Halfway There

Long time viewer, first time picture poster.

At the end of 2013, I found myself at the heaviest weight of my entire life. At 5'9, I stood 243 lbs. I have been an athlete my entire life. Injuries were popping up left and right (too much weight/stress on my joints), I couldn't run to save my life, and I felt like there was this "she's good, but slow" stigma that followed me around.

In June, I started taking my health and fitness seriously. I am halfway through my journey back to the formerly fit woman that I used to be. I am currently at 211 lbs. My goal weight is 175.

    WTG! You look great and I know you will reach your goal. I know I will too. Started out at 293 currently at 215 and want to be at 180. I've gone from a size 26 to a size 14 and cant wait to see a size 10! It may take me some time but I am going to get there believe that! Congrats on your loss so far! Now go get em!

    Excellent job! I'm nearly halfway to my own journey.

    I'm a little shorter at 5'7", and started at 268, (218 as of this morning!) but I can absolutely relate to the "good, but slow" mentality of athletics. I played sports all throughout high school and college, and my weight kept me from being the best athlete I could be.

    Keep going, you look amazing!
