Hi Everyone!

I'm a newbie :). I've been reading all of the posts on here for a couple of weeks and have been very inspired by all you lovely people living healthier, happier lives. I decided to post my own thread of before and after (well, in between at this point) to keep myself accountable and motivated.
I have a confession - I have always been a yoyo dieter. Horrible, I know... but this is the first time in my life that I'm taking a crack at sane, healthy, steady weightloss. I'm trying to think lifestyle change, but it can be hard sometimes! Keep your fingers crossed for me, and any advice would be very much appareciated!

Much love,

M.



So the first attachment is me at 193 pounds... I was devastated when I stepped on the scale that day and decided to change everything.

The second attachment is me at 160.. getting there, but still have a ways to go :)

I Just added another photo of me now at 152 pounds! It's not a great picture (I took it right after a workout... yuck haha). Hope that the difference is noticeable! :D

Wow... what a great difference. Keep up tha good work.
You work on that store? I have been lead to this forum because of the Before-Inbetween-After pictures, so it's great to see people like you who can inspire me to lose weight also.... =]

GOOD LUCK on your weight loss journey!!! Hope you meet your fellowers here... probably you would..:waving:
 
dang girl you already look really nice! So I agree with the guy above me your gonna be a knockout when you are all done!
 
Hello, my fellow BC gal! In fact, I wonder if you don't live in my town...:coolgleamA:

Anyhoo, lookin' GREAT! Glad you're trying to lose it in a sensible way, and "thinking lifestyle" as opposed to crash/yoyo diet. Making it sustainable is the only way to truly succeed.

Best wishes as you continue your journey! :driving:

Wow, you are already looking good. Congrats! Keep it up! :coolgleamA:

Go to the club challenges section of this forum and join in on some of the challenges. That has helped me finish my weight loss. I now only have 6 or 7 more lbs left to lose before I stop focusing on my weight. Go check it out!
 
Thank you so much for all your support everyone! It's so nice to be a part of a site thats as inspiring and motivating as this.
Just wanted to add a quick update... I weighed in today and I officially weigh 153 pounds, which means i've lost 40 pounds in total! I'm so happy!

Hope you're all enjoying your healthy new lifestyles, and i wish you all the best with your weightloss programs! :D

Sending you all love and good luck,

M.
 
you really look great right now already! =D ... remind me a bit of mariah carey for some reason.. hehe (no offence I hope, I admire mariah's curves and her no skinny crap)
 
Aww you guys are so good to me! The Mariah Carey thing is very flattering, thank you! :)
So just a quick update, I've decided to join a local Biggest Loser challenge! It's 12 weeks long, and I think it will be a great source of motivation (I've fallen off the wagon a little these last couple of days) and a good way to keep me accountable. Also, I've added a new picture in my first post of this thread, so check it out :)

Hope everyone out there is enjoying tons of success!

Love,

M. :)
 
You are very pretty as is to be honest. And also I want your job =) Awesome. Good luck on the biggest loser challenge. I don't think you have 43 more pounds to lose but as long as you are healthy and happy. Keep us updated:hurray:
 
*Sigh* I need some inspiration everyone. I just went through a really brutal breakup with my boyfriend, and have been really unmotivated and sad. Unfortunately I've also succumbed to the old ice cream and 80's teen movie breakup cure... so needless to say I haven't lost any weight (I actually gained 5 pounds :( ) for like 3 weeks now. I'm so discouraged. PLEASE Help!!!

PS. I'm putting a newer, more recent pic of myself up. Hopefully the weight gain isn't too noticeable. :(


Lots of love,
M.
