking back on older pics is a sure way to push me into the gym!!

    You look great! I am somewhere around 180 now, so you are definitely giving me some great motivation to get down to my first goal, which is 160. Keep up the good work!

    How tall are you? My starting weight was close to 185 and I'm wondering if I will look similar to you when I get in the 160s! I'm between 5'8"-5'9".

    Eeeek! Awesome! That means I will look as fabulous as you! =) My goal weight is 140. If you don't mind, what size do you wear at 163? I am in a 14 at 178. I'm hoping that getting to 140 will put me around a size 8.

    right now, I am a size 9/10. I feel like it is different though with different clothing lines. Some pants are still fitting remotely the same, where as my work clothes from express ar baggy everywhere ( but my darn waist ) :)

    my first goal is 150. I want it more than anything!!!

    WOW!!!! You are my inspiration! You dressed your weight well even when you were heavier, but you look great now!!! I am around the same height (give or take an inch) and I just want to be back in to the 170's. I was 173 in high school so my weight loss goal is to reach 170 and I'm at your starting weight now. Your success story really makes me want to stay in the struggle!!! Thanks and best of luck!!!! I can't wait until I can post MY success story!!! :wink:
