I have always been a little chubby, but I hit my all time highest weight as a senior in high school in 2011. I was 5'4" and weighed 235 pounds. I was super depressed and always felt tired. I got into a vicious cycle of feeling bad about my body, then comfort eating which of course made it worse. Finally, at the beginning of 2012, I decided to do something about it. I cut out pasta almost all together (I was pretty much living on it) and cut down on sweets. I severely upped my water intake. And I started doing at least 30 minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week. By mid-2013 I was down to 165 and feeling great. Now, for the past two years, I have managed to maintain my weight loss (fluctuating between 160-175). However, due to being a busy college student I stopped exercising. But now I have set a new goal. I want to get down to 140lbs by the end of summer and finally be in a healthy BMI range! As of yesterday, I weighed in at 158lbs. I plan to start working out again 3 times a week and eating better again to get to and say at my target weight.

I don't have very good pictures because I always felt very self conscious of full body pics but before:
