128 lbs GONE w/ Pics

Needing a little boost of motivation to get rid of these last 15 ish lbs that are getting harder and harder to get off!
The weight was easier to get off in the beginning!
I'm 5'6" aned 27 yrs old. I've been "living a healthier lifestyle" now for 3 years. I started at *GASP* 284 lbs, and am currently 156.
Those numbers are amazing to me.
I do not think of it as a "diet" nor do I restrict certain foods from my meals. This is a lifestyle change and being overweight my whole life, I am DETERMINED to never get that large ever again.

I work out EVERYDAY (Just recently have I begun taking 1 rest day- which is usually Sundays) I eat now between 1400-1800 calories. I depend on MFP for support from a few close friends because honestly, that's all I can keep up with.
I'd like to share some pictures that explain my story a bit better, and it will also help to show ME that I have done so much and will kick these last 15 lbs!

Thanks for reading!
