    Lizpire- The first bit of weight I dropped I did it by just trying to eat a bit "healthier"...but alas, that didn't do too well...So last Jan I joined myfitnesspal. Down 78lbs so far using the app on my phone...Still another 40 until I hit my UGW. Also, I'm terrible at uploading photos on here! eek!

    you look amazing..... Did you work out a lot? what kinds of foods do you eat. I loose some pounds and all of sudden gain it after eating a bit of "FAT FOOD" :)
    I guess I might need more encouragement

    I work out but not a ton, just whats reccommended. 3-5 times a week with 30-40mins of cardio (elliptical machines and treadmills) with a bit of weight training (about30mins).

    I just eat as healthy as I can. My diet consists of mostly fish (tilapia, and mahi-mahi, sometimes tuna), greek yogurt, fresh fruits and veggies....

    Once you get away from fast food your body will get use to eating healthy. When I started this I use to get hungry ALL THE TIME...now I have to push myself to even eat 1200 cal a day.

    You're an inspiration! You're my idol! lol. I'll be 27 this year and I feel 40 so to see someone at 23 who has accomplished what I want for myself, it makes me want to work harder to meet my goal. Thank you so much for posting your photos & sharing your story. I have 100lbs to lose to hit my UGW & some days I feel like it's impossible but when I see posts like yours, I have hope that I can get healthy & be a better version of me. You look absolutely fabulous! :happy:
