    I am 5'5! I always told myself that I was "big boned" and wasn't meant to be small but now that I am here I don't want to imagine ever going back. I have worked so hard to be where I am and just want to encourage and help others reach that point where they are more confident, healthier, happier, motivated and just a joy to be around because of an overall positive attitude can't be helped when you get to your goals!

    I'm 5.5. When I was in my 20's I weighed 120 lbs. Three kids later, here I am. My goal now is 145. When I get there I thought I would decide if I should go for another 25. ... You look great by the way. What size do you wear?

    Wow, I'm inspired! thanks for posting! I always give myself excuses like "I have big frames" or whatever, just to ease my guilt when I eat crap..., but now i feel like no matter what I should keep going!

    WOW! That;s awesome ! Good for u. I started at 190 after 2 kids. Hoping to get down to at least 150 for now. I'd be a dream to hit 130 again. haven't weighed that much since middle school.
    Congrats! U look gorgeous!

    I would elliptical upwards of 600 calories a day. Since I began I have maintained a 1200 calorie a day diet. At first those 1200 calories were unhealthy ones but now I am able to pump my body full of healthiness and LOVE IT. I haven't "worked out" hardcore in weeks and have been focusing on maintaining my weight. I know I can lose but it is just as hard to LOSE as it is to maintain. I did the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for the last 15 pounds I lost and am currently doing the GM Diet to cleanse my body and lose those last 5 pounds so I can start training for a fitness competition. I have a little bit on a blog I am writing and you can check it out!

    I started at a size 14 but am now a 4/6. My first goal was 155. I never though I could be where I am now. Setting small goals is key!

    You look fantastic! Thank you for sharing your story and how you've accomplished your amazing weight loss. I hope to be looking half as good as you (I'm just over twice your age! LOL) by the end of the year. Good luck with the last few pounds.

    No, sorry I should have worded that differently. It's taken me about two months but I did it with the "30 day shred"!

    ^This is a blog I found the best information on.

    I DO NOT recommend this diet as a weightloss diet. I am doing it strictly as a CLEANSE to get my body back to a natural place so I can train for a fitness competition being completely healthy. I DO NOT think this is a healthy way to try to lose the 10-17 lbs like it mentions in a week.

    Here is my blog on my first day on the GM diet. Today is only day 3 for me.

    Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing!

    Your words made me a bit misty-eyed when you talked about how you currently see a 160 lb girl in the mirror. I've always been bigger, but once in my life I successfully lost weight and got down to 140. I looked and felt great. I wanted to lose about 5-10 more pounds at the time, but I remember while I was happy I did not truly see how good I looked. Now I look at those pictures and I'd give anything to look like that again. I think it's true that when you're bigger, it's hard to mentally switch to seeing a different vision in the mirror.

    Thanks for your honesty!
