The heaviest weight picture was taken on June 18th 2011. I realized how much weight I had gained around July 6th 2011 when I stepped on the scale and saw the heaviest I have ever been... 170.4 pounds I'm only 5'6" and I STILL cannot look at this picture and believe that I let myself get this way because I was about 147 in March of this year... glad this was a brief point in my life.

The second picture was taken about 3 days ago (August 11th 2011) and I am at 149 with 21.4 pounds down.. still looking to lose about 20 more. (not happy with my legs yet)

    You look wonderful!!
    But.. don't you think losing another 20 pounds will make you underweight? You're 5'6 right?
    I would be careful with that. You look AMAZING and you've done an awesome job!!
    Thanks for sharing that with us!! :)

    So you lost around 20 pounds in about a month? What's your weekly exercise goals and daily calorie intake? Picture looks great!!

    Thank you guys so much. I just do 35 mins on the elliptical 3-4 days a week. I completely cut out sodas and juices, just water and 2% milk every once and a while. I don't eat fast food and barely eat at restaurants. And I actually shop In the produce section. My BMI calculator said all the way down to 115 pounds is normal.
