The biggest I have ever been. 225lbs ish and I had been in a wheel chair for 5 months until June/July 2016. This was Christmas 2016. I honestly had no idea how big I was. I was bedridden for 5 months and I had no mirrors I could see myself in (I mean I was in a wheelchair so I was pretty low to the ground lol). My boyfriend didn't even say anything until I'd lost about 30lbs and he's like huh you do look a lot smaller and shrugged it off. I was pretty big and looking back it's shocking to me. I'm sure it looks worse as I was sitting down and wearing a hoodie but still! Lol. I don't take a lot of pictures and I found this one from my boyfriend's phone.

This is me now at a friend's place! Down about 47-48lbs. 178lbs and 5'4".

My goal is 127lbs unless I'm happy beforehand. :) Wish me luck.
