I haven't taken any new pictures yet, but this one was taken in the middle of May -

beforepicture.jpg



I'm going to try to take a new picture with the same outfit but hopefully a less stupid face >.< I am currently 126, started at 131 - I was probably around that weight when this picture was taken, maybe a little lighter. For the record, I'm really short, 5'2.

Here is another to expose the bane of my existence, my upper arms. I have Keratosis Pilaris, which is a genetic skin condition that doesn't itch or have any negative effects other than that it looks AWFUL!
My arm is smushed against my body a bit but it doesn't look much better when it's not. I'm asian but i was adopted, so unfortunately i eat 100% like an indulgent American!

I hope to have some "after" pictures up sometime in this lifetime!
 
Well I don't think your face looks stupid at all in the first pic and I don't see what you're referring to about your arm/skin in the second picture. I think you're a very cute young girl whose got a bit of pudge around the middle. It shouldn't take much time to get rid of that. :)
 
I agree-- you're really cute. You don't need to go all crazy and drop tons of weight.

Is that a tattoo on your arm, or is it body paint? I loooove it!!
 
You look great right now, but I'm sure you'll be totally stunning in your afters!

I have the same arm stuff, but it's gotten better as I got older just like the rest of my skin. It's fairly annoying, though.
 
I stopped checking this because i didn't think anyone would look at it, lol!

I am korean, and that is a real tattoo! My goal weight is 120, which i think is ok for me - I'm really short. 5'3" on a good day, haha.

Here are some more recent pictures - I wish I had better "before" ones! Warning - underwear shots incoming. When my fiance sees this he'll probably be like "WTF" haha.

Disclaimer: Our bedroom doesn't always look like this.

I look AWFUL from the front. I've been going to the gym 5x a week since the middle of April.

Not too much better from the side - my clothes have been fitting better though, so I take solace in that.

I have KP too, and I hated it for years, but I've learned to accept it. And maybe when I'm a little old lady it will be gone forever! Good luck reaching your goals, I'm glad to read about your progress so far!
 
I think you look great now, hope I look half that good in my "afters". But it shouldn't take you long at all to get to your goal. And your dogs are adorable...do they get after pics too? lol
 
hey,

you really dont have much to lose at all its just your torso which needs a little toning , but your v.pretty and will be even better on your afterpicture which i can tell will be up soon :)
good luck x
p.s i love your tatoo it looks really original aswell.
 
before pictures?! I thought these were the "after pics!"

I thought these were "after" shots! I'm like..wait, where are the "before pictures"...did I miss something?! I think you look great, but I know that we all see our bodies differently than others. Once you tone up(which I personally thing you look awesome) you'll at least feel better. Keep it up :)
 
pretty tatoo

p.s. I love your tatoo! If I ever got one, I'd want it to be similar to yours.
 
Thanks everyone!

I'm excited about changing my lifestyle and can't wait to put up some more pictures when I see an improvement.

Shade and Remy say thank you for the compliments!

And thanks for all the compliments on my tattoo, I was very lucky to find an employer that lets me wear short sleeves, especially because it is HOT here in florida!!

:D
 
Congratulations. I can totally see some diffrence, were are the same height so i can understand your pain ;)
Love your tat's! adn your pup's there are too cute.
Good luck and thanks for sharing your story you are an inspiration. :beating:
 
I think you're adorable just the way you are - even from the front! I know how it is when you aren't happy with your own body though. You'll knock those 5 and half pounds out in no time!
 
I figured I should take some new pictures. I really haven't shed any more pounds, but I hopefully am getting fitter.
