I have been one of those "lurkers" from afar. I love this site and all your motivation and inspiration. It is now time for me to share because if I can do this ANYONE can.

A quick recap of me: I officially started my lifestyle change in march or april 08. I have my weight documented from January 08.
January 08- 172
October 08- 149

By cutting out *most* fast food and a lot of alcohol (thanks college!) and working out at least 4 days of week I have gone from a size 12 to a size eight. A side note I realized last night as I bought my first size 8 jeans.. in 8th/9th grade I was a size 16. I am 1/2 my size! (and a great support system of parents, boyfriend, best friends, mentor.. pretty much everyone in my life!)

I have a goal size and weight in my mind but I am taking it all one day at a time. I see this as a great halfway mark.

So thanks for all your inspiration on this forum!

I attached some pics; hopefully I can add some full body shots so you can actually see there is a difference! :)

I am not sure how to embed them into the post.. ??

You look great. I am also impressed by your grammatical skills. You are probably extremely smart too. Most people write like they are in the fourth grade when they are on the internet.

You are sooo pretty!! Congrats to you for being halfway there....please update your post when you reach goal.
You look great!:D

Thanks ya'll!

Wow! You are LOOKING good!
