    Congrats on reaching your goal! As everyone else has said, you were already very pretty to begin with, but you look amazing now! It was funny, coming across this post really brightened my day. I ate horribly last night and was beating myself up over it. I'm the same height as you and just under the weight you started at, seeing your post gave me hope :). I lost 28 pounds before joining MFP so I know if I push myself I can do it.

    Awh, I'm so happy seeing this could have made your day better! :-) You can do it, I had LOTS of horrible days where I thought I couldn't do it but the key for me was realising it was a lifestyle change and not just a silly "diet", it didn't matter if I did badly one day because I was in this for life because I now enjoy the change in eating habits and exercise.

    I feel fantastic to finally be able to make this post. I've made one small thread of my own when I had completed most of my journey, and have reached my goal weight for a while now - but I wanted to hold out until today when I completed my first ever half-marathon.

    Last year I was 185lb, unhappy & unhealthy when I joined MFP and decided to make a change. I was completely lacking in confidence, didn't believe I was pretty enough for anyone and constantly snacked on food which my body just did not need. I had no idea about the poor nutritional content of much of the foodI was consuming.

    It has not just been a change in the way I eat and my nutrition, but also in my exercise and also my lifestyle. I would NEVER in a million years choose to go back to my old eating habits. I now have more energy, more confidence and feel so much better about myself.

    It has taken me ~a year but I am now 135lb. Today I completed a half-marathon in 2 hours 10 minutes (in very bad weather conditions, I believe I could have done it in 2 hours had they not been so bad) and I could not be more proud of myself! :)

    Here are some "old" photos

    and finally my victory picture from today (I was too cold and wet to get one straight after the race so waited until I got home!)

    If I can do it you can too! :)

    Edited to say.... I'm 19 and 5'7.

    oh sweetie.......you look soooooooo BEAUTIFUL!:flowerforyou:
