me in 2012 on my trip in Rome!! Oh my god!! My heaviest id say!! And this is my progress next to it, I am not at my goal weight yet which is 130 or so but I am getting there, very slowly might I add because I have PCOS and because of that my fat lays around my middle much easier. I know some people at my weight look much more stunning than me, guess it can't be helped...(and im very short)

I cant believe how much I hollered and screamed when I looked for an older picture for comparison and came across my Rome pictures, I actually teared up thinking how i managed to let myself get like this and not realize?! It was about 3 years ago I looked at myself in a photo and said damn.. I AM MASSIVE. I am all for body positivity but I personally was not happy NOR WAS I HEALTHY. I was diagnosed with PCOS soon after Rome and ive changed my habits around that and have lost 35lbs and I feel all the better of it, better mood, better energy, better self confidence (even though I still feel I look gross).

Lately the loss has been the slowest ive ever seen it. My tummy just will not budge!!
but dont give up hope lads and ladies! Heres to anothER 15LBS! :smile:

If you have an advice on how to shed those last few lbs, let me in on it! haha

    I'm 5"2 and just hit 145 too. I find the more weight I lose the tummy does go away eventually. It's my problem spot too. Feel free to add me. I'm starting to do YouTube Pilates to help with balance and ab muscles too as well as walking/running

    You've done a fantastic job! The last 15 lbs will be the hardest. I would set your goal to lose 1/2 lb per week, be consistent, and add a lifting program if you're not already doing one. I agree you have a beautiful shape :smiley:

    You look really good and it's a massive achievement from your first picture but I totally understand that you're not done yet. I'm also 5'2 and weigh 141 pounds so very similar to you. Do you mind if I add you as a friend for motivation to get that last 15 or so pounds off?

    You look great- what a difference. Those last 10-15 can be very difficult and very very slow! Here are some things I did- added intervals to my exercise, lowered my calories just a bit more, stopped with the BLTs (bites, licks, tastes), and finally I stopped eating back exercise calories completely to lose the last five pounds. I lost 55 in about 20 months- 180 to 125. Now I'm hovering between 121-122. I lost the last 3-4 without trying- I thought I was going to maintain if I ate back all exercise calories but I kept losing since my weight wouldn't budge when I was 128-129 trying to see 125 (just once). Well lost those next 3-4 so now I'm just trying to maintain by eating just a bit more. You'll get there. It takes patience and perseverance but it will happen!

    You look wonderful..be proud. You can lose that last 15…and if you lose it your middle will shrink. Fat does that..leaves the first place you gained it… Maybe if you look back you'll realize your stomach was where you first gained..so it will be the last place you lose. I hate that!! :) All said.. most of us would call that last 15 vanity weight..cause you look great right now!
