Well, this is not my success story haha. I still need lots of time to get there!

But here's one... I found this website
http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/beforeandafter

You should check this out!
Really inspiring and motivating.
Thought I'd share! Because this girl showed me how much better and happier she looked after losing weight.
This could be us in a while ;)

- Good luck fitness pals!

    Oh my god! WHat a difference. I think she has done really well BUT in the last picture in her bikin she looks as if she is nearly anorexic. Sorry :-()

    Yes, she did say she reached a point where she lost too much weight. but i think she's average now!

    Just to add ive had a good read of the rest of her site and while the pics are awesome her writing and how she wasnts to play it forward writing for tennagers helping them to be healthy, all the sugar free recipies etc etc are the real inspiration - added to favourites :) she seems like such a nice girl too :)

    i think it's wonderful she took action to lose weight and get healthy...but judging from photos, she took it too far. she no longer looks healthy. i think she looked wonderful at 137. 113 isn't natural looking on someone of her frame size and height. personally, i think a little meat on the bones is healthy. but, if she's happy and isn't set on losing anymore, then good for her.

    Beautiful girl..but toooooo skinny in the end. Needs to find about 15-20 pounds in my eyes. She is flirting with looking sick. Very inspirational to get there tho..wow!!

    I think this is great. She realized she'd lost too much weight. I'm not there yet but it seems like it might be hard to adjust from weight loss mode to maintenance mode. like now i eat about 1500-1600 calories, but according to mfp and any BMR calculator, i will need to eat like 1900 calories to maintain just 135 lbs! so if i kept eating 1500-1600, i would lose too much! i think that will be a challenge in the end.

    That girl is so beautiful. I think she looks amazing and I think as long as she's healthy and happy it doesn't matter that some people might think her as too skinny.

    ok. i read some of her blog. i realized i was hard on her. i didn't mean anything about her as a person--she's wonderful and inspirational and gorgeous!! i just thought she could looked a little too skinny. but again, none of my business and kudos to her for turning her life around!

    As long as she says she put some weight back on after the bikini picture... She does look rather anorexic in it. Not to judge, but it wouldn't really be a success to go from obesity to anorexia.

    Good for her, but she looks kinda underweight

    I love Taralynn! I visit her site every day for some recipes and whatnot. I didn't use a lot of them because she would put splenda in EVERYTHING which is way too artificial for my diet, but I guess she listened to her followers cause she recently switched to using Truvia :) She's so inspirational and she answers tweets! such a nice girl!
