I'm not the only person who fell off the wagon during the holidays - many of us did. I gained a few pounds and feel a lot bigger, even if I am not in reality. I just felt disgusting.
Then I stumbled upon some old pictures and realized how far I have come!
(I'm 5'5" by the way)
December 2008 - have no idea how much I weigh here, it's about the heaviest I have been.
March 2011 at a costume party - Probably 186 lbs
and today January 2, 2012 at 159lbs
I have 29lbs to lose in 5 months as a birthday gift to myself May 1st. Let's show this year who's boss!! Woot!!
Git 'er done!! :bigsmile:

I never weighed myself when I was at my most heavy but I remember having to buy a pair of size 18 jeans. That was it. The kicker. I was 17 or 18 when I started to work out and stop eating junk food. Since then I have been as slim as 144lbs and as heavy as 186lbs. This time I am getting healthy and staying there for good!!0 -

Amazing transformation!0 -
I think as women we are much tougher on ourselves about the little weight gains. I think many of us gained weight over the holidays. You look FANTASTIC though! My goal is to be as smokin' hot as you! Keep up the great work and keep inspiring us!
Happy New Year!
