Before, In-Between & Soon-To-Be After

Hello Everyone,

I have thought of how I'd begin this multiple times before, never to have found a solid ending nor beginning until now.

I made this account 4everSome1Else to motivate myself in the process of losing weight. Through time I came on more so and began interacting with individuals on this site. I still lurk around at times to keep myself motivated when I lose balance. Before I can think of anything else to mention here is my oh-so boring story which I'm sure many of you can relate to in some way.

At the age of 11 I began eating out of boredom, moving to a new area made things seem difficult, especially making friends and getting out more. During the 3 years I began gaining weight, I was less active outside of school and I began to stress out more. I ate what I wanted whenever I wanted without asking myself if this was right for me. During high school I changed a few bad habits and added vigorous exercise to my daily routine, but they were not wise changes. During the years I'd have began binging and starvation in order to maintain the "lean physique" that I had worked on. After much failure to maintain a healthy weight, I began going to the gym with my friend. The first time I stepped foot inside those doors I knew that my life had changed, that I for once in my life was determined to a healthier lifestyle. Since then I have not been binging or starving my body, as a matter of fact I felt it was more accurate to listen to my body rather than punish it. When I had felt hungry I would eat, when I wanted sweets I would eat sweets I would eat sweets with the right amount. I felt that a good balance was what I needed, without the balance I would have gone back to my old ways. Learning that everything including food consumption needed to be done in moderation. Too much junk food caused emotional stress, health problems, weight gain and the list goes on.

My starting weight was a little over 190 pounds. I hated the scale for that, every time I read it I would tell myself the scale was lying which it was not. To this day I still don't like the scale nor will I ever for that matter. In my opinion I don't think a scale should make you feel fat even if you think you are. To this day I still get side tracked and eat a little unhealthy, but I get right back to eating right. The little voice in my head is a guidance when I go astray, it's helped me during the toughest times. When old habits sink in it's good to know that it will not be the end of you.

My success came from motivating myself each day, I was determined to change for my health, for my happiness for me. Each day is less hectic, less of a chore because weight loss has became a daily part of each day for me where as it was more a chore in the past. Weight was something I wanted off as quickly as possibly without thinking of the consequences that I'd be faced with. Today I look and feel healthier than before.
 
I get a bit confused by your pictures, but wish you luck on your journey to your goal.

Congrats on your weight loss, so far!
 
I dug deep to find my before and well (not so recent) in-between pictures. I hope these are better photographs of me..

One of me in April at approx: 180 lbs
November at: 160 lbs

I'm currently between 150 lbs and 156 lbs
 
Wow, you look great keep up the good work! I can see Tik Tak's confusion the other pictures were a collage but the last ones show a real difference. Great job!
 
Good job on the weight loss, you are looking great!.

I agree with above about the collage photos, hard to make out whats what. probably pays to just post tons of pics :)

Thank you very much mad8588, It's been quite the journey actually to get to this stage. I have not been working out as much during the summer however I'm still maintaining my food intake and weight. I should have definitely posted the photographs separately with the above.

Thank you very much wishes, I feel great too now that I've gotten this far. I remember always hiding my arms because they were my toughest parts to lose, especially during the summer time. I never wore shorts nor a dress for that matter because of my legs and arms. Hopefully this year I can do so and post the photographs on here :)

Next time, I will post them separately instead of causing confusion which I can understand why.
 
I have been super busy this summer & now that I have some time I thought I'd show everyone a recent photo of me, I'm close to my goal weight of 130 pounds at 5'6..

This was just a few months ago while I was in Europe. I have seen a BIG difference in me, although my eating habits are a little off the track, although I'm getting there I want to FINALLY have a photo of me that titles "after" I'm just too eager for that moment.
