Almost Half-Way! With LOTS of pics

So I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of May at 163lbs. Within 3 days I gained 3 pounds and went up to 166lbs. When I stepped on the scale that day something in me changed. Something told me that this was no longer a concept or idea that can be on the back burner, but this was my life. My one life. My one body. I was only 20 years old - I didn't want to waste it.

So I started exercising and eating healthy. I had my ups and downs. Good days and bad days, but I kept on going. Even if the scale went up I didn't let it bring me down. I pushed harder. Ran harder. and Ate cleaner. Before posting these pictures I looked back at my FIRST EVER post on MFP. It said:

"I will not only talk the talk, but I will also walk the walk all the way to 120lbs."

I am currently 144lbs! I am very excited to get back into the 130's. I didn't realize how much weight I have actually lost until I looked at the pictures from the start.

We put on weight fast, but we must realize it comes off slow. When you feel like stopping or giving in, those are the moments that count the most!:drinker:
