I'M ALMOST 1/2 WAY THERE… HERE ARE A FEW PIX OF MY JOURNEY, STARTING IN 2003 WHEN I DIDN'T NEED TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT AT ALL TO TODAY WHEN I'M 1/2 DONE!
This was me in 2003 weighing what is now my goal weight, 120.
At 120 I felt beautiful and healthy. (I would settle for 125 now with more muscle tone.)
This is also me in 2003 weighing about 120. I am 5 ft 7.
NOW this is me in 2009 sleeping on my couch, look how big my butt got! I weigh about 150 here.
In this picture from 2009 you can see my gut profile. Yuck. And NO, that isn't my baby, I wish I'd had the excuse of having a baby but I don't I was just baby sitting him. I still weigh about 150 here.
Lastly this is me at my heaviest this past January/February (2010) I weighed 158 pounds and I did not need that coat to keep warm, I had plenty of blubber to do that!
I didn't even decide to lose the weight till October so I lived with it and was miserable.
AS OF TODAY I HAVE LOST 18 POUNDS AND WEIGH 140. I'M NOT DONE YET BY ANY MEANS BUT I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ALREADY!!
The next photo was taken on December 1st, as you can tell I'm not at my goal weight of 125ish, but I finally feel like I have some of my confidence back.
Best of luck to everyone else out there with your weight loss journey!!!!

To answer the dress / shoes questions, they are both from Victoria's Secrets - they have some super cute dresses and shoes online! The shoes have a 5 inch heel, but you know what - SUPER EASY to walk in! The dress is a black lace over nude and the shoes are black suede. Thank you for the compliments!

first let me say that you look great and still beautiful even on your heaviest pic! But all that matters is how you feel i guess, your last pic is awesome! Keep it up, you look really healthy. Congratulations!0

You look so gorgeous! if i were to add my opinion i think you could easily stop at that weight in the last pic, your curves are to kill for! so skinny but yes so curvy! prettyyy sure thats what the men like great work! im 5'7 as well, and i wanna be 125, I weight 140 now, we DEFF carry our weight differet unfortunatly, allll my weight is in my mid section with lack of curves else where, besides bein a lil top heavy. jealous:)0

You look beautiful! Keep up the good work and before you know it you will be at goal.0
