I got on the scale this morning and truthfully couldn't believe that I finally hit my goal weight.

I've calorie counted and exercised regularly--ate all my exercise calories--and figured out how to make this a lifestyle, not a diet.

There are no quick fixes people--just hard work + determination.

And I'm only 5'2"

But the results speak for themselves:

Highest weight: 4780033993_bccb638cb2.jpg

6 months in--down from an 18 to a size 10: 5267291143_6bcdd916ab.jpg

142: 6549451879_4f6c1daf18.jpg

About 5 to go: 6973562243_70f55d2bac.jpg

Size 8 dress: 6887236026_596e25d26f.jpg

I feel great--healthy-happy. Yes I do have lose skin--lotion, time + lots of water are the only cure for that.
