So I feel like I do one of these every month lol but it's been 10 weeks, and I've lost 30 pounds, and I have 20 or so to go.

I was a teen mom, and have plenty of stretch marks, so disregard that =/

I'm really excited to have come this far already, and I'm excited to finish this up. I can actually wear sundresses this summer. I can wear skirts and cute tops! It's definitely exciting.


So this one was taken April 11th at my highest weight EVER 224 pounds:

This was yesterday, June 29th at 194 pounds:

    You are looking good! Keep up the good work!
    Just out of curiosity, how tall are you? You look very slim to weigh in the 190's. Gives me hope that I might like pretty good at your weight! ;-)

    Just a heads up about your before/after pictures - you should keep your front arm in the same place because that makes a difference on how your stomach looks. That said, you have an amazing shape coming in for your torso and stomach. Like the lines that are happening? Wow. So jealous. You should be very excited and proud of your hard work. Congratulations and keep it up!

    Yeah, I noticed that. I've taken all of my photos since my first one with my arm up, it's just that first initial photo that my arms like that.

    Thank you =)

    I owe a lot of it to how my body reacted to the lesser amount of calories. I had been consuming 2700 calories or more a day, with little exercise for months, causing me to gain lots of weight quickly. I cut it to 1200-1500 a day, and exercise when I can, and my body has just been reacting to that really quickly.
