I'm still a bit far from my goal, but after looking back at some pictures, I felt they might inspire someone similar in age/weight/height/goals :)
I'm just barely under 5'3" and my ultimate goal is 125, but I would be happy with 130.

November 2011, 138 (17-20 lbs lost)


I regret not taking better pictures when I started, but I was skeptical that I would lose weight. Each and every day is a struggle, but I now feel like even if it took this long, it is reachable with patience and persistence!

Thanks for looking everyone!

BTW: sorry for the messy bathroom- it's my mom's not mine! I promise ;)

    You are looking good!!!

    I am the same height and have the same weight goal of 125. It says for our height we should weigh between 101lbs and 136lbs.... so right down the middle is good for me. I went from 183 to 134lbs.... 9 left to go....but 130 would make me really happy !

    @ amnaimon thank you! and i try and i try to log everything i put in my mouth and stay at or slightly under my recommended cals. no pop, no juice, only water, plain tea, and a coffee drink once or twice a week :) i have cheat days and try not to deprive myself TOO much :) i also did a bit of 30DS but some family issues got in the way of me finishing it. when i feel like i need to exercise i usually just go on a walk with my dog :)
