I always imagined I'd be happy with my body if I could go back to the way I looked in high school. My older, fatter self was always mad at my 15 year old self for not appreciating how good I thought (in hindsight) I looked back then. Now, despite my having lost all the weight and being back in high-school shape again,…

Absolutely inspiring! Well done for all your hard work and congratulations you look gorgeous :)

Just bought NZ size 6 jeans for the first time in my entire life :) I think 6 here is a US size 4?

0630 week days, NEVER on weekends!! :bigsmile: (I still wake up at 0630 on weekends naturally though :noway:)

Wow you look AMAZING! Congratulations on all your hard work - you look fabulous :)

I have always been self conscious about my big arms too! My display pic shows kind of shows them then and now (I definitely don't have pictures of 'then' that are not covered by my shirt out of shame unfortunately). Good luck!

Hi I'm 22 and quite shy but would love to make some more friends here as well :)
