    Amazing. I know what you mean, I never thought of myself as big before I lost weight a couple years ago too. It creeps up on you when you aren't thinking about yourself. It's shocking to see photo's and to think that was me thinking I looked fine and was healthy..
    Awesome that you have done this at such a young age without support. Also means your body would adapt much easier than someone older losing a lot of weight so that is an added bonus! Like you said no-one understands what it takes if you haven't been bigger, you have to go through a lot of mental and emotional changes. You look fantastic by the way :-) !!

    Exactly, I feel like it was a good thing to start early. I'm 23 now, and of course that's still young. I can now continue my lifestyle and carry it with me through my life, and possibly if I have any children in the future. I definitely want to be a role model that change is possible

    That and your skin bounces back easier :-)

    This is just the post I needed to see! I'm graduating with my bachelor's in May and starting business school this fall. I struggle so much with seeing many of my friends just not understanding what it feels like to be big and hate what you see in the mirror everyday. It's nice to see someone in the same phase of life as me who actually reached their goal. I'm hoping I can post in this forum eventually too. Great job! :)

    It was really hard on my friends. Especially since I was busy with school and then my free time I was at the gym. It's hard to balance sometimes but my true friends understood and encouraged me. Others didn't tolerate it, and that's fine lol people come and go. My education, body, and mind are all very important to me

    I'm happy I decided to make a change and not wait until it was worse, or my health started to decline. I'm very happy with choosing to take care of my self!

    any advice for when the challenge of getting fit seems too great? The times when you saw no progress or see no further progress? Feels like I'm spinning my wheels...incessantly.

    When I felt stuck I'd change my routine. My gym offers classes and id take some of those since I'm typically a runner. I'd also change my food habits around as well and I've seen changes doing both since sometimes we need to trick our bodies to changing by making it do something it's not used to
