The first photos were a few years ago, and the new ones are from today. I lost the first 35 or so pounds from counting calories, but I realized that it didn't work for me anymore because counting calories still made me obsessed with food. So now I am just active and don't eat as much. I am posting because I know how inspiring progress pictures were for me.

You look great! Well done you I'm also a short girl (5'1") and I find it's so much harder to *look* slimmer at this height - so I appreciate how well you've overcome that hurdle!0

you look great ! I am also 5'3. Would you share how many calories you ate per day to lose the first 35 pounds ? Also, what kind of exercise are you doing now ? TIA0

I ate around 1200, but I did fun exercises to be able to eat a bit more :P I've never been into the gym or anything, so I did things like walking and dancing to the game 'Just Dance' on the Wii Now I'm mostly walking, and since I'm hyperactive anyway, I bounce/dance/skip/run around all day anyway. When I'm standing there doing dishes, I'm usually bouncing up and down on my feet lol!0 -
Thanks everyone0

Super!!!! You're the same height as me, and around the same weight that I want to get to eventually. I'm at 213 right now and my first goal is 140. After that I think the 129-132 range will be great. You look fantastic! So nice that you found something that works so well for you0

I pretty much eat what I want to eat, but don't overdo it. I don't usually eat breakfast, not saying that's a good or a bad idea, I just don't like to eat in the morning. If I want to have a cheeseburger or something, then I'll have a cheeseburger. I won't get everything else to go with it, or the whole meal if I've had a bunch of food already that day..... I can't really say I have a certain way of eating, I just eat what I want in smaller portions. I move a lot in the day. In my mind I don't keep track of calories so much as the quantity of food I ate and what it was.0 -

Great job!! U should be very proud! I am also short @ 5'2"
I'm about 170 now & my dream weight is 125 but my goal for now is 140. I'm close to 50 years old & it is true that your metabolism slows down as you age.0 -
