Me this year

Me last year

I recently saw a not so flattering picture of myself, a friend had taken. Just over a year ago I was at 173, my last scale check was 141. I am 6 pounds heavier then when I graduated high school, except, clothes from High School fit me better now then they did then.

I still have a goal of 21 more pounds, and the not so flatetring picture is enough motivation to get me working even harder then before. I am proud of what I have done, and intend to do more, and push farther. I can do it, and others have done it, we can all do this! Good luck.

    You look great, Lindsay. Well done. The only thing that would have made it better is if you had SMILED! (Well done!)

    Nice job! You confused me at first with the after picture first :) My thought was, she looked great what's not flattering.
