Only 8 lbs Until Goal

edited October 3 in Success Stories
I started on this journey 17th month ago. In those 17 months I have lost 113.8 pounds (and probably a few more since I started watching what I was eating for a couple of weeks before I worked up the courage to get on the scale). During that time I has lost over 70 inches off my body and went from a tight size 24 jeans and 2XL tops to an 8-10 jeans/dresses and medium tops. I am going to lose down to 170 and then switch my focus on reducing my body fat percentage. If I manage to lose more pounds while doing that's fine but it's not my main focus. Hopefully I can get the pictures to show up.

    you look awesome! I was wondering if you have loose skin from the weight loss or if you have managed to keep it tone and trim as you look GREAT in your pictures!

    Thanks everyone! As for the skin issues there is some especially on my abdomen(the c-section with daughter #2 didn't help in that area either) which is one of the reasons I am stopping the weight loss. I am worried that it's only going to be worse with more weight loss instead of better. I am going to stabilize my weight and work on bring down my body fat percentage before I check into other options. Honestly though it's not as bad as I feared. I do have some on my arms which has gotten significantly better lately. There is also some on my upper thighs but that's barely noticeable. I have drunk at least 3 liters of water daily and I believe that along with keeping my skin moisturized helped.
