So here I am at my heaviest on my 27th Birthday 2/7/09 about 247 lbs. I have always been a big girl and really didn't think that would be something I could change. The tiny dark haired girl in the picture is my sister who is only 20 months younger than me and maybe weighs 110 lbs soaking wet.

This picture really got me thinking I need to change my life! So eating better and a lot of walking and biking later I am down to 170 here in October 2011!

I have a new Goal to be 149 by October of this year! I know I am not on a diet it is a life change and when I get down about it I like to look how far I have come. Any support from anyone out there on the same journey is always welcome and I will give the same support back!

    Wow, you look so tiny!! Such an inspiration!

    p.s. the filename for your 'before' picture made me laugh. Your new one should be "hottieme"!

    You look amazing! I hope I can follow in your foot steps. I am 26 (27 in 9 days!) and I am in the 260's. My goal is 170 because I stand 5'10". I can't wait to see what you look like in the 140s! Good luck girl! Keep posting!

    Believe me! If I can do it you can do it! I won't lie I don't like working out but I like how I feel after. Start with small goals and go from there. I celebrated everytime I noticed I lost weight! Not with stuffing food in my face but by doing something for myself. I would get new nail polish or dye my hair, buy new video games (yup I love my xbox) or just take a me day. After all, this weightloss is about you!! You can totally do this. You are young and beautiful let all that out! :) Anytime you need support I am right here ! I'm sure I will need some as well lol
