I've been a member of this forum since late December 2007, and that's right around the time that I started losing my weight. I turned seventeen on December 27, 2007, and that was the day that I really decided to do something about my weight. I had always been overweight, but it wasn't really like being fat. Just a cute little pudge, I guess you'd say. Well, when I turned sixteen, I started becoming less active, and taking after my new boyfriend's horrible eating habits. I gained about 50 pounds in less than a year, and I felt awful. After a while, I broke up with this guy, and as soon as I did, I went on a strict doctor-prescribed diet. I walked for about an hour every night, and ate practically nothing. In only two months, I had lost thirty pounds, and while I had originally intended to lose more, I found myself pretty happy at 180. I still have certain issues with not being a size 4, but being a 14 isn't all that bad.

I'm 5'6, by the way.

Here are a few pictures:


Before:

Funny shirt, I know. I was about 210 here.

With a friend. A size 20, and I was not too happy about my multiple chins.

Last before picture. Right before I started losing.

And last, but not least. A face shot, taken yesterday. :)

Thanks to everyone in this forum. Your photos really helped keep me inspired.

You carry your weight very well... that does NOT look like 180! You look great... such a cutie!

Oh wow, thanks a lot! :)

That's what people tend to tell me, but I'm still my own worst critic.

Thanks again, though. :D

whoa there! hey pretty lady! lol. Your looking fantastic! Amazing job. I'm about 180 right now and the same size. It looks great on you, I wish I could say the same... I'm pretty short though. Is 180 your goal?

You do look wonderful, your new energy is seen through the photos. I am 5'5 195 right now and you are giving me motivation to stay to goals, I am hoping I look as nice at 180! Good Wishes. Thanks!

I agree you wear the weight well I would never guess you were 180! Great job! Keep it up!

if u want to do something about your arm do pushups and keep going down keep on trucking baby.

whoa there! hey pretty lady! lol. Your looking fantastic! Amazing job. I'm about 180 right now and the same size. It looks great on you, I wish I could say the same... I'm pretty short though. Is 180 your goal?

180 wasn't my original goal, no. I had planned on getting down to maybe 150, but I'm really loving where I am.

I used to think that you had to be a size 2 to be really pretty, but I lost that belief when I lost all of my weight.

There are PLENTY of beautiful women that are larger.

So, no, it wasn't my goal, but I believe that I'm going to stay put. :)

Well, I shouldn't necessarily say that. I may try and lose some more, but I doubt it.

I think you look fantastic where you are, seriously!!

yea, you seriously don't look 180 to me either! I didnt' think you looked 210 either...how tall are you???

anyways, you look great!

Saying you carry your weight well is an understatement! I am the same weight as you right now and only 1 inch shorter, and If I looked as good as you I probably wouldn't have started a diet in the first place! lol. You look amazing, even if you decide to not lose any more weight.

You look awesome! You have a "glow" about you now! Very pretty! Thanks for posting the encouraging pics!

You look awesome! :)

Ooooo, I carry my weight same as you (awesome!)... I'll soon be looking as hot as you lady! Stunning! (LOve the face photo, beautiful :) )

You look great. Well done.

-Rob

you are too cute!! keep up the great work :)

wow congrats on your weight loss so far....looking great:)

Looking great! You're so cute!

Size 20 or size 2, it's your confidence that makes you sexy!

Wow wonderful you dont even look like a 180 pounds!
