My best friend and I have been friends since 8th grade, and we have also been fatties together the whole time. I moved to the midwest and we dont get to see each other so we just got back from Vegas (after not seeing each other for 3 years, eep!) and both of us have been on our weight loss journeys for some time now. Together we have lost about 180 pounds. My friend 100 and me 70-80ish (gained some after multiple vacation mcdonalds visits lol.) She has been on weight watchers and does cardio and I've mostly been on here and do cardio and weights. I also plan on getting some heavy lifting started soon ;) Anywho, looky looky here :)

Seeing each other close to our goals has been amazing!

*edit* sorry about big pictures, I'm terrible at this

    This is so amazing that you two got to do this together. Congrats!

    Also, I moved to the midwest and am far away from my best friend too. It's tough so I feel your pain. Thank goodness for skype!

    This is actually our second time around so we both know the horrors of gaining it all back :/

    Isn't it sad that that's how it goes sometimes? I like to compare it to doing marathons in different towns. Yea, we both wanna win but we aren't competing with each other.
