AH it's been a journey! I've lost 90 pounds since around this time last year. Here is a picture of me last summer:

Here is a picture of me now:

I'm so proud of myself, I feel like an entirely new person. This journey has been really difficult and there's been lots of ups and downs but I'm glad that I could prove to myself and my family that this can be done with simply eating well and exercising! I'm doing my first 5k on November 5th :D

Here are two more pictures, a little more than a year's space apart

Thanks for the support everyone and good luck on your journeys! I know it's difficult sometimes but if I can do it you can too :D

    Thanks everyone :D I play rugby and you have to have an extremely strong core for that sport so I've been working it a lot.. This is what we do at conditioning practices.
    -Usually somewhere around 30 minutes of sprinting exercises
    -around 75 body weight only squats and around the same amount of lunges
    -30 crunches, 25 reverse crunches, 20 flutter kicks each leg, 20 oblique crunches each side, 20 bicycle kicks each leg, 25 leg lifts, 45 second side planks and a 45 second elbow plank :D it sucks but it really pays off.. If you can't do all of the reps do 10 or 15 and work your way up week by week! We did this around 3x.

    Proof that hard work and sacrifice pays off in the end. You look fantastic young lady. Now don't ever forget how you got there and how hard it was. Never stop counting those calories and working out, because it's so easy to end up back in that before picture with extra sprinkles on top. Be blessed and congrats to you.

    Yes thank you so much! I've tried to lose weight like this before and it never worked because I always tried quick fixes and I was never emotionally invested but now that I've seen what this side of life looks like I'm never, ever going back (except obviously if I have kids, and then I will allow some controlled weight gain). Thanks for your advice and support !
