JLNichols07 Thanks! Dont be jealous because the funny this is that bc Im naturally so curvy the more weight I lose the more crap I get from my bf, family and friends about losing my curves. Its just part of the territory I guess.... You made amazing progress! Don't sweat it.
i had to show this dress - its a large, it wasnt done completely up at the back so it looks a little big up top...ive been thinking about it since i tried it on.. i freaking want it!

Since I'm back and trying to be a bit more active on here again (if anyone around here remembers me) I thought I'd post the most recent picture I have that shows my progress to date. After seeing this pic, I felt pretty good. It was the first time I've seen a picture of myself and thought I looked "normal" sized. This is me in probably May? at 132 ish pounds? 60kg. 210638_107587482661508_104338376319752_76440_66570 54_o by rainbowstripe, on Flickr
and for comparison, me at around 68kg back in January: . by rainbowstripe, on Flickr
Krampus How cute are you?!?!! You look great girl!
Cant believe Im posting these but... here goes....(big sigh)
165lbs has been my highest weight of all time, and 129lbs is my lowest. Ive been actively losing since the end of January 2011. Looking to get to 120 and maintain between there and 125.
160ish here in sept/oct 2010.
Please excuse my outfit, lol. I can get a little wild with the clothes at times and had no idea how chubby I was/ looked.
136lbs as of last saturday, June of 2011
I bought this skirt to wear out that night and then chickened out and put on tights instead. I felt great in the fitting room tryin it on. But I started feeling self conscious about my legs just before I was about to leave. Maybe after another 10lbs Ill have the confidence. After uve been hiding a particular body part for so long bc uve told yourself it doesnt look good its so hard to re-program your thinking after it has made a little improvement. You still see what you always did.
I also think you look GREAT in the first pic, but I also know that we are our worst critics I always have people telling me i dont need to lose. Congrats on your progress keep up the good work!
Hi Girls! I havent updated in awhile. Been maintaining at 145-148 since March. Re-started my mission to lose 10 pounds yesterday (I hate armpit fat!)
I went shopping this weekend and decided to look for a dress for a wedding the DH and I are attending this coming Saturday. I ended up buying 2...oops!
A "before" just for fun
Its really funny that I think I look better in pictures now than in real life. I spent my whole life avoiding pictures because I always thought they made me look bigger than I actually was and now I think I look smaller in pics than RL. I still feel like the pudgy girl and then I'll see a pic or catch my reflection in a glass door and think (surprised) "wow, i've got a pretty nice body." Our minds play terrible tricks on us!
Matilda Thanks so much! We are certainly our own worst critics! No matter what we are told, we see what we see... Congrats on your progress as well!

Skinny - The white dress has some black, its mostly a deep purply-gray color. Very pretty. I dont run, i'm not a big fan of cardio. I do P90X - lots of strength training.
I haven't been on here much since around Spring Break time since life got insane at that point, but it looks like you all are doing great! Everyone looks fantastic!
I always have people telling me i dont need to lose. Congrats on your progress keep up the good work!
