I've really been needing some motivation since I don't really see much of a difference when looking in the mirror. I know the weight is gone when I see the scale, but not when I actually look at myself. My journey has been up and down, with my highest weight at 220 and lowest at about 160. I weigh about 185 right now, so down 35 pounds.

these pictures are both from my highest weight of 220, both during my senior year of high school:

the next three are at my current weight, give or take a few pounds:

I have issues with binge eating, but the times when I actually consume more than I should are fewer now. Seeing everyone's successes on this site give me hope that I will get past this :)

Thanks for looking :D

    Binge eating can be tough to fight. I gained most of my weight in middle school binge eating after school. Sometimes all I want to do is eat, but I just remember my goals and stay strong. You look wonderful, just keep your focus.

    thanks everyone :) I see a difference when I compare pictures, it's just looking in a mirror that I don't see a difference.

    You look great!! I like your haircut in the middle picture, too! Good luck with the binge eating - it's not easy to overcome, but SO worth all of the hard work! Trust me, I've been there.
