So I started my journey in February of this year to get back to a healthy weight after struggling with it for the past 5 yrs. I am 5'10" and I started at 258lbs (which is my highest weight that I'm aware of). Up until my senior year in high school I was usually around the 175-180lb mark which isn't far from my healthiest weight. So since February I have managed to lose 22lbs just by watching what I eat and working out 5-6 days a week. I am now down to 236lbs but I still have a long way to go! Today while I was cleaning out my closet I cam across some old pairs of jeans that i wore probably about 3 years ago that were a size 16 ( at my heaviest weight I was wearing a size 20!). I tried them on and amazingly THEY FIT!!!!!! I am sooo excited! I can't wait to keep going and see my body change more and more as time goes on! Just thought I'd share this with you all who may need a little motivation! This definitely makes me want to keep pushing! If I can do this so can YOU!

Your starting weight is almost exactly what mine is! I'm 5'11" and my starting weight was 255. At my thinest I was wearing a size 10 and that was only 2 years ago. Now at a 20 I hate everything I wear. I hate to shop and I feel like others are judeging me because of my size. Thanks for the boost in my confidence! I now know this will work!0 -
CONGRATS...
and on a side note, im jealous of you being so damn tall!! i'm 5'1 1/2" *sob*0 -
That's awesome! Congrats - it's definately a good feeling.
I just arranged my closet by size the other day - as I lose weight I'll try on the next "section" of clothes. I'm thinking like every 10-15 lbs lost I'll give it a whirl. I'll either be excited that I have more clothes to wear or determined to get back into them. I'm sure I have at least 20 pairs of pants that DON'T fit me right now. I told myself that it's pointless to buy new clothes when I have all this good stuff in there just collecting dust!0 -
Congrats!! Keep up the great work girl!!0
