Christmas of 2010 I weighed 217 lbs at 5'6 and it did not look very good.
In January when I went through a break-up I decided I would make some big changes in time for my sister's wedding in September and I worked my butt off.
New Years Eve - Dec 31st, 2010.

I managed to get down to 185 in time for my sisters wedding on Sept 30, 2010 and felt gorgeous, but still big.

Shortly after the wedding I got completely off track with my eating/working out and gained back almost 15 lbs. I joined MPF on November 9th weighing 200 lbs, and since then I am back down to 186.

Here is what I look like now - my goal weight is around 155-160 and I am hoping to be there by August of next year!

    You look freakin awesome. I'm 5'6" and looked like you when I was about 217lbs too.... But now that I'm almost 185 I definitely don't look as small as you at 185. I see a huge difference! Great job!

    Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement - that picture from NYE has really kept me motivated!

    Just so you know, I don't think I look 'small' - in that picture I have on size 10 Lululemon yoga pants.
    I wear size 12 jeans and I don't feel 'small' yet!
