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:
