Hey all!

I've been feeling amazing lately and just have to share. So many people here have inspired me and I would love to be an inspiration to others.

This is me. I'm 5'3" and my highest known weight was 207. The before pictures here are the oldest I could find, and they're close to my high weight. (Third picture is this year's progress - 33 pounds)

I'm now 138 (69 pounds down!) and nearing my goal weight of about 125-128. I've become very active and love running, cycling, yoga, and lifting. I weigh and log all my foods pretty religiously, though I've gotten really good at judging proper portion sizes.

Next week, I'll be on vacation in a bikini for the first time in my life! I can't wait :)

    Eat good food, don't eat if you're not hungry! Listen to your body and get to know how/what food affects you. Weigh your food and go by serving sizes! You get used to it :)
