Hi there everyone! I have been to this site and never had the courage to get involved. I started my weight loss journey august 1st 2011. I gained about 70 pounds since high school due to an abusive relation I was in for a year. I thought that by gaining weight, not wearing make up and wearing ugly clothes that men wouldnt notice. This is the first time since that point in my life that I am finally comfortable enough with myself and my relationship that I have wanted to get back to my sexy self!


I am 5 10 and my starting weight was 225. Today I am sitting at 205 which is really exciting! I dont have many photos of before but I will post what ive got! Only 50 more pounds to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I have read this correctly then there is 20lbs difference in these 2 pictures, the change in your face shape is really noticable imagine the difference when you reach your goal.


Great job


PS I realize my replies are backwards,I still haven't got used to the new layout haha!

Yeah the photos only show 20 pounds I am down about 28 now! I cant wait until I see more changes in my body as well. I dont really see changes, but then I put on a shirt that was TIGHT and I couldnt button it over my boobs. then today I buttoned it all the way up and it was baggy! I love days like that!
 
Aww thanks! Its been a long time since I have felt pretty... maybe after I reach my goal I might feel gorgeous! Thanks for your encouragement!
 
You are really doing great...What are you doing to lose the weight? I wish I would have took more pictures, but I didn't want pictures taken of me when I was bigger...lol
 
I have been e ating 1300 calories on a pre made food plan from my doctor. I have soo many food allergies and porblems with oxalates which are in healthy foods that I couldnt figure out a good diet, so my doctor did for me. I am also running for 45 min on the elliptical every day as well as weight training 3 days a week.


Today is a big day in my weight loss goals. I started at 225 pounds on august first and today I HIT 198. I am below 200!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I SEE THE NUMBER 2 AT THE START OF MY WEIGHT!:hurray:
 
AYes, Super-Congrats! :D

That milestone is definitely cause for celebration! Welcome to 'One-der Land' :p lol

Just be careful though - not long after I hit that mark myself, I took a rest week due to some foot pains. That week of no exercise managed to put enough retention weight on me to throw me back into the 200's again. It was a little discouraging, but my foot felt better afterward and I was able to get back down again the following week :)

Anyway, I'm happy for you!

Congrats again, Elli! :D
 
Thanks everyone! I will not let it make me want to relax now that i hit the 100's again. I am only working harder! I cant wait for the 180s!
