    Holy cow! You look SO different! You look younger & so much healthier! Are you sure you've only lost 47 lbs?! Way to go! Awesome job!!!
    :flowerforyou:
    Haha! Thank you so much!

    I'm sure it has a lot to do with all the lean muscle rather than just losing fat and not replacing it with anything.

    I hate to have to tell you this, but your baby has a strange white growth where the face should be!

    Kidding, you should be so proud or your accomplishment! Look at how you used to hide behind people in the top two pics, not anymore. Stand tall and proud, you deserve it! :)

    Thank you OP for sharing!! I'm 5'10" and have been really discouraged lately by a lot of people saying that it takes forever for weight loss to start being noticeable for taller women. But you look fantastic!
    I've so been needing to see a SS like this. :3

    No way! Especially if you are toning as you lose, people will notice! What is more important is that YOU will notice with just a 5lb difference.
    How could they not notice tall and beautiful women slimming down? :)

    You look fantastic! I saw that you weigh 168...it made me realize how crazy height has to do with weight! I'm currently the same weight as you, only I'm 5' 2" and considered "obese" by the BMI standards. I honestly don't think I look obese! But I am surely counting down the pounds!

    I highly recommend 30DS to everyone! Just the sense of accomplishment it gave me was huge. To struggle through day 1 and then to make it all the way to day 30. When I moved onto Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism and I was doing the same moves for twice as long as I was used to (and making it through) I knew I had really accomplished something huge.
    Stick with it!!!

    WOW! Awesome, and congratulations to you! You look amazing! May I ask if you exercised? How many calories did you eat daily? Did you some times not record what you ate because you couldn't scan it?

    Thank you! I did exercise. Exercise has made all the difference. I have been this weight before, but I did not look half as good because I was only watching what I was eating and barely exercising.

    I started out eating 1280 calories per day (because I wanted to lose 2lbs per week) and it has slowly been decreased to 1200 as I lost the weight.
    I always record what I eat immediately. I input calories manually or I search for items with the search tool.
    Most days I pre-record what I will eat so there is no guess work as to what I will be eating for the day. It is already logged and in my mind cannot be changed.
