Hi everyone,
I've been using the MFP app on my iPhone since last summer, but I started losing weight in December 2009. I'm new to the message boards, though, and looking for more friends to help inspire and motivate me. I'm down to losing the last 20, and it's proving to be difficult a lot of the time. I'm a full-blown sugar addict and it's a huge downfall.
Moving on--at my highest weight I hovered around 190. I'm barely 5'3 1/2"! Currently I weigh 140.8, and my goal weight is 120. These are some before/during photos. The top row is obviously me, before. The bottom row is me the past few months. I really want to get to 120 and finally be able to wear a bikini this summer, which I've never been able to do! Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to meeting more of you and helping to motivate each other!

Hey Josephina57, thank you! I wish I could, but my stomach is probably my worst area. It's not very toned, there's what I believe to be extra flab/fat/skin on it, and it makes me so angry & frustrated! Gah! I keep hoping that an extra 15-20 pound loss, along with toning and weights, will take care of that.

You. Look. FANTASTIC!!!

Wow, you really look incredible!! Great job 0

Thanks Jackie & s1lence!
Also, I have to say--I agree with something another member posted. When I was at my heaviest, I knew I wasn't skinny, but I had NOOOO CLUE how heavy and large I really was! When I see these pics I do NOT recognize myself...it's like I'm in the Twilight Zone! Anyone else know that feeling? 0 -

I feel your struggle with sugar. I'm five pounds from GW and I know that it's the reason I'm not there yet. Grrr! Your legs look fantastic by the way! LOVE those white shorts :happy:0

you have done an awesome job and look incredible. :flowerforyou:
Your stats are really close to mine. I started in January at around 190 and am now down to 154ish and i'm 5'4". My biggest problem is also in my stomach area. I'm also hoping that once I lose more weight, it will tone up. I want to lose around another 10-15lbs. It was funny when I read your post, it was like I could have wrote it.
Feel free to add me0 -
You are a lovely girl. I understand how you feel. I am a super sugar addict. It has been a challenge to control. The last bit is the hardest to lose and of course, the last to go is the tummy. Best of luck, you can add me if you like, would be happy to support you.0

Girl, you look awesome! ...and I am totally digging the lighter hair you are rockin at the moment.
