edited September 2024 in Success Stories
I am reaching the end of my journey...I think :laugh: I have been at it for exactly 9 months now!

I have days that I feel good about my accomplishments & days where I feel like I could do so much more & push myself further...I am struggling to settle on a "goal weight" for this reason. Right now I'm thinking another 5-10lbs, but we'll see :ohwell:

So I decided to post some before/after pictures to encourage myself with how far I've come and hopefully inspire some people along the way! Oh, and I have gone from a size 16 to a size 8!!!

Also, I am moving to FLORIDA in 2 weeks and am anxious/eager to hit the beach...I think a tan will help this white minnesota girl alot too!

FYI - I am 5'9 1/4"

Before: 204.8lbs in July of 2010

And Now: 159.8lbs on April 4th
