Hello Everyone!
I'm 22 and 5'10" and have had a constant struggle with weight my entire life. I've always been heavy, and done constant diets, and in high school I developed an eating disorder. After I recovered, I would try and diet, but always be afraid of slipping back into my eating disorder and would stop, gain back what I lost and then another 5 pounds.
May of 2011, I got engaged and I started my wedding weight loss at 274 which was the heaviest I have ever been. I did great for a few weeks and lost 20pounds, then work got busy and I had to travel all summer, and most of what I lost came back. The end of November 2011 I had a reality check trying on a wedding dress and got back on the wagon, this time starting at 261. I'm now at 212 and still have another 35-40 pounds to go. I'm SO CLOSE to ONEDERLAND and no longer being obese (yay) and my ultimate goal of 174.
I've had a lot of trouble seeing the progress and can barely notice a difference, but I wanted to post my progress so far, I hope you can see a difference!
Feel free to add for mutual support and motivation!
Here are my pictures:
Before 274, at my college graduation party
last summer, probably 260ish during the summer with my fiance in San Antonio
February around 235ish
this past weekend at an event for work at 214
another from this weekend at my niece's birthday party again 214
