Well, I still have a ways to go before I'm ready to maintain, but I want to stop and share the progress I've made so far.
I've yo-yo'd with my weight for my entire life, and I am seriously DONE with it. Done. I will never EVER see that 2 in front of my weight again. When I went looking for "fat angie" pictures to post in this thread, it was crushing. I never realized just how bad things had gotten.
But now is now. I'm a different person and I have an entirely different outlook on my body, exercise, food, and my life than I ever have before. Here are a couple of before and after pics. (I apologize for the quality of the after pics...i still hide from cameras, so I didn't have much to choose from
)
