These are my first pictures up here. When i joined MFP I wasn't entirely committed, but ever since I got braces at the start of November I've been watching what I eat and working out before school with my friend. The first few pounds I brushed off as a scale fluke and water weight."So what, weight fluctuates. I won't believe this until I'm down 10 pounds." And here I am, 9.5 (I say 10 aha!) pounds lighter! I'm happy I took pictures of me at my start weight. And I want to take pictures every 10 pounds. I was eating raisins when I got the pictures side by side and literally, they dropped from my mouth.
I must be sucking in right? Nope, I was making sure I was fully out there. Without further ado... ~
Start weight: 181lbs

    And I bet your spine is much happier with you too. I carry my weight around where yours is, and ouch, I'm paying for it!

    Yes! I'm also in dance and posture is everything. In drama its about lengthening the spine and it's all a little hard when you have weight pulling it into a curve.

    Thanks a lot guys :) I'm learning to look for foods that are healthy. I was just looking at a box of truffles one day that have 19g of fat and 250 calories per 5! I gawked! and certainly didn't have more than one or two that day. I just know it's going to feel great the farther I get :)
