Halfway to my goal, down 40 lbs w/ pics.

For the record, I'm 24, 5'5 (maybe 5'6). Starting weight was around 220, possibly slightly more. This morning I just weighed in at 179.8!

I got serious about losing weight & getting healthy at the end of August last year. I haven't done much exercising, just mostly counting calories thus far!


From June of 2013, probably around 220-225 here, my highest weight. x_x


And that's from this past Saturday! Around 180 lbs. Awkward clothing choices because I was picking out an outfit for a date! (which went very well, I might add haha)

Sometimes I get fed up with plateauing and forget how far I've come. In my mind, I feel like I still look the same as I did 6 months ago, so pictures like this are really helpful in remembering how well I've done.

It's so overstated around here but I'm another person who believes "if I can do it, so can you". I never ever thought I'd get down to a healthy weight, and while I still want to lose another 40 lbs or more, this is the lowest weight I've been in who knows how long! I've gone from a size 20 (almost 22) to a size 14 (16 in some sizes... but I also got a pair of size 10 pants from goodwill that fit. WHAT ARE SIZES?!). I used to be addicted to junk food and I ate fast food nearly every day. I don't eat 100% healthy now, but I've noticed I just tend to make healthier choices without putting much thought into it, and I assume that'll get better with time too. So it's possible!
