I am not going to write a long story about what my wake up call was (that is already in my about me section lol) all i will say is this journey has truly been incredible. I have suffered with low self esteem my entire life, i was always the "fat friend" who got told she had a "pretty FACE"(i despised when ppl told me that esp when it was said while staring me up and down). i had no idea that loosing over 70 pounds would allow me to find the self esteem that I never had! I am only 10 pounds away from my goal weight and i finally for once in my life am beginning to feel comfortable in my own skin. I still would like to tone my stomach more however, tone or not tone this summer for the first time in my adult life I plan to rock a bikini like its no ones business and i can NOT wait!

I just wanted to post these pictures to show that not only can it be done but if ever you are having a day where you want to give up (and i say this because i have had many) you owe it to yourself to keep pushing through! :flowerforyou:

I am 24 years old 5'2

starting weight 208 pounds
