    you look really great now, keep up the good work.
    I know the highs and lows of such a change pretty well myself went from 6'0 35% bodyfat weak as *kitten* to 190 pretty muscular and going for my next cut to 175 ripped to shreds.
    and i can tell you living this healthy lifestyle was by far the best change of my whole life.
    What amazing results...and wow it does make a great difference
    Awesome, job well done!!

    Thank you all for your lovely comments!

    I completely agree. I didn't even realize my clothes don't fit right (just tightened my belt and thought it'd be ok). Then my friend the pants-Nazi pointed her finger at me and told me to get new pants. It was so cool to see that I had dropped several pant sizes!! It was also kind of expensive, but hey... there are worse problems. Anyway, congrats!!!

    You look lovely both ways but your happiness is the best. Eighteen pounds is a lot of hard work and those last few pounds are the toughest I keep hearing. So congratulations.

    There is such a huge difference!!! I am stuck in the phase right now that you mentioned, where I wake up one day super motivated and set some unrealistic goal for myself, then go back to eating unhealthy. This is inspiring because I hope that one day I will be in your position, looking back on these days when I was so lost.

    Ah congratulations on your loss, sounds great! I agree on the expensive part, a pair of shorts I bought a few months ago in a smaller size now don't fit but yes there are worse problems :smile:

    Ah yeah I completely understand those days, I was trapped in that cycle for years and was getting more and more unhappy. I think for me it helped realising that this was never going to be a quick fix and for once I didn't give myself any pressure or tell anyone, I just quietly got on with it. It can be so difficult and I've had terrible eating weeks where I have gained lbs but I never gave up and the following week I got back onto my eating plan and caught back up with it. I wish you lots of luck and really hope you can achieve your goals, just remember that you will get there in the end :smile:
