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.





After:

Feeling great. Size 14, 180 lb.




Taken like five minutes ago. 180 pounds. :)




Side view. Still not too fond of my arms.




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!
 
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?
 
Thanks for the post and inspiration

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!
 
180

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.
 
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!
 
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 :) )
