I've been heavy since I was a kid, with only one brief period 4 years ago when I lost a lot of weight (in a very unhealthy way) only to gain it all back plus another 30lbs or so. However, 2 years ago I saw pictures of myself from a Six Flags trip with my family and I was absolutely horrified and disgusted at my 180 lb self. So then....same story you've heard a million times: I started eating right and exercising. Running and taking kickboxing classes and cutting out crappy foods, I lost about 30 lbs. Then about a year and half ago I made the lifestyle choise to become a Vegan and have since lost another 15 lbs.

So here I am, 135 lbs for the past 8 months or so, and looking to lose those last 15. I needed a boost and some encouragement to kick my butt into gear! (I'm 5'4" and 19 yrs old):

As you can see, being Vegan is not code for "anorexic"!
(Everyone on this forum is amazing! Thank you!)

And you look as if you lost more than 45 lbs actually!
You're a beauty! Congratulations on your loss and maintenance! Enjoy your healthy new body.
