Let me tell you a little story,
I was a stereotypical chubby girl, close friends, close family, but I kept to myself and held myself back a lot. (a high school sob story right?)
Well, this is me on my friend's 17th birthday. (165 lbs, 5'7.5") in black

This is me after I looked in the mirror and decided to change my life. Now I'm just watching vanity pounds, and trying to keep myself healthy. I'm not the "chubby, smart girl with a great personality". I'm the 2.0 version: (at 129/130 and running triathelons and skydiving)

    yes i would not call anyone chubby in the first photo either! but if you feel like you want to slim down that's always dependent on you and how you are feeling. and i'm sure now you feel better. you look very strong and healthy now.

    Your after picture is awesome and it's great that you feel so much better. I think the fact that you thought of yourself as "chubby" at 165 lbs speaks to the sad state of our society and the unrealistic expectations it puts on people to be thin.

    ^^^ THIS. In the first photo you don't look "chubby". You look awesome in all of your pictures, especially the after pics. Good job and congrats on getting out there and living the life you want and doing the things you want!

    First of all..... You were not chubby AT ALL!! I hope someday you'll be able to look at pics from that age and see that you weren't chubby.
    Second! You look amazing! I'm happy you are reaching your goals and you've gotten your focus down! Great job!
