4 months ago, on April 17th, I was 252 lbs. I wore size 18-20 pants and a 2x top. My knee hurt me, I snored, and I had high blood pressure. I thought I looked chubby but cute, and was always surprised at how bad I looked when I caught site of myself in the mirror.

Today, I'm 200 lbs. Still overweight, but down 52lbs. I'm wearing size 14 jeans and an XL shirt. My knee is MUCH better, I'm off my blood pressure meds, and I don't snore anymore. Now when I pass a mirror, I'm surprised in the other way... I forget that I actually am kinda cute. lol

I posted this pic here recently but it's the only before and "during" pic that I have. I'll take a new one soon, since I'm so close to being under 200. My next goal is 180, which is a weight that I've been before and I look healthy at.

    Oh my goodness....I'm so glad you said you thought you were still cute, even when chubby......I thought I was too. But now I have gone completely over the line. I hope I can still think that someday....the time keeps ticking.
    Congratulations on your success!!
