I started on June 20, 2011 with a mission to compete in a figure competition. My reason for choosing to go that path was because if I didn't choose something so crazy and so unlike me, I don't think it would have worked. There was no way I could stay the same and compete, so something had to change.
My starting weight was 187lbs - June 2011 ( Purple brides maid dress pic)
The Sweat pants photo was around 150lbs - November 2011
The Green Bikini was 135lbs - April 2012
The Black pants and sports bra was 130lbs - May 2012
The Competition pic was 128lbs - June 2012

It has been a crazy year, but I am so glad I started when I did. I just want to say that if I could do this, YOU CAN TOO!! Just know your goal and stick to it! Thank you for listening:)

*Edit to say I am 5'5" and I was 27 when I started, 28 now!

    Love this!!!! I had just started a topic of going from a heavier person to a cut and jacked fitness enthusiast, with no bites or input and you have successfully answered that question with your story and series of pics. Thank you so much for sharing!! it is greatly appreciated. I am 5' 6" and 204 so I have a ways to go, but now I know that it is indeed possible. I would love to know how you accomplished these goals.

    Congrats on your loss!!! You look AMAZING!!!!! :drinker:
