I'm 5'1 and I started at 199lbs 8 years ago. I needed to make a change. A few years ago I finally decided to do just that and I am so glad I did. I wanted to give up so often, but I kept seeing my girls watching me and cheering me on and I just had to keep going. Before long I started seeing a difference and I even became my own cheer leader so to speak. Well that may sound silly but it helps if you have your own support.
I worked hard, ate better, drank more water and what do you know it worked. Now here I am at about 125.5lbs give or take a few pounds for the normal weight fluctuation that I have. I know I still have some work ahead of me, but I sure hope that this may inspire others to keep going. Just don't give up people, because it will happen.
Sorry the pictures are not that good.
